A community for entertainment industry news and general discussion about movies and TV shows.
Rules:
Yay! The actor was a Russian sympathizer and a terrible person. Good in White Lotus for making the change
What makes you say he's a terrible person?
Russian sympathizer
There it is
Enough to be banned from Ukraine
Ugh, GOOD.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The makers of hit TV show the White Lotus have dropped actor Miloš Biković from the upcoming series after criticism from Ukraine over the Serbian native’s ties to Russia.
Biković, who was cast for the third season of the award-winning dark comedy just weeks ago, has protested against HBO’s decision as “the triumph of absurdity and the defeat of art”.
A spokesperson for the network, asked by AFP for comment, said on Saturday only that “we have decided to part ways with Milos Biković and the role will be recast”.
When HBO originally announced the casting of Biković on 12 January, the Ukrainian foreign ministry made its displeasure clear.
Posting on social media platform X, it said the actor had “been supporting Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion” of Ukraine.
Filming of the third season of Emmy-winner The White Lotus will begin in Thailand this month, with the show set to air in 2025, Variety reported.
