Michael Sheen has said the Prince of Wales title should be held by a Welsh person, adding that he 'finds it hard to accept' non-Welsh actors playing Welsh roles
Michael Sheen has said non-Welsh actors should not to be given Welsh parts to play, as he also branded the Prince of Wales title "silly".Sheen, well known for playing English television interviewer David Frost in Frost/Nixon and Scotland-born Tony Blair in several films including The Queen, said it was "hard to accept" seeing non-Welsh actors playing Welsh roles.
"You know, seeing people playing Welsh characters who are not Welsh, I find, it’s very hard for me to accept that,” he told The Telegraph.“That’s a very different end of the spectrum, but a part like Richard III [the disabled Shakespeare character] is such a great character to play, it would be sad to think that that character, you know, is no longer available or appropriate for actors to play who don’t have disabilities, but that’s because I’m just not used to it yet, I suppose.
