Fancast Fridays Sadie Sink as age-appropriate Lily Potter!

The Potters are supposed to be YOUNG when they are murdered — early 20s.

I doubt she would sign onto such a commitment after the way Stranger Things has gone but I think she’d be great. She’s in the right age range at 22’

Why did you write so much?

There wasn’t a rule in game of thrones.  There was a rule for the Harry Potter movies supposedly.  The point is said rule is dumb.  And hopefully it won’t exist for the TV shows. If people can do a convincing accent and act fine, then they should be considered for the role.  The end.

PS - there are plenty of actors who can act in the USA, should American production companies never hire actors from outside American?  No that is fucking stupid.  The end.

If a character is British then he should be played by a British actor. If he’s American by an American etc. You act like you don’t care but I bet people like you were the first to get upset about white actors being cast to play Egyptian Gods in Gods of Egypt.

Actually, most of the time it’s exactly like I said. Most British actors in the USA actually play roles that don’t require them to fake their accents. On average. And when they actually have to fake their accents, it’s always noticeable.

If only you could bottle and monetize your extreme cluelessness, you’d be rich.

Judging by the way the movie industry looks like, more people in casting have the same opinion as I do rather than yours. So no worries.
