Reply to comment by Smudge777 in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto

Nice. And I'm not normally the guy who does thus online, but this one is one of my biggest pet peeves...there is no such word as 'casted'. The past tense of cast, is cast.

Actually it supports both. The word casted is technically correct circa the 14th century. It is starting to come back, but the common usage is cast. So you're right on a technicality, and I'm correct on common usage. But you know what, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. You do you.
