I was just thinking a real life version of the little mermaid should be created (giving the illusion of being underwater), and I was trying to think of actors that could play different characters. I was trying to think of someone large and/or overweight to play Ursula, when I realized that there ARE no large/overweight female actors, at least none that I can think of. There are large male actors like Terry Crews, Mighty Rasta, e.t.c., but no large females. Why is this? Why are there no large/overweight female actors? You can't tell me that there are not some movie roles that would require the aid of large female actors, i.e. the one I have mentioned above. This is just yet another example of hollywood's bias towards thin actresses and its perpetual outcast of anyone who does not look perfect, regardless of how they act. I really think it is a shame that film producers are missing out on so much simply because they refuse to consider certain people.
