What Justin Trudeau wasn’t available?

A perfect match both facially and politically with a DNA match as a bonus.

Beyond these juvenile rantings of a marginal “actor” over his potential “employment”-— WHY is there a movie being made about the murderous thug Fidel Castro?

WHO is financing this kind of way out of date shite? What H’wood Communist cabal (or is it Xi Ping’s payola pals there?) Chinese Hollywood repped by Adam Schiffty the paedophile?

Seriously. Let’s get the goods and go after this “project”— AFTER the Lefties eat each other’s livers over their “art”.

Franco hangs out with some really suckass people like Seth Rogan et al and is basically a leftist but he sure is versatile. I’ve seen him in so many movies playing everything from saint to sinner and he hits the mark. He has the similar look of Castro, the ability to voice and play it and there’s nothing wrong with him doing the role. Legsqueezezamo can suck it.

Sort of. She was a bad breaker-upper, though.

And really fun to watch.

Until these clowns insist on a hard and fast moratorium on Black men playing Santa Claus I’m filing this under “more fake Hollywood outrage.”

"Fidel wasn’t Latino neither, as White European as they come."

Leguizamo was once again appropriating European culture. And why is he speaking English and using the transphobic "Latino"?

I don’t doubt that at all. My comment was mainly about him being very good at the roles he takes and being very prolific. That John L is ethnic-whining is just stupid. Were that what the world really should be - only correct actors for correct parts - then they have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do about “Hamilton!”

It may be a “Tempest in a teapot” but he does have a point.

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

Franco plays DeNiro’s feckless douche son in “City by the Sea,” In one scene, I swear he looks just like Travis Bickle.

Ok, a supposed anti-Communist, who was married to a founder of AFLAC.

Still, not much of a story here— and, if I recall correctly— gonna check with Humberto Fontova on this for background- she came to the US and in Spain took pot shots on all the former Fidelistas (which was a good thing, if she had done it without money as the goal- it was not effective and she was successfully sued by a inner circle Fidelista—her Random House/Spain publisher was for defamation— truth but defaming the crooks).

Thanks Red Badger!

His mother never explained to him that movies are make-believe?

This is slightly off-topic, but I think a great movie could be made about Twiggs Lyndon, who was the road manager for the Allman Brothers Band and later The Dixie Dregs. From what I’ve learned about him, he did not lead a boring existence.

Pacino as “Scarface” played a convincing developed Cuban emigre drug criminal. Did a lot of language Spanglish study, with a pretty good Cuban American accent, along with his co-actor (an actual Cuban American, much older now) Steven Bauer.

It is fine to see the Lefties screaming at each other unwinding their limp pretzel logic “minds”.

That’s the kicker, isn’t it!?!

Since Fidel Castro was white, any latino actor playing Fidel Castro on screen would be committing brutal and insensitive cultural appropriation!
