British actor Joseph Fiennes was recently cast in a comedic TV movie in the UK as music icon Michael Jackson. **, these two people do **t share the same skin color, which is obviously making this project very scandalous. While Fiennes admits that he understands the backlash of a white actor portraying an African-American in a production, this week he came to his own defense, claiming that the TV special is satirical, so, you k**w, who cares? Clearly, a lot of people care, so we're basically counting down until the 45-year-old white actor quits this project.
