Is it just me or is this disgusting fuck being astroturfed as all fuck by the entertainment industry due to Dylan Mulvaney tanking his career due to the Bud Light boycott? I guess Hollywood and the entertainment industry need a new astroturfed tranny to sway and influence the masses. Too bad Olly Boy is wholly repugnant and comes off as more creepy then Mulvaney.
Horses for courses. Dylan was picked up because on paper he was the ideal trans brand spokesperson - a super gay guy who had all the sexuality of one of those toilet roll doll covers and silly and giddy and into fashion and makeup. His handlers misstepped with how offputting he actually is, but he's still miles away from AGP Ollie waving his latex-clad hog around in terms of marketability. Ollie doesn't get brand sponsorships besides Nebula.
Ollie's grift is effectively diversity hire - producers want a transgender actress to show how inclusive their casting or screenwriting is, and they don't necessarily want a complete unknown. You might be going for Americans - you've got the cast of Pose, Laverne Cox, Janet Mock, Hari Nef, Hunter Schafer, Jamie Clayton, Jen Richards, Trace Lysett etc etc... but you might not have budget for "big names" or you might be looking for a British trans actress (either for a British production, or it's easier to sort work visas for a minor character etc if you're shooting in Europe).
If you want a British trans actress you're basically either going for a complete unknown or:
Rebecca Root
Starred in a BBC 2 sitcom about a trans woman (no I'd not heard of it either), and has acted in some high budget productions like The Danish Girl, Collette, The Sister Brothers and The Queen's Gambit (also voiced the trans character in the Harry Potter game);
Yamin Finney
Breakout character from Heartstopper, will be playing an alternate universe(?) black transgender Rose Tyler in Doctor Who
Abigail Thorne
Minor speaking role in a BBC sitcom, minor speaking role in Django, apparently a minor role in the new Star Wars tv show, and
is currently cast as Naomi in Again, Again (no I hadn't heard of it either). Has also acted on stage and other extra work etc etc
If you're looking for a minor stunt cast, Ollie does actually make a lot of sense. Not because he's famous, but if you're looking to cast a British trans actress for whatever reason then he'll likely be cheap and you can at least trust him to turn up to set and learn his lines (acting ability neither here nor there).
