Garfield began his point with his opinion that the debate on this topic is due to “two different conversations getting conflated.” “One is about equality of opportunity, and I’m completely in on that.

Garfield made this point during an interview with The Telegraph earlier this week, saying that it will be the “death” of acting if casting is done based on whether an actor’s real identity fits the role they're trying for. Of course we’re not talking about a white man playing a black man or vice versa, because that would be impractical, but why can’t a gay man can play a straight man if he’s able to? 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' actor Andrew Garfield thinks the woke trend in Hollywood, that actors can only be cast as a minority if they are actually that minority in real life, is absurd.
