Reply #34: Every single black/asian/hispanic actress...and Adrien Brody.

I have all sorts of nastiness and vitriol for this topic, LOL, but I'll just say that it is a disgusting shame that all roles are not open to actors of all races. They still actually cast for "White Female, 20s" when the part does not require it, for example. And hip hop artists get acting roles that *real* actors wouldn't even be looked at for.

I'll leave it at that, but I get spitting mad when I think about it.

Also...

:loveya:

Adrien Brody is such a good actor--and granted, he's got an Oscar, but I think he's woefully underappreciated. Hopefully King Kong will change that. He's got a natural style that is just so refreshing and exciting... and I'm not saying that because we're going to get married.

And also, Shah Rukh Khan, but whatever.
