JOSEPH FIENNES – MICHAEL JACKSON
NEW YORK (AP) _ Michael Jackson is being played by a white actor in a British T-V comedy. Joseph Fiennes (FYNZ) says he thought someone goofed when he got the call. But the British character actor sees nothing wrong with a white man playing one of the most famous black performers ever, in the special “Elizabeth, Michael, and Marlon.” He says his portrayal is positive. But Fiennes acknowledges the issue of diversity is a “sensitive” one. Elizabeth, Michael, and Marlon tells the story of a supposed road trip as Jackson, Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor fled New York after the September 11th terror attacks. No airdate has been announced yet.
