Jesse Williams has spoken out regarding the leak of a nude scene from his Broadway revival of Take Me Out , saying that he’s “not down” about it. “Our job is to go out there every night, no matter what…I’m not really worrying about it. I can’t sweat that,” Williams told The Associated Press on Thursday at their event, Tony Awards: Meet The Nominees . The actor added that actors “do need to keep advocating” for themselves, and that it’s been “wonderful” to see his community “push back” and be clear about the kinds of behavior it won’t stand for. “Consent is important, I thought,” he said. “So, let’s keep that in mind universally.” Williams added that while “theater is a sacred space,” not everyone understands that. “Everybody doesn’t necessarily respect or regard that in a way that maybe they should, or we’d like,” he continued. In the play by Richard Greenberg, Williams plays Darren Lemming, a pro baseball player who struggles after coming out as gay.

British broadcaster Andrew Neil and former Director General Greg Dyke have torn apart the BBC licence fee, with Neil calling it a “straitjacket” and urging the corporation to think about new models. Speaking to a UK House Lords of Committee, Neil, who presented BBC shows for 25 years, said questions need to be asked over whether a funding mechanism that was created “when Lenin was rolling out his economic plan and Warren Harding won a landslide in the U.S. presidential election” still works. Neil set out his alternative to the £159 ($198.45) annual licence fee, which makes around £3.75BN ($4.7BN) per year but is being frozen for the next two years – a move by the UK government that is set to lose the corporation around £1.5BN ($1.9BN) by 2027. A Commission For Public Service Broadcasting would be directly financed by the UK taxpayer acting “as a gate between politicians and broadcasters,” according to Neil’s plan, with the Commission’s pot used to fund less … [Read more...] about British Broadcasting Veterans Andrew Neil & Greg Dyke Tear Apart “Straitjacket” BBC Licence Fee, Suggest New Models
