      You’re right. We should absolutely, not once, not ever, have a person who doesn’t perfectly, down to the finest detail, match the description of the character they are depicting act for that role.

      I saw a local stage play of madame web where a woman played a male character. It literally wasn’t even a distraction and they sold the character well.

          Commenter sounds like they would complain about Arial being black because her original character was white.

          You really wanna defend that?

      How do you act as anyone else ever? Unless you are a genetic clone of the person you must not be allowed to act!
