Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
My biggest complaint with the show is the casting as well. What a major let down for preacher comic fans who have been waiting for this for a long time
Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
Absolutely love the show. No problem with the casting except for not understanding a word the vampire says.
Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
Really what does a white American look like? And how does he not look like a American?
Dominic Cooper doesn't even look like a White american!

Make fictional southern towns great again!
Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
Sometimes there absolutely is a perfect response to something and you, my friend, made it right here. Brilliant!
(but for the record: the poster may just not have seen the actual world and only gets his ideas from things like movies, which have historically always been really terrible about typecasting and presenting a false narrative. I'm willing to give the OP a pass and just assume they're young/naive and don't know any better is all - it's kinda easy to get the impression that all Irish people actually talk like leprechauns and there aren't different dialects, for example, if you've only watched movies and such and don't know any better)

I am more disappointed with your tribal/exclusionary mindset. This is a very diverse country.

Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
I've noticed liberals that live in all white gated communities love to prattle ceaselessly about diversity.
Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
Are you honestly trying to suggest that liberal policies (as opposed to "conservative" ones) are what's keeping minorities from living in affluent neighborhoods? Or are you just suggesting liberals are hypocrites because some of them are wealthy (and completely ignoring that many of them aren't)?
Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
So you're saying if you were wealthy you would live in all white gated community? Typical liberal.
Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
I'm actually a Paleoconservative, thanks.
But the idea that minorities are less likely to live in these wealthy communities and wealthy people want to live in these wealthy communities may be inter-related matters but it doesn't suggest the causality that you're implying.
If you want to make fun of the "typical liberal" then maybe you should actually be poking fun of the wealthy guy living in that community that tries to make friends with the one black guy living in that gated community just so that they can say they have a "black friend." But yes, poor people are more likely to cause random crime - that's not a black or white issue, it's a wealth issue. Blacks have MUCH less money on average than whites in this country. Much of that has to do with the fact that wealth can get handed down and whites owned everything at the start of this country while minorities did not. There was a huge head start that whites had in that department.
I was actually born in a region of Pennsylvania with very few minorities. Wealthy people wouldn't dream of living next to the poorest people and their trailer parks (who were called "trailer trash"). These were white people and, yes, there was a lot more crime coming from this "trailer trash" than there was in the affluent neighborhoods.
Now if I was afforded the luxury to live in a gated community then I probably would! Most any reasonable person would, I suppose. But no, if in fact this gated community had actual rules about trying to keep out minorities then I would not.
But I certainly wouldn't live in the "ghetto" to try to live with minorities or whatever complete nonsense you seem to be offering up as an alternative. Seriously, what are you suggesting these "typical liberals" do? Are rich people not supposed to live in nice neighborhoods?

Yo, Pentrazemine, why did you bug out? I want to hear more about how Dominic Cooper has the incorrect facial geometry to play Jesse Custer/the Preacher.

Oh. So, it's not that Mr. Cooper is a white man with dark hair that looks strongly like Jesse Custerit's that he's the wrong kind of white man with dark hair that looks strongly like Jesse Custer.
I wonder if you complained this much about Andrew Lincoln playing Rick Grimes?
(By the way, I think the problem lies with the individual that picks at nits.)

I gave you reasons why Dominic doesn't look like a white american. If you refuge to acknowledge population genetics and phenotypic diversity of the human species, that's your problem.

Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
Cooper looks British. show me a photo of a British lad and an white american lad and I can easily distinguish 99% of the time.
The worst part is that everyone believes you believe all this!
But I'm not going to play any games with you, my parents taught me that it's best to just leave the crazies alone and live in their own make-believe-world and not bother them with the one that the rest of us are living in.
But it's especially absurd that you're so certain that you can tell the difference between a British person and an AMERICAN person when America is a land of immigrants and hardly has much of a "look" and individual genetic identity!
But here I'll play your game because maybe I'm crazy too:
Which one is British and which one is American?

Bonus points:
Which one's from America {and supposedly has an ancestry of - English (mostly), along with small amounts of German, Scottish, Welsh, Scots-Irish (Northern Irish), and Irish, remote Dutch and French} and which one is from Switzerland:

Re: Why can't they just hire authentic actors for the roles?
What is scary is that people like him exist. You never know when you'll meet one in public, but they will be looking you over and analyzing you.
Noting how far apart your eyes are.
Noting the color of your eyes.
Noting the size of your lips.
Noting the bridge of your nose.
Noting the prominence of your cheekbones.
And so forth, and so onuntil they determine how to judge/interact with you based on what they perceive your "phenotype" to be.
Creepy .
