After facing backlash over being cast as an Asian character in Ghost in the Shell and a trans man in Rub & Tug, Scarlett Johansson stated in an interview that “as an actor I should be able to play any person, or any tree, or any animal.”

In response, Asian actor Chris Grace decided that he should play Scarlett Johansson. His one-person show, Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson features him in a number of absurd wigs discussing Johansson’s career and Hollywood’s long history of whitewashing.

We talk to Grace about this hilarious and poignant show, which is now available to stream on Dropout.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas Perný & Miloslav Kollar
