Actor Quote by Emma D'Arcy
“The reason it's important is that there was a point, earlier in my career, where I really worried that it wasn't possible to be an actor if you aren't a cisgendered person. Typically, within casting sites, there are two columns, and I wondered if those two identities were going to have to live separately in order for me to have a career.”
