ACT
Despite Raul Julia's talents, opportunities for Latinx actors in the United States in the 1960's were scarce. In this series of two videos from the American Masters film Raul Julia: The World's a Stage, Esai Morales, Edward James Olmos and others discuss how Raul Julia overcame discrimination and made a name for himself as an actor - without losing his Puerto Rican accent or changing his name - breaking new ground and helping to pave the way for Latinx actors today. In the Activity, students explore Shakespeare's text in relationship to themes of diversity and representation.
