    The Charlie Chan movies were allegedly very popular in China at the time.

      Why was it a bad practice? It's ACTING. Jonathan Pryce was wonderful in Miss Saigon. And honestly, I feel lucky to have seen him in the production.
      You do know that the female roles in Shakespeare's plays were played by men, right?

        That's right. And look at all the straight characters who were played by actors that weren't.
        Some people love being offended and "horrified". It makes them feel all saintly and holy.

          Why would Charlton Heston play a Mexican. Why would Omar Sharif play a Russian?
          As long as they look and sound the part it shouldn't matter.

            I know what you mean. Each time I see and English actor playing an American I am just soooo offended.

              It was the early 60s..who would you suggest ? That had some experience and name recognition.

                Dude, it's called 'acting' for a reason. It is make believe. There are way more important things to worry about.
