Jeremy Strong thinks criticism of straight actors playing gay roles is 'valid'

Jeremy Strong understands criticism of straight actors playing gay roles

Jeremy Strong thinks it is "valid" to criticise straight actors who take on gay roles.

The 'Succession' star can next be seen playing Donald Trump's late mentor, lawyer Roy Cohn, who was a closeted homosexual, in 'The Apprentice', and while he believes all actors should be given the chance to "change the stamp of their nature" and take on parts outside of their "native habitat", he also thinks it would be good to give "more weight" to the idea of gay performers taking on those characters.
