Re: Worst fancasting you've seen?

[(Anonymous)]

They are what Johnny Depp was a few years ago. People cast him as everyone and their dog as well. And right now, they always cast Idris Elba as the "token black guy" in everything.

And Lucy Liu as their token female!

And if not Lucy Liu, they cast Gina Torres or Jennifer Lawrence.

ayrt

haha, that's probably a pretty apt comparison. I saw it a lot with Orlando Bloom back in the day as well (you know, when people almost always made photoshopped banners with pictures of fancasted authors to go with all their fanfics). The Idris Elba thing makes me roll my eyes a bit as well. I like the guy well enough, but come on. I know there aren't as many black actors as there should be but there's enough that there's no reason not to be a little bit creative.

I think the Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp phase overlapped a bit because of PotC. But oh dear, all the bad photoshop X'''D

I love it the most when they pretend they're so very, very inclusive and progressive by casting Idris Elba in roles that would be white (or not-black) in the original canon. They probably don't mean anything by it, but it always looks a bit like "Look! I chose the only black actor I know as the fancast for this not-black character, I'm so progressive!".

The thing I don't understand is why they can't broaden out to some of the other black actors from The Wire.

Give Bunk or Lester Freamon or Omar a chance in your fancasts! It's not all about Stringer.
