After the Poirot star complained about a non-Jewish actor being removed from the role of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, arts columnist Fiona Sturges observes that it is Suchet's own access to parts that seems to worry him

The actor says that acting in the scene where she has sex with Leonardo DiCaprio on a bed of money was really painful in The Wolf of Wall Street. “I got a million paper cuts on my back from all that money! It's not as glamorous as it sounds,” she said. “If anyone is ever planning on having sex on top of a pile of cash: don't. Or maybe real money is a bit softer, but the fake money is like paper, and when I got up off the bed, I turned around to get my robe and everyone gasped.

Yesterday you were complaining and today you profiting, life can change in a split second hey, hilarious. I'm finding everything tiresome but still having so much fun 😂

Do you mean industries from countries that are predominately straight and white? Imagine that! Also, let's be fair here, it was one industry where being gay didn't hold you back.

Down here I used to tell people who complain they must go work at the airport and call the planes as they come in to land (Kom (come) plane) ROTFLMAO 😂

I guess it's time all those gay folks in acting get used to not having many roles to choose from. The problem with 'political correctness' when applied in a ridiculous nature is that it will always come back to bite its fiercest proponents right in the arse.

and feels entitled to

Why are you attacking him all of a sudden? How is Putin? Still scared of women running The Kremlin?

'None of this is to say there is no room for invention and imagination in acting.' Indeed. Noteably absent in this article is any actual definition of acting, which would seem central to the author's case.
