So The Guy Who Plays Lamar Off BMF Tv Show Is A British Actor

[Juven]

There plenty of ados young actors that could play those roles

British actors arent anything special

If u got to come to america and cosplay another ethnicity it makes no sense to not give the same ethnicity oppourtunites where 37 million live in that country.


This is intentional and blatant hate of ados

We gotta stop being racist and let people eat

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Yall nikkas full of shyt
Would be up in here (rightfully) crying racism if it was any other field saying American Black people weren't good enough

Yall don't know the acting ability of American Black people who didn't get hired for that role to say they weren't good enough

All we do know is that you have a lot of British people getting roles
And I bet bias does play a big part in it
Walk in with a British accent, switch up, and the casting director goes
Like that scene in the first episode of High Maintenance

A few people, like Ava Duvernay, started saying British actors are just better and yall just ran with it

Got nikkas in here talking about Shakespeare and fukking theater for some shyt like BMF

fukk yall nikkas
We will never win in this country, or anywhere else, because nikkas will not support their own no matter what

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Man,I was watching this show called Thorne and had no idea most of the cast were foreigners

Best person is getting the role. They’re getting pumped out of acting schools, whereas many American actors aren’t. These dudes spend years doing theatre too, another step American actors often overlook or skip. Their dramatic chops are simply better.

Actors act. This idea you have to be from a culture to play that culture is dumb.

You would think that American actors would go back to the basics of theater work, Its like folks play the game over here, while overseas bruvs do the work and end up getting called into this country to save time and space

Its weird as all hell

White actors too.

Hugh Laurie as Dr. House.
Damian Lewis in Homeland.
Stephen Graham in Boardwalk Empire.

The get the accent down surprisingly well.

 

[The God Poster]

Y’all further show how weird y’all are

I have no problem with brehs getting jobs regardless if they foreign or not

Unless the specific actor has said negative comments about African Americans let him live

A lot of y’all stay in a woe is me, need to feel victimized & in despair mindset

Shyts pathetic

British actors are better trained including the white actors

I heard this and idk..

Maybe the uk actors play the game better, have better management/talent scouts. And in auditions stand out more

I disagree a lot of the black actors that you see in america especially the younger actors are from poor backgrounds, whilst a lot of the white British actors are from priveledged backgrounds. So I can agree for the white actors better management.

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Didn't know that

I remember the interview he did on The Real and how he was able to easily switch from his British accent to an American accent. Dude's talented though.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

That shyt will always bother me because it's so many nikkas here that ain't getting chances

May the best man win when it comes to these roles. You want the show to pop off so you find the best people. And it’s not like these shows are filled with Brits. It’s one person here and there in casts packed with Americans.

a lot of actors here simply need to step their game up and have a theater background because it really helps. There’s a ton of opportunities doing off broadway stuff and these cats aren’t taking advantage of it. So they can’t feel any kind of way when UK breh nail the audition

 

[Heretic]

I wasn't actually surprised to find out String was a British actor....... Prop Joe being portrayed by a British actor was kind of a surprise though....

he was from Baltimore

The pure ignorance in this post.

You mad about facts? It's a fact that Brit actors staying coming here and taking over. Spider Man is being played by a dude from fukking London.

 

[King]

According to who

you literally just typed that.

According to the over representation of black British actors.

But let me guess, you don’t give a fukk and are somewhat personally offended because you’re a Jamaican Canadian

There is zero facts about the ignorant shyt you typed.

You clearly doesn't know shyt about the American theater industry.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

This isn’t unique to Black roles. British actors have always played Americans - in abundance

I suppose it’s more highlighted given the content we watch as well as fewer lead roles
