As far as I'm concerned, he can put on blackface and play Aunt Jemima.
I would so go see that movie!
I have wondered whether or not anyone would ever go after Lin Manuela-Miranda for Cultural Appropriation, in light of his using only minority actors to represent the White Founding Fathers. And then, when advertising for replacement actors in the NYT, specifying that only minorities would be considered. BREATHTAKING DOUBLE STANDARD??
John Wayne asked Charlton Heston how he could play a gay guy. Heston said, “It’s called acting, John. You should try it.”
It’s called acting.
I suppose it’s not PC for somebody to play a psychotic murderer. They would need to actually hire a psychotic murderer. (Hey, on second thought, I like that.)
It is a shame about this movie. The original is great. It is French. Funny, poignant, sad. Just perfect. Kevin Hart is a buffoon.
Hell yes! And why do they let all those ordinary people play superheroes? Only someone from Krypton should play Superman.
My god... So you`re saying he doesn’t know how to make meth? What have I been smoking?
On a serious note though, the good news is... There will be no need for Sean Penn to apologize for playing a mentally challenged man in ‘I am Sam’, and there will also be no need for him to apologize for playing a ‘stoner’ in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”... Because he is a mentally challenged stoner.
His next part playing an abusive husband will also be guilt free.
If the SAG was asked to send a list of quadriplegic actors to a studio for auditions, how long would that list be?
Hollyweird will get consumed by its own Political Correctness.
It will get so bad that only homosexuals will be allowed to play homosexuals, only Latinos will be allowed to play Latinos, only Chinese will be allowed to play Chinese, only paraplegics will be allowed to play paraplegics, only blind will be allowed to play blind, etc, etc, etc.................
Hiring a real quadriplegic for the role would cost an arm and a leg.
Dont even acknowledge the detractors. Ignore em totally. If they persist, tell them to go to hell.
Christopher Reeve was unavailable.
He’s a big lefty so I hope he’s raked over the coals by his fellow snow flakes
Others dye their hair or put on prosthetics.
But Cranston didn't consider become a paraplegic to play the role?
How come they’re not going after Kevin Hart for playing his assistant when REAL assistants to paraplegics exist?
If he had to play only those roles that he knew, he’d be stuck playing a brain-dead liberal retard for life.
He has to defend playing a role? He is an actor. He pretends for a living.
Unless he’s gone back on his word, Cranston is one of the few actors who, after throwing a fit about Trump running for President, was gracious enough to publicly say, once Trump won, that he was going to make the best of it, and settled right down. Unlike 99% of Hollywood, who are still trying to figure out how to knock trump off, and crown Hillary President. He is a really great actor, and that’s high praise from me, since I think acting is often one of the seediest professions on earth.
The kid with CP that played his son in BB was a LOUSY actor, so there’s that too...
