They may be worried fans will only know them as that role so casting them in something different may not work for them.

Seems a bit silly to throw away talent like that

But if they never cast them in the first place they're not throwing away the talent, also their asking price could be too high especially for a pilot episode, or the first season of something.

Perfect example the Librarian tv movies starred Noah Wylie (who also starred in E.R.) however once the tv series came out they probably couldn't afford him on a per episode basis, but he did make appearances.
