Why are so many ENGLISH actors taking roles from american actors?

[steadyrighteous]

I would also contend, the transformative aspect of the audition process probably works to benefit British actors too. Hear me out:

Actor A, an American walks in to play let's say a cop. He comes in the room, says "Hey how are you guys doing, I'm A" then starts reading the lines. His voice doesn't change, he just sounds deeper or more gravely.

Actor B, a British guy walks in for the same part. Comes in the room, says "Hello I am B" then starts reading the lines. His accent changes as well as his voice. It's probably jarring to hear someone "turn it on" so to speak and it feels like he's doing more, when maybe he isn't.

There's a clear distinction between the guy who walked in and the character he's playing, because it really feels like you've just seen two different people, when A walked in it might just feel like he's reading lines and didn't transform.

Just playing devils advocate. I still think British actors just take the craft more seriously as a whole, but not that simply any British actor is better than any American.

You got that I was mad from a joke I made?

And why, of all people, would I be mad? Surely seeing people from the same areas and backgrounds as me doing big things would be a source of inspiration, no?

but more so now.

star wars = one of the biggest movies of the year, American production, but both lead roles were English.

black panther has also casted a lot of English actors due to americans unable to do the accents.

receipts?

Think about. How many male American stars got their big break in the last 5 years?

Word. Everyone I think of ends up being from across the pond. The real question now is, what great American actors are around today?

maybe this is why hollywood movies are making less and less money in the US, while tv is picking up more and more steam

You got numbers for this? I thought tv was dying

I don't know too much about it, but I did read that the overall summer box office numbers were disappointing.

I thought actors pretended to be someone they're not.

White Americans did it for decades going back to white people dressing in up black face.
