5、classifjcation of talent is based on what each individual has publicly shared or identifjed as.This includes racial/ethnic heritage,as well as gender and various LGBTQ+identities.As such,there are some actors who remain uncategorized within the dataset and were excluded from this analysis.Nonbinary

6、gender classifjcation is inclusive of:gender nonconforming,two-spirit,genderfmuid,genderqueer,agender,androgynous,questioning and gender expansive.Actors with intersectional identities are included in the counts for each diverse group that they identify as.For example,a multiracial or multiethnic ac

7、tor who identifjes as Black and Latin/Hispanic would be included in the counts for both groups.Further,if that actor identifjed as LGBTQ+,they would also be included in that count.Disability classifjcation is categorized into three areas,which include:1)physical disabilities(visible and non-visible)

8、,2)d/Deaf(encompassing hearing loss and hard of hearing),and 3)neurodiversity(including autism spectrum disorder,generalized anxiety disorder,ADHD,and others).4Since our last publishing of this report in late 2021,the latest data shows that one of the biggest trends pertaining to diversity and repre

9、sentation on screen is the creation of stories that refmect intersectionality.The idea that each individual is defjned by multiple identities across race,gender,ethnicity,sexuality,ability,etc.,is a reality that seems to be increasingly taken into consideration by Hollywoods content creators,allowin

10、g fjlms and series to better explore and refmect the nuances of the human experience.For example,some of the biggest standouts in Black representation in fjlm were centered around the stories of Black women(see Woman King and Black Panther:Wakanda Forever).Hulus Fire Island is another great example

11、that showcases a broad spectrum of the queer experience,including cast members who identify as gay,nonbinary,bisexual and from a full range of racial and ethnic backgrounds.The other clear trend that has emerged is the proliferation of non-English language content availability in the United States.T

12、he growth of available“primetime”content in languages like Spanish,Korean,Arabic,and Japanese has meant a marked increase in the representation of talent from those backgrounds and has provided multilingual audiences with relevant content.However,this doesnt fjx the problem of lack of diverse domest

60、 two years,12 seasons of TV shows featured 15 or more Latin/Hispanic talent on screen.11 of them were on Netfmix,and 10 of those were Spanish language content(largely imported from Spanish-speaking countries).The talent in these 12 seasons represented 22%of all Latin/Hispanic talent in series over t

67、 investment in in-language content,largely Korean.The total number of Asian main title cast and directors in fjlm increased in 2022(18.5%and 13.5%respectively).This meant that Asian talent represented 7.7%of all main title cast roles and 5.9%of directors roles.And certainly when it comes to critical

68、 success of these fjlms,the 2022 release of Everything,Everywhere,All at Once set the bar.Despite this one very visible fjlms ability to tell a multidimensional story(both meta physically and emotionally)about an Asian-American family,there is still plenty of progress to be made in representing Asia

70、 in 2022 were Asian,though that number was also up from only 1.1%in 2021.The brightest spot was perhaps that 38.4%of all series that premiered a season in 2022 had at least one Asian series regular,again a modest growth from 36.5%the year prior.%Asian Series Regulars9.1%6.7%20222021%Asian Series Cre

94、low.For example,there were only 8 main title cast roles over the past two years for people who identify as having a disability.Its hard to make a comment about progress one way or the other with a number that small,but it did decrease from 5 roles in 2021 to 3 in 2022.This meant that only 0.5%of fjl

99、 because he is.He alone accounts for over 10%of series regular roles that went to actors with a disability over the past two years for his role in Peacocks reboot of Queer as Folk,and then for Netfmixs Special in which he is both the creator and leading actor.Ryan is open about his journey as a gay

101、 community.Casting for actors with disabilities is not as simple as putting a token actor on screen.There are multiple roles that are required to provide the full spectrum of visibility.Some roles require the characters disability to be central to the storyline and cannot be unlinked from the narrat

102、ive;the other side of the spectrum requires casting teams and directors to see the ability of any role to be fjlled by an actor with a disability.Alaqua Coxs role in Disney+s Hawkeye is a great example of the fjrst side of the representation spectrum.Cox,who was born deaf and is part of the Menomine
