How did Robert Downey Jr. get by playing Lincoln Osiris in Tropic Thunder (2008)?Now-a-days people are finding actions in the past (10, 20, 30 years) and bring things up, causing people to be fired, ostracized, and even grilled by congress. Even questioning why "blackface" is always a bad thing got someone fired. And here we have a white actor playing an African-American character, and mostly for laughs!It seems like it sure wouldn't work today and I am kinda shocked it worked then? Despite all of that, he killed that role, and won almost universal appraise for it!How did he pull it off? How did the producers sell it?What did you think of RDJ as Sgt Lincoln Osiris? via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2VtdB8u
