Zack Sharf Digital News Director Guy Pearce issued a lengthy apology statement on Twitter after he generated backlash for a controversial statement on transgender actors. In a since-deleted tweet, the “Memento” and “Mare of Easttown” actor mused about the roles trans actors can play. “A question — if the only people allowed to play trans characters are trans folk, then are we also suggesting the only people trans folk can play are trans characters?” Pearce wrote. “Surely that will limit your career as an actor? Isn’t the point of an actor to be able play anyone outside your own world?” While apologizing for “crassly focusing” on an “already-harassed minority,” Pearce also wrote: “I see that raising the question of gender identity within the casting process on a platform like Twitter was not a good idea. For that, I apologize, enormously. I acknowledge it has only stirred up and inflamed attitudes and made us all dig our heels in. I take responsibility for that and again, apologize for starting a fire.”

Guy Pearce has apologised after sparking a social media debate about transgender acting roles.The Australian actor, who famously portrayed a drag queen in 1994’s The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, recently came under fire for questioning whether or not only transgender actors should be allowed to play transgender roles.Pearce tweeted on Monday (March 27): “A question – if the only people allowed to play trans characters are trans folk, then are we also suggesting the only people trans folk can play are trans characters?“Surely that will limit your career as an actor? Isn’t the point of an actor to be able to play anyone outside your own world?”While many of Pearce’s followers agreed with him, others argued that trans actors should be prioritised for trans roles, due to the current lack of opportunities in film and television.“Okay, so if this debate is actually about trans actors not getting the opportunities to work like other actors do, then let’s be clear about that and state that precisely,’ Pearce replied to one person.“Also, why should one’s personal position be relevant when it comes to casting? That’s private. It’s our own business.
