[quote=Anonymous]I see Maher point. They’re actors and should be able to play any character but his argument is too simple and doesn’t address other issues about the number of roles for under-represented groups. Currently, I’m watching The Sandman on Netflix. The author of The Sandman comics worked on the Netflix series. They changed the gender and race of numerous characters and it is fabulous! I love the original comic but I also love the tv series. The Watchmen on HBO also did a major re-writing of the original. I think it is very important to have more inclusive characters in plots so that we can move beyond the Maher argument. Actors have become sensitive to casting because there has always been an abundance of roles for white, straight male actors. While everyone else fought over scraps. I would love to see more race/gender/ethnicity/sexuality blind casting.[/quote]
