    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?
