Actors who can play multiple ethnicities

[Milk N Cookies]

The Rock of course

Has the Rock ever had a "black" child in any of his movies....even though his daddy a nikka

I mentioned this in the other thread when the Rock was called out for not playing black roles. In his first few movies he played at least 1/2 black.
I know in Gridiron Gang his mom was black. And I know in another one of his earlier movies he had a black parent. I just cAnt believe he doesn't anymore. Why?

 

[Milk N Cookies]

No he hasn't. I saw San andreas and was like "why he always have to play a white dude with white kids?"

Just seeing this & am heart broken that he white washed himself...

But add Christina Milian to the list, she'll take Spanish & Italian before she'll play a black girl.

I can't remember what movie, but I remember in 1 movie he did have a black daughter(s).


EDIT:
It might've been "G.I. Joe: Retaliation". He was from a black neighborhood in that movie.

[Silver Surfer]

I like the Rock...but he has to have more say in these castings.....I mean damn...its like nothing of his characters life reference a black person...oh well

I don't really think it's their choice. They're, particularly Milian, taking the options they have. Hollywood isn't exactly coming up with millions of scripts around Black characters.

Christian Bale and joel edgerton

Yep
Jessica Alba too

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]

Russell Crowe and Angelina Jolie

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

that moment when you realize an actor is a beast

More like the moment you realize Hollywood is too lazy to actually find an actor who is the nationality of the actual character.

 

[Uno]

Yep
Jessica Alba too

Jessica Alba is white and Mexican, why should she play black?

 

[Silver Surfer]

Jessica Alba is white and Mexican, why should she play black?

she is mixed

 

[satam55]

Jessica Alba is white and Mexican, why should she play black?

She's always looked racially-ambiguous. She can definitely pass for a mixed-black.

He did in GI Joe

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Ol girl from Orphan Black.

That she doesn't have an Emmy is a travesty.
