OITNB Star Calls Out Sexist, Agist Casting Call In Perfect Twitter Rant

Damn, Hollywood ― back at it again with the sexist agism.

Jamie Denbo, known for her role as Ginsberg on “Orange is the New Black,” shared her latest experience with Hollywood’s sexist double standards in a series of tweets on May 3.

The 43-year-old actress revealed that at a recent casting call for a TV show, she was told that she was “too old” to play the wife of a 57-year-old male star.

The actress and comedian, who has also appeared in movies including “Spy” and “The Heat,” called out the casting directors and the unnamed actor who apparently wanted his TV-wife to be 38 years old, “tops,” in a passionate thread:

Hollywood has a bad record of sexist and agist casting decisions, thanks in part to a lack of meaty roles for women over 40, and the tendency for older male stars like Tom Cruise (54), Liam Neeson (64) and Richard Gere (67) to be paired with female love interests who are sometimes less than half their age.

Denbo was urged to reveal who the actor demanding a younger love interest is, but could only reveal that the actor is an “American treasure.”
