I think perhaps the William Castle film Homicidal should be included. But I don't feel I should unilaterally insert it. Vardavas (talk) 04:59, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's worth putting up there. ElowynEggEater (talk) 04:12, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given the rise in awareness of cis actors playing trans characters, and the associated harms that come from cis men playing trans women specifically – see for example

Hmm, perhaps, or we could do something like the List of autistic fictional characters page, and note specific actors who are trans, as going through the page this morning (only going to the people who have pages on here) only finds the following as trans and playing trans characters in films noted on this page:

• Mina Orfanou
• Harmony Santana
• Michelle Hendley
• Laverne Cox
• Mya Taylor
• Kitana Kiki Rodriguez
• Daniela Vega
• Hari Nef
• Leo Sheng
• Nicole Maines
• Mya Bollaers
• Leyna Bloom
• Eva Reign

There are likely even more among those entries which list names of actors, but these actions have no biography pages on here, as they have been deemed as non-notable, unfortunately. Historyday01 (talk) 14:20, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
