Do you have to be a pedophile to play MJ? No, but you have to be Black.
I find that, in this instance, the stance that R3 must be played by an actor with a physical disability a little reductive, but not nearly reductive as the Globe’s response that any actor should play any role. Are they prepping for a white face “Othello”? I think they know better, and they’re rather skirting the issue on this one by bombastically going to that extreme. |
