    Yes. And Robert De Nero isn’t Irish. And Hayden Christensen has all his limbs. Heath Ledger wasn’t gay. Tom Hanks doesn’t have a learning disability. Al Pacino has his eye sight. Geoffrey Rush doesn’t have a speech impediment.

    Acting is a skill, studios want actors. It’s nice when the actor’s life matches the part, but it isn’t a requirement and you shouldn’t try to invoke rage by pretending it should. What’s more important is how well the “cis” person played the part assigned to him.
