In reply to tyty.

They cast him and a chinese actress as token diversity hires - it sounds bad to say but its true. This is why forced diversity never works - it doesnt please the diverse actors hired and it doesnt please the audience because they know it looks forced.

It would be like them rebooting/making a new sequel to Harry Potter (A direct sequel, not spin off) and forcing diversity in that in the leads. People dont want change as much as they call for it - this is why I always say stop treading on old ground (i.e star wars reboots, spin offs) and start making new stories/movies with accurate representation from the get go.

Its more evident when its plastered on a historically white franchise which is from the 80s 90s and 2000s. Suddently in 2015 new characters specificaly a black man and asian woman (who got bullied alot, not good)!are pushed as diversity hires and I understand his frustration.

Im not sure where his career is going but im sure his bank account is heavy so kudos to him - he won either way. I only recall him being in star wars and pacific rim and that wasnt good - so i’d be interested to see what happens next.

I’d like to see him follow the Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Black Panther) route because i really like his acting/role choices.

I would say hes more confident about speaking out becuase hes financially stable and its politically the climate to be talking about these issues and he has every right to.
