I think not understanding a script is a perfectly reasonable…eh… reason for not accepting a role.
Lmfao so people were upset that a white man was chosen to play a japanese comic book character so they replace him with a korean….surely thats more offensive.
okay… Sean Connery was never hired to play Gandalf… they offered the role to him and he refused it because he couldn't understand the book and the character he was supposed to play which would lead to a bad performance so not everyone is accepting roles because they're greedy and money hungry
Oh white washing, the most ridiculous bullshit term ever. Who cares if a character is changed to be portrayed by someone of a different skin color, it reminds of how in Death Note there was all the hate due to Kira being white accusing them of white washing and almost no one said anything about L being black. Fucking double standards.
Kevin Spacey dit nothing wrong
Thank the movie gods that Sean Connery turned down the LOTR trilogy. Imagine Gandalf speaking with a scottish accent. What was Peter Jackson thinking at the time?!? Sir Ian MacKellan DEFINED Gandalf.
How are any of these shocking?
Connery could not have made a potential 450 mill from Lord of the rings, as the trilogy on paper, due to hollywood accounting, made 0 profit. That caused quite the rift with the Tolkien estate as well.
Sean connery was never meant to play Gandalf, he was supposed to play saruman
I always thought Christopher Lee would have made a good Gandalf. Before I read The Lord Of The Rings my first impression of it was the 1970s cartoon and the Gandalf in the cartoon looks much more like Christopher Lee and ironically Saruman looks more like Ian Mclellan.
THESE SHOULD'VE BEEN ON THE LIST!
-Edward Norton turning down "Avengers"(2012).
-James Woods turning down "Batman"(1989).
-Bela Lugosi turning down "Frankenstein"(1931).
Billy Idol left The Doors playing Jim Morrison because his near fatal motorcycle accident. He did have a very small part, and Val Kilmer took his place.
Josh Brolin as HELLBOY.
Anyone with me?
C'mon, really? Leaving a movie cause you weren't of japanese/american descent, but then hiring a korean instead? wtf
Peter Jackson fired a actor for being fat when he's fat so hypocritical.
YOU SHALL NOT PASSH!
Turns out Sean is a moron. He couldn't understand LOTR, Dragon Heart, or even League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
3:37 Is that Jesse Eisenberg?
I disliked the video when they mentioned "whitewashing", these cucks are so lame

Top 10 shocking actors, who shockingly left shocking movies
so if white washing is casting a white actor for a non white character… was Michael B. Jordan in fantastic 4 black washing?
I see Gandalf, I click
I hope all the Star Wars crew left for the shitty movie they just made
It all works out in the end.
Look at all the racist comments below, and they say racism isn’t alive and well and that it’s just in their heads. Liars. I’m a white woman and even I can see the problem happening here. While apparently you guys can’t see past your own noses. God made everyone. Everyone. He asked us to be brothers and treat each other that way. If you can’t do that then you may just be in a bit of trouble on judgement day and that day always seems to come faster than we think it will. Remember that. Now thumbs me down all you want-I don’t give a sh-t.
Yup, we can tell that WatchMojo is desperate for video ideas.
Thank goodness it was Ian mcellen I just can't see anyone else playing gandalf

I thought Sean Connery gave up Lord of the Rings 'cause he wanted to be on Celebrity Jeopardy and torment Alex Trebeck. "I'll take Japan US Relations, for $200."
Gandalf is very niccce
How can you fire someone based on allegations alone and to proof?
So a white actor can’t play a Japanese American character but a Korean actor can? So they are basically saying that’s close enough because they all look the same????????
