African American...


Do you think that a black person could ever play a part like Kiera Knightly's part in this movie.(19th Century parts)....And Im not talking about a dark skinned girl but a lighter skin girl.


Well I think that if she could pull of the accent and the time period ...she could o it.....what do you all think..

Movies about History and the correctness/accuracy of the way things were, odds are an african american women wouldn't be casted. I think some actresses who are african american are superb and would do a great job as far as showing emotional connections.

It's not a races thing just with the way history was, you can't change it, it already happened.

Keep in mind that "black" and "African-American" are not the same thing. Include actresses of African descent who were born in England, France, etc.
