Well the casting sheets seem to be more like a quick outline of a character, not a detailed breakdown. Just how much detail they include on them seems to vary show to show and they may leave out major details for whatever reason (IMO, one reason is it gives a show room to keep developing the character up to the last moment but I'm sure there are many more reasons than that).

Anyway, a case in point is Trance Gemini's casting sheet. Laura Bertram said at Starfest last year that she didn't know that she was going to be purple with a tail until *after* she got the part and they started doing up her costume! So I think it's safe to assume that whatever was on the casting sheet for Trance Gemini didn't mention heavy make-up (or heavier than normal - which turning a someone into a purple alien does entail >;-)). However, I believe Brent Strait (who was at the same con) said that he did know he was going to be doing heavy make-up, so I would guess that information must have been on Rev Bem's sheet.

PS: Plus I said it could change, not that it would change. IMO it's just way to early to know how this is going to end up when it shows up in the show :-)
