Mandy Patinkin forced out of a three-week Broadway engagement because he was replacing an "actor of color" who is still going to leave anyway? That makes no sense! Now the show is more likely to CLOSE.

If I had a dollar for every time Manny quit or was fired from a production of any sort I’d be driving a much nicer truck. Very good (maybe great on stage ... overrated on the screen) actor who takes himself and his “craft” far too seriously.

Mandy is “virtue signaling” in a big way.

It keeps getting more ridiculous .

All we think when we see Mandy Patinkin is “white privilege”.

He should retire.

He has ruined the lives of enough “people of color”. /s

He had no problem playing Satan in Touched by an Angel, though. Just saying.

Nothing new here. Mandy Patankin has quit so many shows and TV series, that this is simply another of his failed attempts to be an actor or whatever the heck he thinks he is.

>>“I would never accept a role knowing it would harm another actor,” Patinkin said.<<

By definition, every time you accept ANY role and are paid you hurt another actor who would have had your role, Mandy.

End your career, Mandy. The carnage must be stopped!

When your net worth is 9 figures you can virtue signal without personal consequences.

If you read the whole article, it sounds like the other actor was forced out so Patinkin could take the role.

My neighbor at the country house in upstate NY.

Guess he’ll be around more now.

Mandy Patinkin has a reputation for dropping out of things without warning leaving his fellow actors in the lurch.

He is a good actor but a major jerk. It is a wonder that he can still get work.
