Can any actor play any role?

TV and movie roles nowadays play quickly and furiously with
characters' identities. 007 is now a black woman (she isn't James
Bond, but she has assumed his codename). Ghostbusters 2016
entirely replaced the main characters with women. In the
television series 'Elementary', Sherlock Holmes' friend and
sidekick, Dr Watson, is a Chinese woman, and the gender-swapping
famously continues with the 13th doctor in the BBC series Dr Who.


In this week's episode, Tayo argues that all this identity
swapping is woke virtue-signalling, and has the net effect of
eroding - if not completely destroying - our cultural heritage.
Tony disagrees and feels that anyone should be able to play any
role. "Well," asks Tayo. "does that mean Brad Pitt can play
Nelson Mandela?"
