| description | In the late 2010’s, the first season of a webseries about LGBT activists was broadcasted for the first time. During the process of casting for the show, the question of what type of comedians should be chosen to embody gay characters arose and a multiplicity of factors played a role in this key decision. On the one hand, the casting directors had their own biases on what constitute a fictional LGBT characters and on how to represent their sexuality, experiences and the gender norms they ought to fit in the context of the series. On the other hand, discussions around the idea of veracity and the possibility of a universal significance of the show were central in the process of selecting the comedians for the roles. In this article, we will discuss the comedians’ body in its materialist sense and analyze the conversations surrounding the subject which occurred during preliminary meetings ahead of casting and during the casting itself. This study is based on a participant observation during which I was able to witness the casting process as well as comprehensive interviews with the team. |
