When I call, to find out a status, their phone goes to voicemail. Text messages go unreplied.

With one of them that I was supposed to shoot on Saturday, I got a call yesterday saying "Sorry it's taken me 2 days to get back to you. I've been sick. I'm still interested in working with you, if you're still open to working wtih me." And I'm at a loss of words for how to respond. He's a very attractive guy but I hate being walked on.

I'm considering revising my casting sites to explain that I'm really, really serious about this issue and that if they commit to showing up then that's what's expected of them. For some reason I get the feeling that their attitudes are simply that this is optional. That it's "no biggie" to not show up. This is something fun, and if they don't feel like it then who cares? They'll go out with their buddies instead. I have a feeling that they think they're somehow above calling and saying they're not going to make it.

Although I never really get an explanation out of them after this happens,
that's the vibe I get from these guys. Anyone else having issues like these lately? It's never really been this bad for me before. I've always had people not show up, but lately it's just been incredible.
