@LaCriollaRoja They could have done, but if you know anything about Othello and it's performances and interpretations, you would appreciate that Laurence Olivier was and is considered the actor who perfectly captured the character of Othello to the point that actors have not wanted to follow him in the role.

It had to do with tradition. The role of Othello was played by a white man for centuries, and the tradition was so strong that they didn't stop until the 60's. It's sort of like how women used to be played by women in drag, except this lasted longer

@LaCriollaRoja It wasnt anything to do with not wanting to cast a black man...all it was is that laurence oliver had a massive big head and decided he could play ANY shakespearen male role and was determined to do Othello.

@queenmcsleaze There is much debate. but what's certain is he wasn't african-american because he wasn't from sodding America.

It takes wonderful acting to not laugh at that Horrid makeup mid-scene. Would it have been That painful to simply cast a Black man, instead of dipping him in car grease?
