This has nothing to do with courage. It has everything to do with fear of his audience leaving him.He is in show biz and so are the casting directors.

You need to expand your knowledge if you think Hollywood is the beacon of reason and sanity. This is a Hollywood problem not an America problem. Hollywood is not progressive nor the standard for progressives. Hollywood is a corporation that sells entertainment, but for some reason some among them decided to preach as if they are prophets. Ego and fame gone to their heads. They are not prophets, they are not progressive, just entitled rich tax cheats who need to shut up and act. And Bill Maher is one of them. You are a comedian Bill.

This reminds me of a story about Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman in the the movie, The Marathon Man. In order to portray his character being up all night running for a scene, Dustin Hoffman did exactly that, stayed up all night running around the city. The morning they were shooting it, he was all proud of having done that and told Sir Laurence because he wanted to impress his idol. Sir Laurence just looked at him and said, "You're an actor, why waste your sleep when all you have to do is act?"

That includes anyone listing cashapp links and other bank account links on their youtube channel or asking for donations. Lev. was translated wrong billy graham. Refering to pedophilia. "Men shall not molest young boys." Delete or reject the messages sent from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 and you reject Jesus Christ Herself and choose to die with the wicked. Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to bring back the money they were never supposed to take for ministering and God will end Covid. Every major church around the world knew this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much they chose to kill everyone with Covid instead of returning it! James 5:2 Rich people are NOT Christians and the wealth they selfishly kept to themselves will only be used as evidence to burn them. The 2 witnesses are righteousness and judgement, not actual people. There is no ONE antichrist; it was made up by people that worship money. Stay out of the fake churches or you will die with them and their lies. In order to be a church, the place must house people inside it. Otherwise it's another private money-making business serving satan and part of Babylon. There is no such thing as rapture. Jesus comes back to rule. God's people are caught up spiritually... Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where one partner is transgender. Mathew 19:12 🏳️‍🌈 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. It's even in the Bible. Yes, the bible was written by bigoted men and is way outdated and was changed and should be thrown out. But even Jesus spoke about transgender people. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused (it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused). Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. Notice, God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Eunuchs are same sex couples. One partner is transgender. Transgender is when someone is born with a gender opposite the sex characteristics normally associated with that gender. God made us male or female, determined by gender, located in the brain. Your gender is located in your brain and determined at birth. I have an identical twin sister that is female in gender. I am male in gender. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and that means any discrepancies in the bible are ultimately decided by me. Plus, it states in Deuteronomy that nobody was castrated back then. And that doesn't make sense anyhow. No one is born castrated and no one is born making the decision to be celibate. But, that is what God wanted the lying preachers to think so they wouldn't take it out of the bible. Intersex people still have one gender or another because gender is located in your brain. And Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. So anyone that says different than this won't be here much longer. It's everyone's choice. Anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing or getting paid in any way to minister will also die with the wicked. Peter 2:9 says we are ALL ministers . . . . Jesus was transgender and will return as a woman..... Remember, Malachi 3:8-12 is talking to the thieving church leaders. It's the answer to end Covid and every major church around the world has known this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much, they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE to kill everyone instead of returning it. My preaching will lead to a universal monthly income for everyone. If church leaders dont repent, they won't be here to see it. Their choice . . . .. .. ...

Bill Maher pulled a red herring with this piece. Bill Maher spoke as a man truly clueless of the history of Hollywood. White actors have received nearly every role in the history of Hollywood. Even roles as characters that were not white! Hollywood is a white dominated industry. If a non-white actors gets a role it's nearly always a stereotypical role, while white actors get to play "diverse" roles? White actors get to play the hero, but black actors get to play an angry black person roles? A white actor gets to play a kung fu master, but an asian actor plays a socially inept nerd? Also for a longtime white Hollywood passed up non-white actors for non-white roles! Bruce Lee got past up for the show Kung Fu because he was "Too Asian"? Desi Arnez argued with white producers, who thought Desi Arnez as too Cuban to be a husband in an multiethnic marriage for "I Love Lucy"? Ellen DeGeneres' show was cancelled in 1998 after coming out as gay? But straight actors can play gay characters and receive little to no consequences? Bill Maher should've thought harder!

[@FingersKungfu]

Bill Maher is completely missing the point here. The point is not about certain people appropriating certain roles. It's about white actors/actresses are able to get all the roles they do not represent, whether it is as native americans, arabians, asians, aliens, tibetans, egyptians, hawaiians or people with scissor-shaped hands. Guess how diversified the roles Asian-looking actors could actually have in an American film? In Hollywood, people who look like an Indian (from India) can only play Indians who speak English with an accent. A Chinese-looking man could only play East Asian roles and that's pretty much the sum of his career oppotunity. An industry that allows a white women to portray a Hawaiian in a country that has a million of REAL Hawaiians is committing not only cultural appropriation but also a disturbing case of racial discrimination. When Hollywood hires people for leading roles they’d hire mainly white actors from across the globe - from uk to Australia to South Africa, Ireland, Canada and Europe. It does seem that Hollywood is not just an American industry but essentially a “white” industry that is committed to storytelling from “the white perspective”. If you are white you get the role, it doesn’t matter if you ‘re not even an American. That, for me, is disconcerting. Some influential directors, like Ridley Scott, are unabashedly “old school” he just refuses to tell a story unless it’s through white actors. He recruited an Australian man to play the pharaoh in Exodus and a white English boy to play a jewish child-god. His latest film Alien Covenant depicts a major space expedition in a hundred years time but there is just one non-white “token” black actor in the whole crew. It’s not even realistic, it’s almost embarrassing. Of course, the future of space expedition should be told once again from the white angle alone.

That includes anyone listing cashapp links and other bank account links on their youtube channel or asking for donations. Lev. was translated wrong billy graham. Refering to pedophilia. "Men shall not molest young boys." Delete or reject the messages sent from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 and you reject Jesus Christ Herself and choose to die with the wicked. Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to bring back the money they were never supposed to take for ministering and God will end Covid. Every major church around the world knew this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much they chose to kill everyone with Covid instead of returning it! James 5:2 Rich people are NOT Christians and the wealth they selfishly kept to themselves will only be used as evidence to burn them. The 2 witnesses are righteousness and judgement, not actual people. There is no ONE antichrist; it was made up by people that worship money. Stay out of the fake churches or you will die with them and their lies. In order to be a church, the place must house people inside it. Otherwise it's another private money-making business serving satan and part of Babylon. There is no such thing as rapture. Jesus comes back to rule. God's people are caught up spiritually... Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where one partner is transgender. Mathew 19:12 🏳️‍🌈 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. It's even in the Bible. Yes, the bible was written by bigoted men and is way outdated and was changed and should be thrown out. But even Jesus spoke about transgender people. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused (it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused). Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. Notice, God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Eunuchs are same sex couples. One partner is transgender. Transgender is when someone is born with a gender opposite the sex characteristics normally associated with that gender. God made us male or female, determined by gender, located in the brain. Your gender is located in your brain and determined at birth. I have an identical twin sister that is female in gender. I am male in gender. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and that means any discrepancies in the bible are ultimately decided by me. Plus, it states in Deuteronomy that nobody was castrated back then. And that doesn't make sense anyhow. No one is born castrated and no one is born making the decision to be celibate. But, that is what God wanted the lying preachers to think so they wouldn't take it out of the bible. Intersex people still have one gender or another because gender is located in your brain. And Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. So anyone that says different than this won't be here much longer. It's everyone's choice. Anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing or getting paid in any way to minister will also die with the wicked. Peter 2:9 says we are ALL ministers . . . . Jesus was transgender and will return as a woman..... Remember, Malachi 3:8-12 is talking to the thieving church leaders. It's the answer to end Covid and every major church around the world has known this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much, they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE to kill everyone instead of returning it. My preaching will lead to a universal monthly income for everyone. If church leaders dont repent, they won't be here to see it. Their choice . . . .. .. ...

Gay people are not underrepresented in Hollywood productions, yet he was "allowed" to take a role from a straight actor? Oh right, no one objected. Nor should they have.

thanks for using your platform to speak truth over feelings Bill!!!

Bill, I have come to appreciate what you have to say. Thank you.

[@synthiamcbride7194]

I find it so amazing that when a movie or TV advertises itself purely on the diversity of its characters and fails, the actors and Hollywood wonders where they went wrong. What makes a good TV program or movie is the story and finding the best actors to tell that story, not how diverse the cast is.

Then if it does terrible on Rotten Tomatoes the automatic defense is that it was reviewed bombed by white supremacists

on how stupid this stuff can get let look at bat women we had a ruby rose get critize for taking the role of bat women cause she was not the right type of gay. LIke what her sexuality has to do with playing a women in a bat suit??? (that show fail for a ton of things, but casting her as the lead wasn't one of them)

[@PeterDB90]

"...the actors and Hollywood wonders where they went wrong..." No, they don't. They just call the viewers bigots and blame them for the movie/show failing. If they actually wondered where they went wrong, maybe we would see some progress on this front...

I watch Bill Maher somewhat regularly, even though I don't agree with him very often. But he nailed this segment.

Philadelphia really helped me growing up as a young gay man. Hearing Tom Hanks say he wouldn’t do it is heartbreaking.

It's OK -- just put aside your abominations, and you'll get over it.

Bill Maher is right on the money, as always. One of the reasons to keep my HBO subscription.

[@rnrtruestories]

He’s so on point

[@TGBurgerGaming]

He's late to the table. How many years have people spent telling you guys it's not inclusion it's segregation.

[@mattkess3156]

Bill’s been sayin this shit for so long now, one of the few things he holds steady on. He tows the shit-lib party line in many ways but he kills the trivial nonsense on this one. It’s such a case of a dog with his tale between his legs how these actors relent on their roles after the fact. They don’t actually believe this PR drivel, they’re just telling the piss-ant plebs what they wanna hear

[@tammyjohnson1927]

As a black woman I understand everything you're saying. And even though he's late to the table it still has to be said. A professor once told me repetition is the essence of learning.

You’d be the first to complain if Danny Glover were cast as George Washington.

[@tammyjohnson1927]

@@joemartinez331 please lighten up like you said it's acting people transform themselves all the time. Look at any Murphy in coming to America he played the hell out of an old Jewish man special effects makeup. No I do understand some historical figures need to be portrayed in some real likeness. That makes sense in the context of the story. But most of this in the acting world is made up to make believe.

This was an awesome New Rules segment. Perfect follow up to a really good show. And I don't even care for Piers Morgan all that much, but in this show he made me rethink a lot about him. 5 Stars 🌟

Daniel Day-Lewis has been playing Gary Oldman for the last 20 years, and we didn't even notice. He's that good.

I’m convinced Daniel Day-Lewis is actually a statue that only comes to life once it’s been given a script

[@bradley163]

@@blindoutlaw that's a very intriguing theory. The script has to be presented to his statue form in a closely-guarded ceremony, I'd imagine.
