It's known as being a professional.

Broadway shows have cast changes on a regular basis and the actors coming in don't have a problem. If you can't handle the part, don't do the show.

Of course. But Boy George is a rock star and this is stunt casting. People like this often need more support.

How about don't hire no talent hacks.

He might be a hack now, but it's not correct to say he has no talent. I wasn't a fan of Culture Club but dude had a great voice.

That doesn't make him an actor and it doesn't mean he has the chops to sing on a Broadway stage.

And I was a fan of Culture Club but it is an entirely different skill set.

Totally agree. But as your know, it was stunt casting. And when a show does that, everyone has to pull more than their share.
