The Screen Actors Guild has released some startlingly sad facts about diversity in film and TV.
Unfortunately, minorities, seniors and female actors haven't been making much progress recently when it comes to roles in film and television.
In 2007, minority actors were at a higher number, receiving 29.3 percent of total roles. In 2008, that went down to 27.5 percent.
The percentage breakdown of film and television roles from 2008 was 72.5 percent Caucasian, 13.3 percent African American, 6.4 percent Latino, 3.8 percent Asian-Pacific Islander, 0.3 percent Native American and 3.8 percent other or unknown.
That's pretty pathetic!
Also, not surprisingly, male actors continue to snag the roles over female actors two to one.
The only gain for minority groups was from Asian-Pacific Islanders growing from 3.4 percent to 3.8 percent. Which still isn't that much when you think about it!
Come on, Hollywood! Step up the diversity and get it together!
