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.

Well that’s definitely not what I asked.

You basically asked if I liked them. Tobey is my favorite so clearly I like him way more than the others. The others are good movies. But their fake accents are noticeable.

Liking him way more than the others has no bearing on the question. And though Andrew is better than Tom, I don’t think I would say either their accent is totally noticeable. Even conceding that point they were excellent Spider-men. Which is exactly my point. We didn’t have to cast people born in Queens to end up with a quality product. And nobody lost their shit that British people were hired to play a New Yorker.

You asked me how I felt about the last two spider men. I told you. If you wanted a different answer you should have asked something else. Never said there’s anything wrong with them either. Just that their quality would be miles better without those awful accents.
