Two words, Eric Estrada.
The CD can suggest the race and sex but the writers and producers determine the age/race/sex of each character. Many times the network or studio will interfere and make their demands. It can be quite frustrating when characters change at the last minute.
You hit it on the nail. BTW, Dancing With The Stars just fired their long time hosts, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. Hmmm.....let me guess the makeup of the new hosts.
nope, nope,.....
I worked with an actor who changed his name back to his legal Hispanic name years ago.
Exactly. The new hosts will both be black (or one black and one hispanic). Bet the ratings will be terrible.
F'em!, he goes into the list of if he's in it I'm not watching/supporting it. He's one of the subtle racists that lie to themselves about being racist...........he's and actor!
I met him at long ago DragonCon.
Seemed nice enough.
Good God...yet another victim’s tale.Here’s a quarter,Pedro...call someone who cares!
Who talks like this? Is this woke-speak?
Now, dont be so hard on the boy. He probably worked on that tweet for a week. You know, referencing every special touchstone of woke emotion. His friends are probably so proud.
What about his friends of no color?
Well, thanks for not actually mentioning his name, otherwise we would have known whom you were talking about, and maybe cared.
Regards,
His name is irrelevant.
He thinks hes special.
Frances Ethel Gumm, Archibald Leach, Norma Jean Mortenson and Marion Michael Morrison all changed their Northwestern European names for more marketable Northwestern European names when they entered the Hollywood business.
(Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne.)
Don’t forget Bernie Schwartz (Tony Curtis), Nathan Birnbaum (George Burns) Albert Einstein (Albert Brooks), Krishna Pandit Bhanji (Ben Kingsley) and lord knows how many others changed their names when they entered show business.
Same happened with the black hot chick, tough lieutenant, in Firefly.
Although being hispanic, she could not get casted as hispanic or roles as a latina, so she had to suppress being hispanic and act black in order to get roles.
I didnt forget; but Jewish actors changed their names for different reasons to create more acceptance from white audiencesthe same thing Rodriguez did.
My post, by contrast, was about people with English names selecting better English names for show bizno racial component to their decision.
You look like a Mexican as Micheal Jackson in his later year looked black.
On a side note, if you have Amazon Prime, watch for free 'Square One' about the Jackson child molestation trials. It looks like all 5 of them were all extrotion rackets.
