Members Vee Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 That looks like Sam's Club Keith Urban. I understand not wanting to deal with ASJ at this point but it's truly mortifying to cast some random Caucasian male. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 (edited) Heads should roll for this. I haven't been this offended by a recast since they de-Asian'ed Blair on OLTL! WTH, Frank!? Edited February 2, 2024 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 Blair on OLTL went from Asian to Cacausian in 1993 no one will be fired for this This very well may be short term 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 (edited) Frank just does not give a fúck. It reminds me of when they got that rando from Seinfeld to do a few days as Kevin just because Jon Lindstrom dared to book True Detective and not hang out in the parking lot indefinitely. You don't have to knee-jerk defend everything this show does just because they call someone "Jagger" onscreen.

Members Khan Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 IDC if it's for an under-five. This is 2024. Unless this dude is playing someone who's just using Jagger's name, Frank Valentini needs to answer for this [!@#$%^&*]. Otherwise, #FireFrank needs to be resurrected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 (edited) Also, whatever his D-list profile now Antonio Sabato Jr. was one of the most recognizable TV and music video sex symbols of the '90s. People know what he looks like even if they don't know his name. He was not the picture of whiteness. The least you can do is cast a Latino or Italian dude. It's like if Michael Muhney turned up playing Antonio Vega. Edited February 2, 2024 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 I guess after Blair went from Asian to Cacausian on OLTL, I just realized that its gonna happen. Gotta say it was jarring and I do wonder if there is a reason it had to be Jagger or why he couldnt be a random FBI guy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted February 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 Been seeing a lot of talk that ASJ is Cacausian Italian he's not hispanic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 Just because it might be inevitable, that doesn't make it acceptable. It wasn't acceptable when OLTL did it, and it sure as [!@#$%^&*] ain't acceptable now. I seriously don't know who to be mad at more: Frank Valentini, for thinking he could get away with this; or you, for casually condoning it while looking the other way. I mean, if that's the case, then I guess you wouldn't mind if I were to recast Jason with some black dude? Hey, it's gonna happen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 Said it was jarring but many are saying that ASJ is cacausian Italian. That he is not Hispanic so yeah maybe an actor of darker complexion but my big question did this have to be Jagger and if so then why this actor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 Again, @John, what the hell difference Does. That. Make. @Vee is right: you knee-jerk defend this crap because all you obviously care about is that someone mentioned Jagger's name onscreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 If Jagger is only around for this arc why not be a new FBI guy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 2, 2024 Members Share Posted February 2, 2024 (edited) Jagger and Stone's ethnicity may or may not have been vague, I can't recall, but he sure didn't look or present like this. When you recast an international sex symbol who was explicitly a dark Italian male and often coded Latino onscreen, you can at least not cast a CMT background player in the role. I don't care that they recast Jagger, Jagger ain't all that. But this actor choice is just tomfoolery.
