Tom Holland says British actors have an advantage over Americans when it comes to playing U.S. roles. “’Cause we’re just so good, bro.” “When it comes to accents, the way English people speak, we use our tongue a lot more.” “For us to do American, we have to relax. For an American to play a Brit, you have to work harder.” “You’ll often find if you see an American doing a British accent all day, it’s like they’ve been doing a face workout.” “We have a lot more American culture in England. We watch your films, your TV, your music.”

EXPOSING the racism and exclusion of Black Americans in Hollywood. White people writing black storylines for movies and tv shows, not knowing Black American culture, mentality, and their details. Just hire more people from different ethnic groups to write & act in the industry
