Samuel L. Jackson doesn't like black British actors being cast in American films
  • 7 years ago
Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most well-known and well-respected black actors in the world but he has some issues with the casting of some black British actors. Jackson was recently on Hot 97 and was discussing Daniel Kaluuya, a black British actor, in the lead role for "Get Out." “There are a lot of black British actors in these movies. I tend to wonder what that movie [Get Out] would have been with an American brother who really feels that.” “What would a brother from America have made of that role? Some things are universal, but not everything.” The comments have already stirred up controversy, with John Boyega, another black British actor known for his role as Finn in "Star Wars," taking to Twitter to express his displeasure.
