British actor Joseph Fiennes has been cast as iconic African-American pop star Michael Jackson in an upcoming TV comedy Le'Veon Bell Youth Jersey , provoking scorn on social media on Wednesday and fueling a controversy in the entertainment industry over opportunities for black artists.


Fiennes, who is white, will play the late "King of Pop" in an apparently real-life story for Britain's satellite TV channel Sky Arts about a road trip across the United States the singer is said to have taken in 2001 with movie stars Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando.


Sky Arts said in a statement on Wednesday that the 30-minute comedy, called "Elizabeth, Michael & Marlon Antonio Brown Youth Jersey ," is "part of a series of comedies about unlikely stories from arts and cultural history. Sky Arts gives producers the creative freedom to cast roles as they wish, within the diversity framework which we have set."


Jackson, who had the medical condition vitiligo that lightened the color of his skin, died in June 2009 at the age of 50 after an overdose of the sedative propofol.


News of the casting decision came two weeks after the omission of any actors of color from the 2016 Oscar nominations for a second year that led Will Smith and Spike Lee to shun the Oscar ceremony in February and Oscar organizers to bring more women and people of color into their ranks.


Stereo Williams, an entertainment writer for The Daily Beast Mason Rudolph Womens Jersey , said the casting of Fiennes was a "symptom of Hollywood's deep-seated race problem."


"They seriously couldn't find a black actor to play Michael Jackson?" tweeted U.S. civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson, a member of the Black Lives Matter movement.


"So Joseph Fiennes (A WHITE DUDE!) is gunna play Michael Jackson... I say Denzel Washington plays Elvis in the next movie just to be fair," said @nicomadden on Twitter.


So-called "whitewashing" has become a contentious issue in the movie and TV industry, highlighted by the casting of Emma Stone as a character of Hawaiian and Asian heritage in the 2015 film "Aloha," and the choice of white British actor Charlie Hunnam to play a Mexican-American drug lord in an upcoming Hollywood movie.


"Elizabeth James Washington Womens Jersey , Michael & Marlon," will also star Stockard Channing as Jackson's late, close friend Taylor, and Brian Cox as Brando. It is expected to be broadcast sometime in 2016.

Oscar-winning actor and groundbreaking comedian Robin Williams hanged himself with a belt in his Northern California home after he had sought treatment for depression Chukwuma Okorafor Womens Jersey , a coroner said on Tuesday based on preliminary findings.


Williams, 63, was found dead by his personal assistant at midday on Monday in a bedroom. The official preliminary cause of death was asphyxia due to hanging, he said, and conclusion of the investigation is still weeks away.


Williams had been open about his struggles with alcohol and cocaine and in the past months had entered a rehabilitation center to help him maintain sobriety. But many questions remained over what could have led him to take his own life.


His tragic end stood in stark contrast to the many on-screen characters he portrayed who encouraged those around them to tap into their own inner vitality Terrell Edmunds Womens Jersey , a wellspring of creativity to which he himself gave full vent in films such as "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "Dead Poets Society."


Williams is not the only celebrity who have suffered from depression. Read on to find out more.
