Leave Sarah Lancashire out of this! Surely she isn't in that many shows I watch.

Speaking of Bodyguard, is there ever going to be a second season or what

[therearewords]

Does it need to?

[avingnon]

For me, yes

[therearewords]

Is he still guarding bodies?

Hollywood is the same. They get a hold of someone and cast them in everything….see Christoph Waltz a few years ago and numerous others

I feel like I haven't seen Christoph in years now that you've mentioned it.

I actually noticed that they keep casting the same people over and over again. I know Hollywood does the same but the turnover seems faster because they constantly want someone new/young/fresh *eye-roll*.

But if I watch an English TV show or movie, it's literally the same faces I see repeatedly. Even my sister noticed it and thought it was like they only have a small pool of actors they hire from. The upcoming actors who do get cast once or twice, tend to hop over to Hollywood immediately, especially if they are POC.

I think Rahul Kohli talked about this too and said that he got offered better roles in America and isn't interested in going back to England.
