ABC Announces 2015 Fall Schedule + New Season Press Releases | Spoilers

Welcome to Storybrooke, Maine, a small town that probably won't show up on your GPS, but it's a magical place to visit. Reality and myth merged after Emma broke Regina's curse, which had deprived the fairy tale characters of their memories and trapped them in our modern world. When they finally regained their identities, our heroes were dismayed to discover that they weren't transported back to Fairy Tale Land. To make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin - aka Mr. Gold - decided to escalate his power struggle with Regina by introducing magic into the town. But this is our world, and magic always has a tendency to yield unfathomable consequences.

You're describing the reason why many British actors hope to break into American film and television, but you're not giving a valid reason why that makes them any more or less worthy of landing an historically American role vs. an American doing the same.

The difference is that American audiences often don't care whether a British actor is portraying a iconic American as long as the accent is well researched and executed, but you're right to say that the British would make a huge stink over even the most believable of fake accents. Like, seriously, could you imagine an American or a Canadian playing Churchill? It would never fly.

That's the very definition of double standard.

It has nothing to do with being "worthy". American film and TV is a for-profit business and British actors are willing to work for less money. That's why they get the roles. I can only think of a few American actors currently working in British TV and they are portraying Americans.

It's not a double standard because it is two different groups each judging a single situation, not one group judging two very similar situations differently. I would guess that many American TV viewers who are not overinvested online fans are not aware that some actors in well-known American TV shows are British.

ITA!

And the bolded part is soooooo silly. I hope that's not offensive to anyone but seriously it's ridiculous.

But again I don't think this is relevant for OUAT because OUAT does not air in Great Britain. It is not relevant to the British general audience. There are many British fans but I think these are primarily the more "hardcore" viewers who are going out of their way to keep up with the show by streaming and downloading it. I don't think that's too many people. I think more British people watched when the show aired on TV but now that it's no longer easy to watch I think much of the audience in that country stopped watching.

But Americans are very aware that famed historic Americans like Lincoln and MLK were played by British actors as well as popular American iconic characters like Superman and Batman. And yes while every time these castings are first reported some shortsighted reporters make a stink about it, there certainly aren't protests or boycotts.

And if the British audiences got so upset and decided to boycott, it wouldn't matter considering the show doesn't air in GB.

So ultimately it doesn't really matter how some people in a country where the show doesn't even air react. In fact it shouldn't even be debated so let's just agree to disagree.

British actors landing roles on American television shows aren't making less money than their American counterparts. Shows have budgets, and contracts are negotiated based on noteworthiness and agent demand, not nationality.

And for the bolded: why can't we say the same about casual British viewers? What would the difference be in this case? If they aren't "over-invested online fans," then why worry that they'd even notice? A good actor can put on a believable accent, so honestly, what's the concern?

Also Robin Hood Prince of Thieves starred Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater. All American actors. And the movie was very popular and made lots of money. Same with the more recent Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett Robin Hood movie. Both are Australian actors and the movie was still very successful.

IMO Robin Hood is as much of an iconic British character as King Arthur.

So let's just move on...

Not sure what you're talking about. It was reported as cancelled in Britain years ago.

I looked it up and yes OUAT is once again available to UK and Irish audiences legally since this past March but only on Netflix, not on traditional TV.

And the show is doing very well. Netflix is just as popular as a delivery channel in Europe as it is in North America. Web-only programming is the coming thing there, too. abc can earn more money and reach more viewers from Netflix streaming than from TV broadcast in that market. People who have satellite TV can also watch it on RTL.

Every now and then i have to read a post then re read it because i am sure i read it wrong but this is seriously riddiculus. Wether you are in Britain, Canada or the Usa all Movies and TV are for profit. Not sure where you get your info from but British actors do not make less then american actors in the us because they are british they get paid based on their resume and how much their agent negotiates have you ever heard of sean connery. If you live in north america then you are probably going to see more american shows then british because that is what our networks show (unless you pay for speciality channels) but to stay they are not at the same level as american stuff is ludicrous. There also a lot of canadian and american actors who do work in britain but to potray a role in american show they must have a american accent which is why actors like alex o'loughlin and hugh jackson to name a few hide there accents so for american to do the same (which their are) they have to have a british accent.

It is also not true that actors from other countries like britian or austraila make less then american actors where they are from has no bearing as long as they can legally work in the usa and amounts are based on resume

As for Robin Hood i agree it is defenitly an ionic character for britian as king author is i was not a fan of the russel one but i love prince of thieves and british actor adam rickman was also in it( who was also in harry potter) awesome movie i had to download it
