You're being too literal. Of the pair who played it in Amsterdam (and Edinburgh), Hans Kesting, who has a similar energy to Mark Strong's, is a couple of years older than Marieke Heebink. It worked beautifully. OK. Let me try this: there are so few major parts available for actresses over 70 that only actresses over 70 should play them. Any good ? Well said Jan. |

Better argument (and decent sidestep) but no reason to exclude women actors over 60 - there aren't enough parts for them either.

Weren’t you complaining just the other week about how unfair it is that famous actors who are not from a marginalised minority group are “banned” from playing characters written as being of that minority group, and that actors should be allowed to play any role? |

Weren’t you complaining just the other week about how unfair it is that famous actors who are not from a marginalised minority group are “banned” from playing characters written as being of that minority group, and that actors should be allowed to play any role? Yes. I was just testing the water to see if actresses over 70 were a similarly protected minority group. There seems to be no consensus which is a bit of a problem. They can cast who they like as far as I’m concerned, I mean I wouldn’t want to confine it to actresses over 70 due to the risk of only Maureen Lipman being available. But my guess it will be someone of similar age and status to Mirren. |
