It’s curious how few Americans are in American films these days.

Our politicians sure can.

Many are blacklisted for not following the prescribed socialist narrative of the day. They are not allowed to think or live outside the accepted socialist approved norms. Everyone must be in lockstep. Those that do not are no longer offered work in Hollywood, which also seems to be the center of the largest pedophile ring in the world.

It's a good point. And it's valid. Not sure it has much to do with American actors not being able to act. But it does speak to the Hollywood blockbuster mentality. With the focus there, it's opened the door to more mid-budget projects being produced by Europeans and they tend to use mixed casts. And video auditions have sort of erased the geographical confines that used to exist. There's also different acting styles taught and a lot of the projects now, especially through streaming platforms that lend themselves more to classically trained actors. We don't do that as much in the U.S. At least, that was how it was explained to me when I asked a friend in the business. She actually there was some kind of report done on it. It's a real thing. It's just a much deeper pool now than it was in the past.

Blame the U.S. laws.
It's cheaper for production companies to film in Canada rather than the U.S. so that's where a lot of filming (and casting) happens, even if the film is supposed to be set in the U.S.

We're all too fat and busy persecuting women and minorities while getting shot by children at school to act in movies.

There are really great non American actors.
I gues the age of the “ silver screen” that ruled Hollywood for years has for American actors, lost its luster. Perhaps we the population quietly crave the movies of the past and the actors and actresses of the past. The Clark Gable’s, The Rita Hayworths, Gary Cooper, Kate Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.
Make no mistake, there are and were great actors and actresses from America and who are Americans.
But re: non Americans, my favorite is Errol Flynn closely followed by PeterO’ Toole.

You mean Canadian, British and Australian Americans? Like in John Candy, Jeremy Irons and Mell Gibson?

I think we just like to hear foreign accent.. or maybe we're used to it?

Awww Texchik blocked me lol poor little snowflake

Sure they can.. Its just that Canadians, Brits, Kiwis and Aussies, (and some South Africians and Indians) are better at playing Americans with intelligence. Now if you want the sadistic Russian crime boss or something like that, call an American...😷

They are all filmed abroad using local actors, except for villains who must always be British.

American films? You mean superhero movies?

Not sure what u are watching. But most of my favorite actor's are American

You would rarely see americans in american movies .

E verything is outsourced

Cheaper

I've looked this up and there appears to be a mindset in Hollywood that actors from those countries are superior to ours in America. No idea why, but does Hollywood ever make sense?

Americans can act it’s just none supports them
