Felix Leiter is White!!!

[Morgoth]

What the hell is wrong with these films that mess up classic characters by screwing up how they cast them.

In James Bond the CIA agent Felix is white, but in Casino they have a black actor playing him!

Wrong!!!

It's not a racist thing, I just wanna' see the character not some moron's idea of affirmitive action. So dumb. Make some other black charater if you want one, just get rid of that jerk.

That's like making Blade white.

I suppose this would be a bad time to mention that Bernie Casey played Felix in Never Say Never Again.

Personally, I don't see reason to make a fuss, especially since in the movies he was in, Felix was played by a different actor most of the time.

Morgoth,

do yourself a favor...go away and don't ever come back.

 

[Cаrter]

Well, according to Never Say Never Again it doesn't matter.
Honestly was Felix's character so developed that it makes a difference?

Of course not.

It is being racist. Because it doesn't matter what color the guy is. It's not like we're making Bond black, here.

Ooh horrors, Felix isn't black. 007 isn't blonde, either. Let's all rant and rave about how horrid it all is

As it was mentioned...there has been a precedent of a black actor playing Felix.....so get over it.
