![]() So if you have a Jewish or an Indian or a Japanese role, and you cast generally - the pool of jobs that Jewish and Indian and Japanese actors in Hollywood would seriously be considered for diminishes. Those roles almost always go to the white leading man/woman. Hollywood (generally speaking) doesn’t consider minority actors for the general “doesn’t have a set ethnicity” role. Cast whoever - but statistically, it’ll likely go to someone Caucasian.īut if you have a role that is specifically for a character that is explicitly a minority of some kind - by casting without taking that minority into account the pool of jobs that minority actors will be considered for becomes considerably smaller. By which I mean - if you have a role that can be filled by anyone and it was written with no particular ethnicity or whatever in mind. I think it’s less about authenticity and staying true to the original character (though I do think at least a base effort should be made) - but for me, it’s more about the job opportunity that is created by casting “accurately”. ![]()
