Unfortunately, Camastra did not get the role. The producers of the movie decided to go with Jennifer Lopez instead. Lopez had already established herself as an actress and had a larger fan base than Camastra.

Despite not getting the role, Camastra continued to pursue her acting career. She appeared in a few television shows and movies such as “CSI: Miami” and “The Young and the Restless”. She also appeared in a few music videos.
