Jordan Peele has an Oscar, a second hit horror film in Us and growing clout in Hollywood.

And hes determined to use it for good.

In a conversation this week at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in LA, the writer-director said hes committed to casting black actors in his movies most prominent parts.

In fact, he said (per The Hollywood Reporter ), I dont see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie. Not that I dont like white dudes. But Ive seen that movie.

The remark drew laughs, but Peele was serious about the inroads black actors can make, according to THR.

It really is one of the best, greatest pieces of this story, is feeling like we are in this time a renaissance has happened and proved the myths about representation in the industry are false.
