Samuel L Jackson has criticised the casting of black British actors in roles about American race relations.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BRV_tqxlLso
In an interview with the New York radio station Hot 97, Jackson suggested that Jordan Peele?s satirical horror film Get Out, which starred British actor Daniel Kaluuya as an African-American man falling victim to white liberal racism, could have benefited from having an American actor as its lead.
?There are a lot of black British actors in these movies,? Jackson said. ?I tend to wonder what that movie [Get Out] would have been with an American brother who really feels that.
?Daniel grew up in a country where they?ve been interracial dating for a hundred years,? he said. ?What would a brother from America have made of that role? Some things are universal, but [not everything].?
Jackson also pointed to Ava DuVernay?s historical drama Selma, which cast David Oyelowo in the role of Martin Luther King, as another example. ?There are some brothers in America who could have been in that movie who would have had a different idea about how King thinks,? he said.
Asked why so many British black actors are cast in American roles, Jackson replied: ?They?re cheaper than us, for one thing. They don?t cost as much. And they [casting agents and directors] think they?re better trained, because they?re classically trained.?
DuVernay herself has indicated that the stage backgrounds of many British actors is one reason for their success in attaining US roles. ?I think there?s something about the stage, because they have that stage preparation,? she told Buzzfeed in 2013. ?Their work is really steeped in theatre. Our system of creating actors is a lot more commercial.?
Jackson?s comments were denounced on Twitter by British Star Wars actor John Boyega, who wrote: ?Black brits vs African American. A stupid ass conflict we don?t have time for.?
In an interview with the Observer, Peele admitted that he didn?t originally want to cast a British actor in the lead ?because this movie was so much about representation of the African-American experience?.
However, Peele said that a Skype session with Kaluuya allayed his concerns. ?Once I?d wrapped my head around how universal these themes were, it became easy for me to pick Daniel, because at the end of the day, he was the best person for the role. He did the audition and it was a slam dunk.?

wtf :usureuok:
I don't understand why he's not happy that we're ALL doing well in an industry that clearly doesn't care to represent us.
come the fuck thru Samuel
loved a time to kill btw
Stupid.
QuoteDaniel grew up in a country where they?ve been interracial dating for a hundred years,? he said. ?What would a brother from America have made of that role? Some things are universa
Black British actors face the same obstacle AA actors face as far as limited roles, typecasting and lack of jobs, and projects where blacks aren't even needed.
And Britain has been interacially mixed as long as America has, in fact America has been interracially mixed longer :uhh:
So what is he talking about? Because they don't live through the exact same scenarios? Or because they can't relate to the struggle?
The struggle for blacks is the same worldwide
Wherever black people are in a minority, they are not in power.
In fact AA actors get way more opportunities, why does he think all the Black British actors are flocking over there :dead: :uhh:
Does he think Britain is some kind of garden of eden? :dead:

!!! And he's ones of my favourite actors but this logic is disappointing.
Now it's not the time to divide black actors and actresses especially when there are already few black projects being developed.
So black brits don't deal with the same mess black americans do?
I didn't realize he was so damn stupid.
Hmm I dont agree with this. Not sure what the climate is like in the UK so I can't say. He has an assumption- which a lot of people share- I just think it comes off as ignorant when you dismiss someone else's plight without the facts.

This wasn't a good look Sam
One race hun ..
Let's not be crabs in a barrel
^o) Samuel..
I think for Black Brits to make in the American market, I'm sure it's tough.
I love King, but I can't agree with him here.
So now he ain't black enough or doesn't quite understand it cause he isn't American :dead:
Niggas will find a way to be upset about ANY damn thing
They're called actors for a reason.
As illustrated by many of your posts
bottom line is...AFRICANS and BLACK BRITISH arent american
so having them portray black americans is a disservice
and also another form of discrimination against blacks especially for awards and stuff
black skin isnt the same as black american sorry
and the distinction needs to be made

Depending on what the conversation is. U try to speak on shit that and don't know wtf ur talking about, or try to give an opinion as a German and are completely off base. This is about race. The name of the movie wasn't racism (as it pertains to African Americans). And prejudices and discrimination arent some exclusively African American thing anyway, so his point was stupid

Well obviosuly because I don't aim for an American mess, I just let it flow. But if I HAD to. If I was acting, it would not be that difficult. Wes doesn't speak American in his private life, neither does Idris and neither must I.

very Tru I belive they have a grievance as well
but notice they arent as applauded for their portrayals as africans and brittans of americans
and i dont like it
I think I see his point but it wasn't articulated well and I don't agree anyway. Acting is all about telling someone else's truth and stepping into their shoes. What did he know about some of the people he's played? :dead:
Didn't know oppression was a competition with blacks too.

So you don't like the fact the African American actors don't get their props for playing African characters, but agree with Samuel that Black British actors shouldn't be playing African American roles because they "can't relate"?

part of that truth is in the casting
which typically is very specific to the kind of character needed
if its a midget you get one
if its a white girl you get on
if its a aa male u get one
if its a british male u get one
just like zoe soldana playing nina simone
like girl bye with that casting
He's bitching for no reason
And he's probably dealt with worse racism being a black man in europe of all places...
He's basically upset Black British actors are upstaging African American ones.
Some African Americans love to believe the black struggle is their's and only their's
Go to Europe where in certain places footballers are STILL having to go through people throwing banana's at them at football matches and chanting monkey noises, go the BRAZIL, fuck go to South Africa where blacks are still higher in population but STILL being oppressed by white South Africans.
I'd expect a dummy white actor to say this, not Samuel.

Okay but african americans arent traveling to Europe to pick up roles they are coming here because this is the land of opportunity and its that way due to the free labor that established it with black americans at the helm
My belief is if your talent is really that great and you have raw grit to make it you dont have to travel overseas and perch in another country to book
cause if a black american actor and or singer did that its considered as if they cant make it here so they have to run and rely on overseas success well same principle applies to the brittans
furthermore
Racism and sexism and oppression exists everywhere
but trading out one white man for another and trying to move in on black americans while your traveling to benefit on what they have built because a nother white man says you can doesnt sit well with me or anyone who understands the sentiment
like i said they are being used to block black americans from jobs and accolades

Simple.
And his dumb ass shouldn't be attacking his fellow black actors simple because they aren't American, he should be attacking the industry as to why there are few roles Black major roles to begin with.

It may be but the stigma is still there especially with singers
coming here because they had a rough time in their own country getting noticed
nearly not even the same thing
bye lew
lew Hollywood is the pinnacle of Western film. Obviously only the best of the best in their respective home nations would be at odds to break through in the States and not the other way around.

He's basically upset Black British actors are upstaging African American ones.
African Americans love to believe the black struggle is there's and ONLY there's
Go to Europe where in certain places footballers are STILL having to go through people throwing banana's at them at football matches and chanting monkey noises, go the BRAZIL, fuck go to South Africa where blacks are still higher in population but STILL being oppressed by white South Africans.
I'd expect a dummy white actor to say this, not Samuel.
My belief is if your talent is really that great and you have raw grit to make it you dont have to travel overseas and perch in another country to book
well your belief is wrong.
Simple.
And his dumb ass shouldn't be attacking his fellow black actors simple because they aren't American, he should be attacking the industry as to why there are few roles Black major roles to begin with.
to expound on your edit
Unity amongst all blacks
American brittish and african a like would be nice
but unfortunately when massa dangles stuff infront of blacks (awards, roles, opportunity) they quickly distance themselves from blacks cause massa is holding their bread and butter
now black americans are looking for anyone to be on their team so its not necessarily coming from their end but yeah

lew Hollywood is the pinnacle of Western film. Obviously only the best of the best in their respective home nations would be at odds to break through in the States and not the other way around.
