When news broke that actor James Franco had been cast as Fidel
Castro in the indie film "Alina of Cuba", a lot of people had A LOT
to say about it. Some people (like actor John Leguizamo) were
appalled, and some (comedian Bill Maher) were appalled that people
were appalled.
So why is authentic representation in film and television so
important to some and not to others. Lisa sits down with legendary
casting director Carla Hool and multi-hyphenate powerhouse
actor/producer/casting director Elaine Del Valle to discuss why
this subject strikes so deeply in the Latin and Hispanic
communities.
Lisa and Carla compare notes on the actors at the top of THEIR list
for the role of Fidel Castro. Don't miss it!
