Yeah that’s what they do. And the best can even feign an accent.
Some learn languages just to play a part.
or used to.
That’s when acting meant putting everything into a role.
And not worrying about PC nonsense.

It’s called “acting”...not “realing”

Thanks CondoleezzaProtege. Naturally, the end result is that the critics outed themselves as racists and bigots.

Susanna is also Jewish, that would REALLY get the liberals in a rage.

I never heard of Nadine Njeim, but I just used Google, and she’s beautiful. Not that it matters for the point.

Because Cleopatra was culturally Greek, she had the same adversity to makeup as the Romans. I meant to include the Romans in this cultural idea of beauty. Hence, the attraction to Roman general, Mark Antony may have been her natural beauty. I said that the Egyptians were not inclined to use makeup. However, that is not the case. They were heavy users of makeup, which Antony may have had no liking to. Perhaps Cleopatra may have lined her eyes with the Egyptian makeup, as depicted in the Egyptian Papyrus images. However, when she appeared to Antony, hidden in a clothing sack, I bet it was tutto naturale senza vestiti!

It's all about nothing...
Cleo wasn't Arab, African, Greek, or anything from Earth...
River Song was the original Cleopatra...
Only because of the contractions of the Ricci Curvature Tensor to the appropriate Ricci Scalar needed by the Blue Box on the night she was conceived...

Cleopatra wasnt an Arab. She was 100% European. Casting an Arab actress would be cultural appropriation.

I told my wife this, and that there’s a hue and cry about an Israeli playing an Egyptian. She said “Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it?”
