| But there are SOOOOOOOOOO many straight characters, and relatively few openly gay characters. And the reality is that a lot of openly gay actors are not given the chance to play straight characters, and there are certainly some who, incredible actors as they are, aren't going to pass in a movie as straight. So why not, at this point in time, give a chance to an out gay actor to play an out gay person especially on a global stage in a high profile film? It's not WRONG for him to cast a straight person like Corden, but it's a sad and ENORMOUS missed opportunity for Murphy to support and expose a gay actor, and a potentially life-changing opportunity that has not been given to a gay actor (already famous or relatively unknown, like Brooks himself). |
