If a film is being made by an intelligent director, they're going to cast the right guy.
Snoop Scorsese, that's my director name.
I was fired from a movie because I did 'Heathers!' I was cast in a movie, and the director saw an advance screening and was offended by it and fired me.
I learned that you have to say that you're a filmmaker. You're not a screenwriter; you're not a director for hire. You've got to take charge. You're a filmmaker, and you're going to make a film.

Sucking up to a director means you are unsure of your talents. I'm not.
The director is a bit analogous to the conductor of a symphony orchestra. It's a collaborative adventure.
I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.
Having anything to do with a hit film is great. Even if you're a third assistant to the director or second to the editor, if the film does well, every technician, every actor benefits from it.
