portenopote, Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams were working on the same project, under the same circumstances. Aaron Tveit and Leslie Odom, Jr were not. Odom should not have compared himself to Tveit here. No actor has been paid for a broadcast in theaters (which was the original intention) or a cable presentation (which was the Covid-fueled result) what he or she would have been paid to do had their project been aired (and aired live at that) on network television. Not to mention that he apparently held Lin Manuel and the rest of the company in limbo before he committed to joining them for the taping.
This isn't a case of pearl clutching on the part of people calling him out for it, and it isn't a case of him being victimized because of race. It's a case of an actor's ego getting out of hand.
I love Leslie, but his "white boy" comment cast an ugly shadow on an argument that was already way off base. |
