Why All the British actors end up taking American roles....

[GreenGhxst]

yea cuz he reminds them of

Eh

 

[ultraflexed]

They’re doing jobs Americans just wont do

What acting roles specifically are Americans turning down.

 

[ultraflexed]

Well would you look at that. All of these movies of ADOS portraying African and Caribbean people

Wanna hear Robert Townsend speak like a Jamaican?

All the ADOS playing Black and Caribbean people. Interesting

Those movies are for Americans made by Americans.
There not going to britian taking roles from british actors in films made in british.

Plus most of those movies are 20 plus years old, that's not happening like that anymore

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

You all honestly care if it’s a black Brit or American playing the role as long as the acting is good?

Most of you all didn’t even know particular actors were British until you saw an interview

 

[skokiaan]

If you need an "Act-toor" rather than a "Movie Star" the odds shift in the favoUr of classically trained Brits.

 

[kwazzy100]

All of these are american movies fukk boy

Why couldn't they get African actors to play African roles?

Jharell Jerome is Dominican

Chadwick Boseman... and he's the most talented of that bunch IMO.

Thank you for the add. Idk how I forgot to add him.

If you Yanks are complaining about us Brits taking Yank roles then come to the UK and secure some UK acting roles. Learn the multiple British accents (London ones, West Country, Brummie, Yorshire, East Midlands, Geordie, East Anglian, Scouse, Manc etc) and play a Mandem/Roadman. Or a British cop. Or a Hooligan. Or a Chip shop owner. Or a Kebab shop owner

While you're here in the UK, you yanks can learn some real culture:
Football (not Handegg)
Proper beer not the shyt you guys drink.
Football anthems
Fish and Chips
Going out then getting a Kebab
Full English Breakfast including Blood/Black Pudding

fukk outta here moe

Jordan Peele hires British actors to play Americans

[Rollo Goodlove]

Why couldn't they get African actors to play African roles?

Stfu bytch

 

[Low End Derrick]

yea cuz he reminds them of

he does huh?

 

[kingofnyc]

I gotcha but I ain't seeing the up and coming black American stars who killing shyt either. As I said in another thread you dam near rather be a social media comedian or a rapper because you will land more roles. But that's more on Hollywood not wanting to place budgets behind a lot of black dramas that could showcase range unless its yet another slave civil rights movie that can on a subtle level paint white folks in a new light.

We bytching and complaining but running right back to the same white institutions for opportunities. That is ass backwards

that’s what I’m talking about
if American black actors are basically on the same level as these non-American black actors : then why are they getting so much of our rolls

it gotta be some type a conspiracy behind this

 

[kingofnyc]

None of those actors you just mentioned are having their roles taken over by British actors.

Denzel, Sam, Morgan et al. all refined and mature actors. We’re talking about new up and coming actors. There is a pool of 20-35 year old (including Idris) black male and female actors and a few are British. I don’t know why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist.

Let’s not forgot that growing up in the U.K. pretty much makes your prior life non-existent & clean too, and British actors, as others have said are classically trained. This just doesn’t mean they’ve learnt to act but they also have learnt how to behave and are educated. An actor just does not perform scenes. It the ability to absorb characters, it’s the ability to speak to media, your colleagues/fans, etc. Studios consider this stuff as well.

Anthony Mackie, Michael B. Jordan = not a great

Donald Glover= great actor

Lakeith Standfield = bad comments and a bit of outrage. A bit weird, probably won’t get a massive title anymore.

If I was a studio, Daniel K and John B would be chosen over all of those actors above

I never said these Brit black actors are taking the rolls of Denzel, Morgan & Samuel

In my status remains the same these Brit black actors are basically on the same level as these black American actors

and you would have to be a fool to take Daniel K and John B over Anthony M and Michael B Jordan

And let’s keep it real these actors and not playing rolls which require great acting skills

I mean a nikka going to meet & spend a weekend with his white girlfriend crazy azz parents, and he winds up in the basement for like half of the movie isn’t spectacular or the other nikka who’s basically shook, scared and running for 2.5 hours on a galaxy far far away & is saved by some little azz white girl who’s trying to be the next jedi.... also doesn't take superior acting skill
