I would hate being an upcoming ADOS actor:francis:

The Brits only get the roles because they’re cheaper than ADOS actors and are just happy to be here, safe negroes.

They literally came here and destroyed the market for us.

Only way it’ll stop is if we stop supporting it, but too many nikkas is caught up in that “we all black” bullshyt.

:francis: And there's your problem. You don't even know your own history. Your opinion on ados and our concerns is likely equally uninformed.

Going forward, if you don't understand why ppl feel strongly about a certain development, you should probably just ask. :ld:

And find out where your ppl from, breh. :therethere:

They're scabs, white British actors too. Hollywood ain't trynna pay Sam Jackson/ Denzel rates during the era of streaming.

The "we all black" shyt was a very sneaky trojan horse.

At first i was not convinced that Hollywood seems to have a hard on for black UK actors and i'm not ADOS but this some eybrow shyt..You cant tell me there was no AA actress good enough to play the part of NJ hood girl turned international icon. I would like to hear the rationale behind this one..

This is happening in all of Hollywood

one of my favorite characters recently is “Homelander” From the series “The Boys” is a character that represents the veneer of America and all its toxicness . He’s played by a Kiwi (New Zealander) and he absolutely does a great job.

it’s so many layers to this that I don’t even know where to start.

Some reasons I agree with: Foreign actors are by and large trained thespians and grow up being groomed to take the art of the craft seriously.

we need more funding in America, especially in impoverished communities For the arts to be cultivated and taken seriously. Kids in The UK are learning And doing Shakespeare at 9 years old.

I don’t agree with lowballing American actors who are qualified and running to get a foreign actor for cheap when the American wants more money.

but now we are talking about the Business of Capitalism :yeshrug:

* I know and have worked with many actors that can turn an American accent on and off between takes and it never ceases to impress me.

If I was a world famous celebrity. I would give my movie rights to someone like Spike Lee. So, no shyt like this could happen. :yeshrug:

Hollywood CAC are terrible at casting Black biopics.

I like Chadwick Boseman and he was FBA. But he had no business playing James Brown. That movie was terrible. :hhh:

That editing style was all over the place.
