James Franco: Should An Actor Only Play Who They Are?

No, absolutely not. I have a lot of problems with modern activism
and its focus on small things but the rally to only have an actor
play a role to which they are assigned is simply upside down,
wrong head and self destructive. Equality is not only a trans,
gay, disabled or ethnic minority being able to play those roles,
its trans, gay, disabled or ethnic minority actors having equal
opportunity to play any role.
