Viola Davis touches on Black representation in Hollywood: ‘We’re the leftovers’
Hollywood star Viola Davis spills the beans on on being a ‘leftover’ black actress in Hollywood.
The actor got candid during her interview with
Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast.
There she was quoted saying, “It’s so hard to get films made that don’t fit a certain box of how they see us. Inclusivity cannot be a hashtag.”
“You’ve got to write roles for people of color that are culturally specific – that is just as thought out as our white counterparts’ roles, to get to the point of excellence, so that we can be considered for awards. But a lot of time with inclusivity, it’s a second thought. We’re the leftovers.”

You may not have recognised ex-All Black John Kirwan as he puttered through Whangārei yesterday.
That s because the rugby coach turned mental health campaigner was riding a Vespa motorscooter.
The fleeting visit was part of Motorally Aotearoa, which is raising money and awareness for the Mental Health Foundation.

If the Sydney Roosters are able to lure All Blacks halfback TJ Perenara away from rugby union and to the NRL, they may end up paying a surprisingly low amount for his services.
The former Hurricanes co-captain and 69-test veteran is currently plying his trade in the Japanese Top League with the Red Hurricanes, choosing to take up the short-term contract overseas late last year. Now, it seems, the Roosters want to also secure Perenara s services on a short-term basis during what has become an injury-blighted season for the club.
