Casting call for NWA biopic demands that the beautiful black extras have light skintones, but the African-American types be "Poor, not in good shape. Medium to dark skin tone".
Makes me wonder how they search for some of the bullied kids in movies.
"You have to be very fat..."
Then they stick a candy bar in his hand, smear chocolate all over his face and tell him... "just act like your whole life's been shite. Eh, or, just stand there and take the abuse"
I forget who it was, but one of the current women on SNL told a story on a talk show about how she was cast as "the ugly girl" on some shit commercial where the idea was that all the boys were following her instead of the "pretty girl" because she had the product in her hands.
Part of me thinks it would be cool to make movies and TV, but then I hear stories like that...
