As some have suggested, the answer is “sometimes.”
Established actors are usually what’s called “offer only,” which means they don't audition. However, they may hear about a script or project and want to be a part of it, though they haven't received an offer. In that case, if their interest is not reciprocated, they may offer to audition in the hope of convincing the producers to consider them.
Name actors may also be asked to audition if the role is very different from their previous work. Russel Crowe is not known as a singer, so it makes sense that he was asked to audition for Les Mis.
Also, it's important to understand the difference between auditions and other preliminary steps like chemistry reads. Once an actor is attached to a project, s/he may be asked to read with potential costars. For those costars, it's an audition. For the attached star, they're already cast, but participating in the audition process to help the producers make a casting choice.
