Tom Hooper, the Oscar-winning director of The Danish Girl, a film about a man who transitions into a woman, told ABC that Hollywood needs to “do more to create a level playing field” for transgender actors.
Recently, Hollywood has touted Bruce Jenner’s transition, shows such as Transparent and Tangerine starring transgendered characters have been mainstreamed, the Netflix hit Orange is the New Black stars a real-life transgender actor, Laverne Cox, the 2014 film Dallas Buyer’s Club stars a transgender character, and of course there is the success of The Danish Girl. But Hooper still claims that more must be done for transgender actors in Hollywood.
