That guy is really mad he’s unattractive and been passed over for that very reason. Plus he sounds like a pain in the ass and not many want to hire that crap. Go away you pathetic d lister.

[Pigsley]

THATSSSSSSS DIFFERNENT you raccccissssss!!!!!!

[Boogieman]

The better question is: why is James Franco even getting movie roles anymore? Wasn’t he cancelled? Even his best buddy Seth Rogen said he won’t work with him anymore.

[MurrietaMadman]

No mention of who would be portraying David Rockefeller?

[simpson96]

It’s called “acting” for a reason.

[Jim W N]

All this identity politics.

Franco is Latin (from Italy I think) so his skin is darker than the average bear if anyone really cares...

[DFG]

What about Peter Falk (Twilight Zone "The Mirror") and Woody Allen (Bananas)?

[PallMal]

Peter Falk played a Castro-like dictator in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Everyone knew that his character was actually a depiction of Castro, right down to the fatigues, rebel hat, and cigar.

Samuel Jackson probably.........................😜

[JesusIsLord]

White actors have played Asians and Native Americans in movies for decades and sometimes look silly doing do......

[PallMal]

Add Peter O’Toole as “The Man of La Mancha”.

[Red Badger]

[MurrietaMadman]

Samuel Jackson probably.........................😜

I think David would look up and smile if that were to happen

[Red Badger]

“The Man of La Mancha” was a white European...................

[dfwgator]

along with his co-actor (an actual Cuban American, much older now) Steven Bauer.

You mean Rocky Echevarria, which he was called when he was in Que Pasa, USA.

[PallMal]

It doesn't matter to people like Leguizamo.

As long as the character has a Spanish surname, it has to be someone with a Spanish surname playing that role.

I bet he wouldn't care if say, Julio Iglesias, played some South American dictator, even though Iglesias was born in Spain.

[Red Badger]

If the character is a ‘bad guy’, then they claim it is ‘stereotyping’........ You can’t win...................

[W.]

Great movie!

[wardaddy]

Leguizamo is Colombian
A Cachaco from Bogota
Not Caribbean as he sometimes appropriates

He is predominately Spaniard like most high end Colombians

European

He is actually by his definition no different than Penelope Cruz or Javier Bardem or Christina Ochoa

Relegated to European roles

They never get it right

It’s a privilege from him to play Puerto Ricans as often as he does

[Red Badger]

I actually thought he was Puerto Rican!...............

Mestizo?.............................
