  How do you act as anyone else ever? Unless you are a genetic clone of the person you must not be allowed to act!

    Acting is not about changing the appearance.

    Race is relevant since it tells us quite a bit about someone and people of different races are and have historically been treated differently by society. Japanese people, for instance, were(still are) quite xenophobic.

    Why not cast an african or a white person as the Emperor of Japan then? Can’t they act?

    Let’s have a white Martin Luther King. Let’s make black people play slaveowners and whip other blacks around, surely they can act quite well.

  You’re right. We should absolutely, not once, not ever, have a person who doesn’t perfectly, down to the finest detail, match the description of the character they are depicting act for that role.

  I saw a local stage play of madame web where a woman played a male character. It literally wasn’t even a distraction and they sold the character well.

      Commenter sounds like they would complain about Arial being black because her original character was white.

      You really wanna defend that?
