undercasting
Staffing below needs
Undercasting is casting an actor who lacks sufficient skill, experience, or presence for a role—the opposite of casting someone too prominent.
A film may suffer from undercasting when budget constraints force directors to hire less capable performers: The lead was badly undercast; she couldn't carry the emotional weight of the third act.
Less commonly, undercasting refers to assigning fewer actors than a production needs.
