If you ask someone if they think you'd be casted for a part in a movie and their response is "you'd be a shoe in"?

What's a "shoe-in"?
A sure thing.

Reply:Shoe In





"A race horse so fast that you can merely shoo it across the finish line rather than having to urge it on with stronger measures is a “shoo-in”: an easy winner. It is particularly unfortunate when this expression is misspelled “shoe-in” because to “shoehorn” something in is to squeeze it in with great difficulty."
