I'm pretty sure we've been through this a lot of times. Is the person's race important? If not then yes you can change it. If it is important you can't change it.

Well, at the time, your origin was somewhat important.
People from outside of Italy were not equal to people from the city of Rome.
Someone from Africa would not be taken as seriously as an Italian, and would probably never get to the point where he could declare himself dictator for life

You asked whether Caesars race was important, and i answered with "yes, it is, in some respects". Someone from the provinces or doesn't look like a proper Roman would not be able to do what he did at the time

Are you being an idiot on purpose?

You asked a question, then after i answered, you say you never asked it in the first place.

So i quote you asking it, and now you don't understand why i quoted it?

This is dumb,but not worth frothing at the mouth outrage and a huge 300+ post debate or anything. Still, most people who will completely write this off as no big deal would cry bloody murder over a white Shaka Zulu for example, which would also be dumb and pointless.

Its already hilarious this is put on by the Nashville Shakespeare Festival but combine that with casting Eddie George as your lead, and this is gold. I know when I think of Shakespearean performances, Nashville and retired football players are front and center.

So would their be as much uproar if he was played by a white guy? Ceaser would not have been white.

Well if you take an improv class you will find that the race and sex of an actor is irrelevant. A man can play a woman and vice versa. A lot of female improvisers actually complain that they're constantly referred to as "she" during improv, as if the other actors automatically assume they must be playing a female character. But she could be a little boy for example.

That's the thing about acting, in theory.

So, it really shouldn't matter. Caesar could well be played by an elderly asian woman.

That's especially true in theater. I think that Caesar thing is actually a play, not a movie or a tv-show. So it's fine. It's just the way acting is on the scene.

But... if you make a movie or a tv-show... and if you make it a point to cast white historical figures as nonwhite just to make a point, then yeah that's kind of dumb.

Did he have to be bald, though...?

He looks much more like an Egyptian pharaoh than a Roman emperor without any hair.

tbf Caesar was balding from an early age, part of the reason he wore the laurel wreath everywhere was to hide his bald spot.

Nah, Nero was a bitchboy who liked to play the harp to a backdrop of burning cities.
