Scott D. Pierce: A black man in 'Interview with the Vampire'?
I am willing to applaud while manufacturers make tv indicates extra inclusive.
When they are solid actors of numerous ethnicities.
And that consists of casting characters of ethnicities one-of-a-kind from
what the ones equal characters might also additionally have been in the supply material.
There’s no indication, for example, that “House of the Dragon’s” Velaryon's
own circle of relatives is Black within side the book, “Fire and Blood.” But there’s no indication they aren’t.
So casting Black actors as Velaryons isn't simply fine,
it’s a type of great. Particularly due to the fact it’s now no longer a plot point, it simply is.
And yet … I became afflicted to research that Black actor Jacob Anderson
(“Game of Thrones”) was solid within side the new “Interview with the Vampire” collection as Louis de Pointe du Lac.
Louis became born in France within side the mid-18th century and immigrated to Louisiana,
Lestat de Lioncourt preyed on Louis’ own circle of relatives and slaves after turning Louis right into a vampire in 1891.
