Topic	John Boyega speaks on harrassment of star wars actors
Zeus 06/13/18 11:19:01 PM #32:	Mead posted... I've had a dozen or more death threats on this board @ Zeus No, you havent. Yes, I have. And you know damn well because you and your lackeys have been witness or party to some of them. Mead posted... Youre also just flat out wrong in your assertion that she somehow deserved this harassment for taking an acting role. Youre beyond the realm of any reasonable thinking. First off, somebody who harasses as much as you do really has no room to talk here. Second, I said that taking a role leaves you open to criticism for that role. dioxxys posted... Mead posted... Most people that talk crap on the internet would never have the nerve to do so in person I also imagine most of these infamous trolls are actually teenagers It's a popular cliche, but I doubt it's actually the case since most of the people with strong opinions on the franchise as a whole tend to be old enough to have been outraged over the prequel trilogy. adjl posted... Yes. I also know that absolutely no actor who doesn't already have a well-established career would turn down a part in ***ing Star Wars, given the publicity and visibility such a role will offer. No, you actually don't. You BELIEVE that no actor would, but that's not the same thing as knowing. And, as I noted earlier, the publicity and visibility has clear downsides. Not just in terms of typecasting (which is a huge issue for somebody just getting started), but also because we already* saw how others who took these roles were treated. adjl posted... I also know that, before taking the part, it's unlikely that she received the entire script to be able to review it and assess how well-implemented her character is. Even if they don't get everything pertaining to their character (and usually you'll see more and more as you get closer to actually signing), they still receive substantial parts of it. Your belief that they're somehow going in completely blind is erroneous. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:903210242] in John Boyeg...
