Could Hitler be played by a black actor?

[woofgang]

ha ha Jack I beat you to it

[dave50]

Yes as long as a white actress was allowed to play the part of a black character from history.

[Mamyalynne]

You both beat me, I stopped just in time.

Re the question, read the linked thread as I shan't repeat myself.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah coz she liked black

black dye was v v expensive 1520s
but it went out of fashion hur hur hur

[dannyk13]

As many white actors have played Othello no reason why a black actress shouldn't play Anne Boleyn.

[Theblip]

Interesting argument, does that mean she could get away with “whiting up”?

//Could Hitler be played by a black actor?//

or - - - Mao tse tung by a sarf american ?

[Peter Pedant]

Dangnabit, woofgang......!!! :o)

//What’s your opinion? ///
My opinion is that you are somewhat late in stirring the pot.....and that you would be well-served to read through the thread I have brought to your attention....[ignore woofgang's contribution, it's inferior to mine. :op] where all of the questions you and others will pose were asked and answered.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah this is a serious fred like all of TTTs
yeah yeah I know that this isnt one
but serious it is - - - honest

but hey how many on AB will notice any of that ?

and so I plead ......( or )introduce the play - the deff of Marie Antoinette (*)
the only problem is - consent from the starlet s to having their heads cut off

Imagine it dear reader - "play postponed as the supply of Marie Antoinettes dries up" - the star strangled banner - the theatre rag of London Covent Garding.
director says " I am stumped by this"
or - - actresses in flight to russia ( at least they shot the royal family the sister of the king sniffed )
" we must stop the haemorrage of actresses to the St Petersburg Maryiisnki " - diaghilev latest

the mind boggles and if it doesnt have another swiggette
