The money quote
"Asked why British actors were so successful in the States, he said: 'They're cheaper than us, for a start. They don't cost as much.' "
Hollywood actor complains because immigrant workers are undercutting local workers and stealing their jobs.
They don't do irony in Hollywood do they?

Don’t release any Sammy Mule Jackass movies in the UK because no one there will understand them, especially black Brits.

I understand that they’re being hired because they are conscientious, they know their lines, they’re cooperative, and they show up on the set on time.

Like taking a half-black man who was raised as a suburban white kid and then an Indonesian Muslim and portraying him as an authentic African-American with all the ghetto and “descendant of slaves” cred imputed to him?

Hey sammy, baby.
The MoFos (put that in for you since you haven’t had 2 lines of dialog without MF in it ever) don’t need to UNDERSTAND the role.
Just PERFORM it.
You know, ‘cause that is what actors get paid to do.
Not that you have any connection whatsoever to the ‘hood except in your imagination.

Guess what Mr. Jackson, acting is something the English do very well, and they take their craft very seriously.
