If the character was black and they got a white guy to play him you'd be singing a different tune

If Hollywood weren't so racially polarized, neither case would be an issue.

I think Viggo Mortensen would've fit pretty good for the role.

My choice would either be Viggo or Scott Eastwood, which, while I'd love it to be Scott, he's just a little bit too young, although they could have had him as young roland in flashbacks.
