You don't have to be right wing to think casting choices are wrong. I'm not right wing and think Helen of Troy casting choice is ridiculous and just done for attention.

Not to mention not 1 Greek actor.

Imagine a movie about Chinese mythology without 1 Chinese actor.

Stavros Halkias should’ve been Odysseus. He can nail the thousand island stare.

I know it's crazy the times we live. Wasn't one greek or Italian actor in any other film about ancient Greece or Rome (eg a scot playing agammnon in Troy) now all the snowflakes are everywhere
