Well, how about Morgan Freeman playing Hitler?
You tell us. Not sure he would show up for the audition let alone take the part. Besides I wasn’t aware that Shakespeare wrote a play about Hitler. He did however do one on the arch tyrant of the Tudors, that Yorkist usurper Richard III. Freeman could do that role but I don’t think he would accept it if offered.

I thought Denzel Washington in That Scottish Play was an interesting choice. These supposed contradictions don’t bother me in the slightest. I am, however, a bit tired of a majority of main characters in new shows being black women. It strikes me as pandering.

Shakespeare used to feature male actors dressed up as women pretending to be men.
I think we've got more important things to worry about.

Iron Eyes Cody, or “Espera Oscar de Corti,” was born in a rural southwestern Louisiana town on April 3, 1904, the second of four children. His parents, Antonio de Corti and Francesca Salpietra had both emigrated from Sicily, Italy just a few years prior.
Five years later, Antonio abandoned the family and left for Texas, taking with him Oscar and his two brothers. It was here, in the windswept deserts, that Oscar was exposed to Western films, and developed an affinity for Native American culture. In 1919, film producers visited the area to shoot a silent film, “Back to God’s Country;” Oscar was cast as a Native American child. The experience impacted him greatly, and, following his father’s death in 1924, he migrated to California to forge a career as an actor.
