[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the point that under-represented actors generally should get the roles playing members of their community. But honestly I’m not sure who would be better for Castro. Franco is a good actor, he looks strikingly like him, Cuban-Americans don’t want the role because they hate Castro, Castro was predominantly European background so it’s not a cross-racial casting, Italians and Latinos have long been cross-cast (see, eg, Andy garcia’s career playing siciilians), and this projecti s actually dominated by Latinos behind and in front of the camera. Anyone have a better suggestion for Castro? Cause it’s not Leguizamo. Tthere are Latinos of all races, so the cross-racial casting stuff becomes complicated. (I think some people objected to salma Hayek playing frida kahlo as salma’s ethnic background is Lebanese, not mestizo.). [/quote]
