Actors’ Roles: Should There Be a Limit?

nytimes.comTo the Editor: Re “Actors Are Supposed to Act. We Should Let Them,” by Pamela Paul (column, May 16): Ms. Paul’s piece was a breath of fresh air in this politically correct, yet toxic, environment.
As a child, I saw and loved “The Good Earth,” starring Paul Muni. But that was made in 1937, long before anyone questioned a Caucasian playing a Chinese man.
It was a movie of its time, and a memorable one, indeed. If it were remade today, the casting would certainly be more sensitive, as Ms.
Paul points out — for better or worse, I wonder. However, I do find the selection of a Black actor, Adrian Lester, to play one of the Lehman brothers a bit tone deaf.
