Re: Andrea Levy - Small Island

Using Jamaicans to play Jamaican parts isn't acting.

It is real life. Acting is suppose to be make believe not real.
Do they could try to do a better job at make believe. But Who say they are not communicating the feel they want about Jamaicans and not the feel you want?
Usually a play or story have an agenda,that is not necessarily obvious to all.
That is why they ask for the interpretation of the people involved in the productions. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Nylah</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
at least I am honest about how bad I am

but seriously though, you mean to say they cant find talented Jamaican actors to play Jamaican parts on English shows?

or at least spring for a better voice coach.... </div></div>

Re: Andrea Levy - Small Island


I dont agree that it is real life cause then all American born actors in TV shows or movies are just doing real life and are not acting...that makes no sense cause it isnt true at all.

and yes many times actors from a particular region are used to represent accurately that region...Italians, Irish, Indian etc. and nobody says that is &quot;cheating&quot;
