Yeah. It's obviously especially bad for non-white actors, but Hollywood has only a handful of even white actors that get cast in certain genres. For example, in action movies, you've got Scarlet Johansson or Jennifer Lawrence in leading action female roles, basically. There is such an obsession over booking actors with "star power" that new faces almost never get a try - hell, even if you're big name but haven't done a certain genre, you're probably not going to get cast.

I feel like this is changing - look at the guy they got for young Han Solo. Picked him over Teller, Fault in Our Stars guy, Franco the Lesser.

I feel like Star Wars is a bit of a special case because they always had a tendency to cast lesser known actors for the roles (which I greatly appreciate).
