Isn’t the point of an actor to be able to play anyone outside your own world?”While many of Pearce’s followers agreed with him, others argued that trans actors should be prioritised for trans roles, due to the current lack of opportunities in film and television.“Okay, so if this debate is actually about trans actors not getting the opportunities to work like other actors do, then let’s be clear about that and state that precisely,’ Pearce replied to one person.“Also, why should one’s personal position be relevant when it comes to casting? That’s private. It’s our own business.
