diverse casting
Varied actor selection
Diverse casting is the practice of selecting actors from varied racial, ethnic, gender, or ability backgrounds, particularly for roles not traditionally filled by such performers.
The term emerged as film and theater moved away from predominantly white casts: The production's diverse casting brought fresh perspectives to Shakespeare.
Sometimes called inclusive casting or nontraditional casting.
