If they're looking for Pee Wee Herman and you're the "James Earl Jones" and the audition was posted online, then I'd say walk away. But if they're asking for Pee wee and your agent sends you the audition, then it's simply your job on the audition to convince them that "James Earl Jones" as you perceive it and relate it to your acting and the copy, is the better fit.
This is part of the difference between what a trained professional does and someone who merely tosses spaggetti against the wall to see what sticks.
Everytime you see or hear something different, consider that the original call was for something else and that person who booked the job was able to convince the person doing the hiring to hire them.
