Italian American actress Jennifer Esposito complained about not being chosen for roles because she isn’t “white enough,” in a recent Facebook post. “Have a question for my actor friends – ever get totally blocked by casting directors?” Jennifer Esposito wrote on her Facebook page.

She continued airing her complaints in the comments, writing, “I did a play as a young just starting out actress and a more established actress in the play told me- ‘change your last name’ she was 10000% right. It was Marisa Tomei. She knew what she was about it.”
