Does he really not cast any ADOS leads? I haven't seen either film.

They talking like he's cast a bunch of flicks or something. There's only two flicks.

Get Out only had a $4.5 million budget. Peele discovered Kaluuya cause of a Black Mirror episode, he absolutely nailed that casting. Every other Black character in the flick is ADOS.

For Us he cast Lupita Nyong'o, who might be the best damn Black actress of her age out there right now yet had never been given a lead. She was due, and she carried the flick.

The dad was from the islands but grew up in New York and both the kids were ADOS.


It's another attempt at division, making shyt out of nothing. Other than the racists who da fukk is gonna hate on Kaluuya and Nyong'o getting their FIRST lead roles in a film and then nailing them?
