Bryan Cranston Responds To Backlash For Playing Disabled Character In The Upside

Bryan Cranston Responds To Backlash For Playing Disabled Character In The Upside

The Upside stars Bryan Cranston as a quadriplegic billionaire who forms an unlikely friendship with a former convict hired to be his caretaker, played by Kevin Hart. The film has received some backlash because Bryan Cranston, an able-bodied actor, is playing the role of a quadriplegic, which theoretically could have went to a disabled actor. Bryan Cranston has responded to the backlash, taking a very measured stance. In his words:

We live in the world of criticism, if we're willing to get up and try something, we have to also be willing to take criticism. We're very aware of the need to expand the opportunities for people with disabilities. I think being cast in this role as a quadriplegic really came down to a business decision. As actors, we're asked to be other people, to play other people. If I, as a straight, older person, and I'm wealthy, I'm very fortunate, does that mean I can't play a person who is not wealthy, does that mean I can't play a homosexual? I don't know, where does the restriction apply, where is the line for that? I think it is worthy for debate to discuss those issues.

Rather than fighting back against the criticisms in any sort of way or dismissing them out of hand, Bryan Cranston actually seems very open-minded and willing to hear them out and have a discussion. He knows that life is a platform subject to criticism, and his position as a public figure leading this movie such only emphasizes that. But that doesn't mean he's running from the delicate topic.

In his comments to Sky News, Bryan Cranston acknowledges the need for the industry to have more opportunities for people with disabilities, while also admitting that for him, taking the role in The Upside was a business decision. He is an actor and he took a job that required him to act as another person, who in this case happened to be quadriplegic.

The acclaimed actor then sort of muses about what the acceptable societal limits are for him as an actor, and how far he can he go from his own personal experiences when taking a role. He mentions that he is straight, so does that mean he can't play a homosexual? Bryan Cranston doesn't answer his question here, admitting he doesn't know the answer, insisting it is a discussion worth having.

This isn't the first time this sort of debate has sprung up, and it most certainly won't be the last. In 2018 actress Scarlett Johansson faced major backlash when she was cast as a transgender man in the film Rub & Tug. She eventually dropped out of the film. Several people came to her defense, like Glenn Close and Andy Serkis.

Where Bryan Cranston wondered out loud where the line is, Glenn Close and Andy Serkis believe that there is no line and as actors; it is their job to become someone else and thus anyone should be able to play anyone. That belief runs up against a movement for the industry to be more inclusive, and offer more opportunities to minorities and marginalized groups.

It is certainly a complicated issue and unfortunately not the only one surrounding one of The Upside's stars. Kevin Hart was set to host the Oscars this year, before dropping out over backlash due to insensitive comments he made in the past. The Oscars look like they will now be going without a host for 2019.

The Upside opens in theaters on January 11. For all of this year's biggest movies, check out our premiere guide.

Looks Like Nielsen Is Backing Up Netflixs Bird Box Numbers

Looks Like Nielsen Is Backing Up Netflixs Bird Box Numbers

The new Netflix film starring Sandra Bullock, Bird Box, has been an interesting topic of conversation of late. While Netflix has claimed record numbers of people have watched the film on the streaming service, some have taken issue with Netflix's claim. But now, Nielsen has come out with its own numbers on the new film and while Nielsen isn't reporting identical viewership, it is confirming that the movie is a hit.

The Nielsen way of handling ratings is certainly different than Netflix, and so, while there is a discrepancy in the absolute numbers, the main Netflix statement, that Bird Box saw more views in its first seven days than any other movie in the history of the service, is being held up by the Nielsen findings. The ratings company finds that 26 million people viewed Bird Box in the first week, which is up from the 20 million that Bright saw in the same period last year.

While 26 million is certainly down significantly from the 45 million that Netflix claims watched Bird Box, it's still a far from an insignificant number of people. And Nielsen's number is also simply an estimate. The company can only judge viewership based on what is reported to them so it's certainly possible that the number is much higher than what Nielsen suggests.

The major issue is that Netflix is traditionally very tight with its viewing numbers. It normally doesn't realease specific numbers for how much any particular program or movie is seen. This means there's no opportunity to verify from an outside source.

It also made the fact that Netflix simply tweeted out a very specific number quite strange. Netflix claims that 45,037,125 accounts viewed Bird Box in the first week. For a company that tends to keep numbers close to the vest, the detail seemed out of character, which made some people suspicious.

It seems that, at least anecdotally, a lot of people still haven't seen Bird Box or know anybody who has, which has made some cry foul, but it seems that, whatever way you look at the numbers, a lot of people did, in fact, see the film. It's possible that some watched simply to understand the memes that were going around, but at the end of the day, the reason doesn't really matter.

To that end, Variety reports that Nielsen's numbers do actually include some details regarding who specifically watched Bird Box. The audience was primarily young, with more than a third in the 18-24-year-old demo, female, over half the viewers were women, and diverse, African-Americans and Latinos made up just short of half the audience.

Perhaps that's why the anecdotal evidence doesn't match the numbers, it looks like Bird Box appealed to an audience that isn't necessarily what we think of when we consider moviegoers.
