Sarah Silverman called out Hollywood’s tendency to cast non-Jewish actors to play Jewish characters, referring to the practice as “Jewface.”
The comedian, 50, pointed to Kathryn Hahn as the most recent example after the Catholic-raised actress, 48, was tapped to portray the late Joan Rivers, who was Jewish, in an upcoming limited series.
“There’s this long tradition of non-Jews playing Jews, and not just playing people who happen to be Jewish but people whose Jewishness is their whole being,” Silverman said in Thursday’s episode of her eponymous podcast, adding, “One could argue, for instance, that a Gentile [a non-Jew] playing Joan Rivers correctly would be doing what is actually called ‘Jewface.'”

... And Susan Hayward played his Tartar Woman.
I feel this Tartar woman is for me, and my blood says, take her. There are moments for wisdom and moments when I listen to my blood; my blood says, take this Tartar woman.

it’s called ‘acting’, Sarah
a straight portraying a gay, or an actor portraying a murderer or a priest, is acting.
A gay, murderer or priest portraying themselves except with made up lines, is not acting.

Hollywood has a habit of assigning flaming Anti-American leftists to the roles of patriotic heroes, too.

Is Whoopi Goldberg a black comedian playing a Jew or a Jew playing a black comedian? Either way, it’s cultural misappropriation.lol

Eli Wallach was the bandito Calvera in “The Magnificent Seven” as well.
