There is a very lovely little movie called Into the West about two Travellers kids.
BC will play a Welsh gypsy man, I don't know if they are the same group. Probably they are!

They already started with the POC thing. I like Lexi Alexander but sometimes she just doesn't check her facts. I doubt BC is going to play the son, he was a teenager. And, if he's going to play young Patrick, I'd prefer he only plays the father. Also, expect people complaining BC playing another gay character instead of a gay actor playing it. Btw there is a blog from an ex-boyfriend/partner from Mikey Walsh (né Stevens) who says MW was always retelling his story in different ways and that it has nothing to do with the story he told him. Apparently MW used him. Anyway he found the first book very good but the second (where MW wrote about him) not true. MW almost didn't give interviews and in the last one he just repeated the story as it is in the book. Also he accused his uncle of sexual abuse and his family denies that happening. Brace yourselves to all kind of complaints (wrong ethnic group, wrong sexual orientation, controversy about the story being true or not, etc). There's a tradition of bare knuckle fighting which, although illegal, still goes on but has mostly transitioned to regular boxing. That was what he was supposed to practice. Yes, he was not Irish.

Who is Lexi Alexander? Maybe Oscar Isaac should play the role! Is he gay or not? Because if not then we should find a dark skinned gay actor to play the homophobic father of a very fair skinned gay guy because... something!

Sorry. Yes I just read that Mikey Walsh, although his name is Irish, was part of the UK Romany Gypsy community not the Irish Travellers. . The two communities do have a lot of traditions in common though including the bare knuckle fighting.
Good news is BC won't have to do an Irish accent!!!

Lexi Alexander is a director. Scott Derickson was producing something for her,I think. She is part German, part Palestinian. Imdb

I remember her. She defended him during the Ancient One polemic! I guess she needs to show she is in the "good" side. That's how call-out culture works!

I suppose he will roll with any criticism - he's seen it all before! :-))

Mikey Walsh seems very happy on Twitter. He is sending kisses to everyone! It seems he is very involve in the project. The producer even said they are friends since teenagers!

I've seen Raging Bull, and I think de Niro was amazing in it. But honestly, that's about all that I think of that film. :/
