In a recent episode of a podcast, actor Billy Dee Williams shared his views on actors performing in blackface. Williams recalled watching Laurence Olivier in the 1965 production of 'Othello,' where Olivier wore blackface to portray the title role. Williams found Olivier's performance humorous, stating that he loved that kind of portrayal.
During the conversation, Williams expressed his belief that actors should have the freedom to portray any role they choose, including using blackface. He emphasized the importance of individual creativity and rejected the idea of limiting artistic expression based on race.
