issued a lengthy apology statement on Twitter after he generated backlash for a controversial statement on transgender actors. In a since-deleted tweet, the “Memento” and “Mare of Easttown” actor mused about the roles trans actors can play.
Pearce said he understood how his question could be perceived as “insensitive,” but he maintained that he was “defending the definition of acting and nothing more.” “Similar discussions are occurring about trans actors and trans roles,” Pearce added, while noting that “none of this is straightforward.”
I understand how my question – asking ’If trans actors are the only ones allowed to play trans roles then are we also suggesting trans actors are therefore only allowed to play trans characters?” is insensitive.
