are passionate about minorities getting roles. I view acting as art which can be created equally by anyone in any role and sometimes convincingly, sometimes not so much. Movies may times are commercial art so sometimes it is not just capability but also drawing power that creates casting. I am a huge Richard Burton fan and although he is not Italian, his Mark Antony is entertaining. When I was in The Fantasticks and played the boy's father who was aged at least 30 years older than me, should the director have been called ageist and found an older person to play the role despite that I was effective in the part? Acting is convincing an audience you are the role you are cast in. If Gal Gadot does not play Cleopatra well, it won't be because she is not Egyptian, it will be because her talent wasn't up to the task. The same could happen to an Egyptian actress cast in the role. But all historical roles are not created equal...Robert Downey Jr. is not very likely going to portray Martin Luther King, Jr.Ā
