Hollywood Whitewashing: 16 Times White Actors Played Minority Characters

13. Most of the Actors in Exodus: Gods and Kings

The 2014 film Exodus: Gods and Kings about the Old Testament cast mostly white actors to play Egyption roles including Joel Edgerton, John Turturro, Sigourney Weaver and Christian Bale as Moses. Director Ridley Scott said: “I can’t mount a film of this budget, where I have to rely on tax rebates in Spain, and say that my lead actor is Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such. I’m just not going to get it financed. So the question doesn’t even come up.” At least he’s honest about it.
