pressxtodavid: blackasacrow: Looks like you guys can’t use the “well they can’t say no to a role” excuse when it comes to Hollywood’s tendency to whitewash characters. Skrein’s not even A List. Dude was mostly straight to DVD til Deadpool launched him. He honestly has the ‘I can’t turn down this gig’ excuse, like the role could have done great things for his career. And yet dude listened to the issue, realised it WAS an issue, and not only made the conscious choice to step down, but spoke openly about the importance of the situation and, in a very gracious way, is effectively forcing Lionsgate into casting race-appropriately. Dude has shown more class than many actors who actually had the fame and fortune to comfortably do something like this, yet never did. This is how you ally. -- source link
