It's become this way with _everything._ I'm neither in acting, nor a man who is African American, but this feeling of not knowing the extent to which someone is unintentionally clueless or intentionally gaslighting is too familiar. In the hyper-postmodernism of today, not only has the representation replaced the reality it was supposed to point to, the reminder of an underlying reality has become an offense to the representation.

@castner5308 11 ай бұрын

I'm British and think it all comes down to statistics. We share a very western identity with America meaning it's easy for us to work alongside one another but, the UK's population and acting population are a fraction of Hollywood Americans. In this view, we're like the tasty syrup in a nice mug of coffee. Adding something extra to something already great and people drink it right up, hence why British actors will always find their way over. I honestly like the talent pool and relationship between our two countries. We DO work well together and I hope it never changes.

The irony of this from Peele after Sam Jackson's comments on Get Out's casting British actor Daniel Kaluuya. Why hasn't there been a Spiderman from New York? From Queens? Have they even tried? All those actors in New York and not one? Said it for years: British actors get extra credit & cast some type of spell over casting directors for speaking English in two accents.

@kassjazzy 11 ай бұрын

The average successful British actor: joins prestigious performing arts school as a child/teenager, receives years of classical training, including how to do those fake accents. Starts honing their craft via small TV and theatre roles. Eventually lands big role in show or movie but by this point already has YEARS of acting experience. The average successful American actor: I dropped out of school and moved to New York/Hollywood cos I wanted to be on Broadway/a movie star!😃
