Good morning 🌤️ We just completed Rebel Ridge on Netflix, and the suspenseful, action-packed dish-dish movie and its chiseled leading man (a dead ringer for Lion King’s Scar btw) inspired a debate in our newsroom about whether certain movie characters’ physical characteristics preclude them from certain roles. For example, you can’t cast The Rock in a movie as a regular-degular accountant without explaining why he’s built like a Boabab tree.
