Psst -

It can be all that AND Hollywood being racist.

How many times have they tried to push a samefaced white man onto us.

And it's not like leading men who wear lifts are exactly unknown.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be one or the other.

+1.

I don't keep up with any actor news but if he isn't being pushed everywhere like every samey white-male lead is after a big role then racism is going to be a factor in that.

MTE. And many of them have no acting talent whatsoever.

You're right, it could very well be. But the actor himself cited racism specifically and didn't acknowledge any other possibilities for why he's not a huge star yet.

Based on a Disney-label (as opposed to Marvel or Star Wars, which are Disney-owned but have a different branding and PR cycle) live action movie? Not all that often in the current remake cycle. Male Disney movie leads who aren't already well known for other things tend to wind up being the guy you might recognize if he shows up in something else.

Disney's tv channel is known for being a career launcher, and VAs and animators can get some serious mileage out of being in one of the animated films, but the current live action stuff, not so much.

Yeah, I'm not sure why we have to choose either/or here.

Samuel L. Jackson once said something about how there are people in Hollywood whose job it is to basically ask "How many explosions are there in this movie? Are there boobs?" The conclusion is that Hollywood is incredibly shallow as well as still prejudiced every which way, so when you wonder why they aren't making more movies about X or why so-and-so isn't getting more work, there's your answer: there will be people involved in the process somewhere who are more concerned with counting the explosions.
