Like we haven't had American black men and women play Africans :beli:

actors act, breh

And Africans have every right to be disgruntled because of that fact. But since that white boy decreed that all negras are the same regardless of location/culture/religion/ideology/phenotype/bloodline/etc, yall sick and dumb enough to agree with it…. even though the so called diaspora tells nikkas otherwise

Good looking movie. Some of those British actors are really good. Only one I don't care for is Cynthia Ervo.

it helps that he is fine too:shaq:

You ever hear Americans or non Jamaicans do that accent justice?

That situation is acceptable because you need to get the language right to be believable as an actor.

When Idris auditioned for The Wire they didn't want any foreign actors but he hid his accent so well no one knew he wasn't American. He made them believe he was.

Don Cheadle is an amazing actor but watch him in a role where he does a British accent. It's terrible so you can't even get into his character fully because he sounds so bad. That still comes down to acting.


the thing is, he only sought out jamaicans for the role. he didnt give other black actors a chance to be terrible. if the issue is let the best actor get the role, then why close out potential? im sure theres a lot of unknown actors that can really suprise you. i mean its a bit ironic that he would do that, but before was saying that he should be able to do any role

you sure they didnt want any foriegn actors? because dominic west is a brit

In Nollywood?
:usure:
Sigh

Yes no name American actors have appeared in Nollywood

Actual actors do not associate with nollywood because nollywood has no quality control and therefore they will be typecast/lowballed for future projects

Yes you can find American amateur actors in nollywood films on YouTube and No I'm not searching the millions of vids to find them for you but il show u the link to when Nia Long cosplayed as a yoruba woman if u like

Hollywood doesn't give a damn about logic, rhyme or reason. It's just "act in my movie fakkit" word to CL Smooth :francis:

“PG”

No… you gave me an opinion, not facts… See, the fact you think you’re qualified as an African living in Canada to have authority over how black Americans should feel how our historical storyline should be depicted is disrespectful….. and implies an air of superiority like that nikka hating cracker yall yearn to be adjacent to
what historical figure is this movie based off?

anyways, this is a Hollywood production, they can hire who they want like they did all those black american actors who played african historical figures

their money, their rules. tell your lots of fba billlionaires who can start their own studios and distributions
