In an interview with PA News Agency, the Netflix star revealed the difference of representation in the US versus the UK. “America isn’t obviously where it needs to be as far as representing marginalized groups.
But we’re light years ahead of the UK,” he said. He went on to say that the UK entertainment industry pays “lip service” and “tokenism” when it comes to showcasing diversity and impactful social movements. “I think so many networks said during the Black Lives Matter movement that, ‘we’re going to do better, we’re going to share more diverse stories,’ and it’s been a year and couple months, it doesn’t take that long to make a show.
