Just a rule of mine that I think serves itself well. Even if she is really an amazing actress and would work great in the role, if I know she is the directors wife or for that matter, directors casts husband, gay lover, whatever...if I know about it I get bugged.
It's even worse when the woman fucking sucks at acting. Kevin Smith has cast his wife in Clerks II playing the love interest of Dante. I would find directing my wife to kiss a friend of mine really weird. He does even better in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back when he casts his wife as one of the sexy seductress women who liberate animals...only problem is stacked against Eliza Dushku, Shannon Elizabeth, and Ali Larter his wife is a fucking dog. Don't get me wrong, she is a beautiful lady but don't put her next to these 3 gals.
Rob Zombie casts his wife a lot too...problem I have with him is that he is obsessed with some sort of bizarro Hill Billy motif. Secondly, his trailer was by far the shittiest fake trailer that came out of Grindhouse. The best is obviously Machette.
