"cast"

"Look, it's one thing not to cast me, but to lie to me?" what's What does this sentence mean?

 

----

Joey is an actor.  When he is selected for an acting job, we can say, "Joey was cast in the role of Peter Pan."  The person directing the film might say, "Joey, I have cast you in the role of Peter Pan."

 

Therefore, your sentence means that Joey was not selected for the acting job.

Good evening, It appears that you may have taken this sentence out of a conversation that gave it more meaning. You should look at the entire conversation and then draw your conclusions from that/ Knowing what I know about "Friends" it was most likely meant to be funny or humorous. Good luck on your learning adventure!
