I liked Ron Perlman but he's dead to me after what he said about John Oliver asking Dustin Hoffman about the sexual harassment allegations against him.

That's a broad question that can't be answered without more details. It's entirely dependent on the project. It's really important for actors to play awful people sometimes (topher grace as david duke in BlacKkKlansmen, Jason Ritter as the child abuser in The Tale, etc), but it's only worth it if the film has a worthy message and is capable of conveying the message in a responsible way - rather than quentin tarantino characters who just exist because he wants to write the "n" word.

It kind of reminds me of a story Bill Mosely told once about working on White Fang. That he asked James Remar how he handles playing characters like his character in that. Apparently James told him it's that so people recognize that the villains are wrong.

It's the biggest platform he has atm and it shows how compassionate he is to the subject. All it does is show what a decent guy he is. Your average white person wouldn't give a fuck about opinions

I agree. Maybe because I just watched Hidden Figures but I couldn’t imagine all the white actoes going to Twitter asking if they should play the meanie racists. Idk it feels a little off to me. Hopefully he has good intentions...

We continually ask people to learn and teach themselves. I’d rather not make fun of someone for trying to do so.

I don't think Twitter is the best place for this discussion but it's really interesting for Vincent to start it. I've always wondered an actor's thought process when it comes to roles like this.



I like Carl Weathers' response.

If it's a series then I say skip it. Every single long running series ends up redeeming their villains if they're regular. Characters start out as killers, rapists, racists etc, but by season three or whatever they're romancing the lead or they've been redeemed in some way. It's really gross, especially because of all the time I've seen fandom hand wave the violence away and not in a "well that was early in the series and it's hard to write someone as a straight up villain every ep once you start getting into the double digits" but in a way where they just straight up justify the violence/abuse in past episodes.

This. For a TV show, all you have is the script for the pilot. I think you'd have to have incredible faith in the writers/producers and the network to take that chance because you don't have any idea how the story will develop over time.

Good point, keeping a villain villainy for hundred hours of episodes is tough; turning them around/redeeming them is usually down badly.

I feel like I read an article (quite possibly posted on ontd) about Leo feeling uneasy about his dialogue and sam L. Was just like - bro it’s just another day for us.





Shut it, Richard M. Bucke.





Also I wouldn’t take Vincent donifrio as someone who gives a fuck. Hm!



I feel like Vincent answered his own question.

I can understand not wanting to put yourself in that character for an extended amount of time. Also, idk if he has revealed what the point/message of the movie is or how the character is written and that makes a big diff.

I guess it's all about context and how the character's presented and everything, but I like that actors are actually asking these questions. In Sane World I'd say there's nothing wrong with playing horrible people in order to tell a meaningful story, etc., but we're living in Crazy World rn and we need to reevaluate what we're saying with art.
