I'm choosing to ignore the "hater" posting before mine
Anyway, Naveen Andrews is Indian (I think), but I see Indian and Middle Eastern doctors all the time. They are quite common in the medical field in the US. Maybe that's another reason they cast him?
Plus he's super gorgeousjust a side note.

[Good move to ignore that one. Anyone who uses a backward, anachronistic term like 'black buck' is either an elderly bigot who longs for the 'good old days' and bad romance paperbacks set on plantations or an updated but reactionary
spoiling for a fight.]
Yeah, he
is
very attractive and and a beautiful shade at no extra charge. David Kirmani's Mom could probably look forward to some gorgeous mixed race grandchildren had that been in the cards. -

.everything has to be "multicultural" which to be honest
makes me sick.
You found this story comedic somehow? Sorry to hear about your illness but don't despairthere's an outside chance you will outgrow you backward attitude. Very sad. -

Yeah right. There are lots of scenarios you don't mention though; like black vs. hispanic and such. The Cambodian actor from The Killing Fields was killed by a black guy, but do I think that all blacks are criminals? Nope. Timothy McVeigh was a white dude should I think that all whites are terrorists?
Truth is that crime strikes anyone. Minorities aren't specifically targeting "all those white people", just people. Period. -

Ah..this all sounds ridiculous..it's not like Jodi and Naveen or Terrence were hooking up in "real life". She doesn't even swing that way from rumors.
The color wasn't important in the casting choice, it was the actor and their ability. I thought it was very well casted.
Do you Think Nevin's character in I am Legend was written as a black man from a book in the by Richard Matheson???
You need a good actor to carry a film..color need not be consideredanother good one would be Denzel's little lauded movie, Man on Fire

"I just thought it was random that Foster had a brown boyfriend. I know, I know, it doesn't matter or anything and it actually works with Howard being brown (or a light skinned black man, call it whatever) and reminding Foster of her boyfriend, but I also saw it as a random sort of casting choice. "
Does it really matter? I'm surprised since you say you are brown.
Just when you think we get over the black remarks I hope we are not going to start on brown.
I hope that people don't replace a colour when they may really focusing on religion.
I can't bare any of that. We're all the same, stop the biggots. -

Well said, why should it matter? Maybe Foster thought Naveen was a good actor and/or good looking.
Maybe, same for Howard too. I remember she really wanted to play Detective Mercer, after seeing his performances in Crash and Hustle & Flow.
