Det är kanske en tillfällighet ... men bra skådespelare är bra skådespelare. :)
Gale Ann Hurd var frågade om förekomsten av engelska / brittiska aktörer i Walking Dead och andra shows:
We asked Hurd why she thinks this keeps happening in American television and films – so many Brits/non-Americans playing these roles of Southerners – and she attributed it to open casting calls.
“When we do the casting, all of the auditions are posted on the website, and we don’t know necessarily where they’re from. So it’s completely equal opportunity. It just so happened that Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan and David Morrissey all are based in the U.K.”
Carlton Cuse om casting Bates Motel (andra kommentarer på den länken):
"We looked at a lot of actors, but the truth is, there currently seems to be a big gulf between Australian and British actors and American actors. The American actors just don't seem as well trained or as deep and complex."
Slutligen, från 2015 skyddsartikel ...
Spike Lee:
Lee put it down to the skills that British actors learn. Their training, he said, “is very proper, whereas some of these other brothers and sisters, you know, they come in here, and they don’t got that training”
Richard Hicks, president för Casting Society of America:
Hicks and his colleagues put the problem down to a failure to train American actors in character work. It is by building up a portfolio of cameo roles that a talent can develop, he argued.
