Manny Jacinto addressed his character LT Billy 'Fritz' Avalone being cut from Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' film
Manny Jacinto broke his silence on Top Gun: Maverick cutting all of his dialogue.
“It’s flattering that there was a little bit of an outcry, but it wasn’t shocking to me,” he told GQ magazine in an article published on Wednesday, July 17. “There was this sense of where the film was going , like I can see them focusing the camera more on these guys and not taking so much time on our scenes.'
After finding out that most of his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor, Jacinto chose to use that as 'fuel' as an Asian actor.“At the end of the day, Tom Cruise is writing stories for Tom Cruise,” he noted. “It’s up to us — Asian Americans, people of color — to be that . We can’t wait for somebody else to do it. If we want bigger stories out there, we have to make them for ourselves.
The Acolyte’s creator, Leslye Headland, also weighed in on the outpouring of support for Jacinto, saying, “The Stranger flips classic gender tropes of hypersexualization. But a true sex symbol is someone who resonates emotionally with fans. Manny’s magnetism is rooted in his acting, not just his physique. His ability to access vulnerability, empathy and longing is very compelling.”“He’s like that high school bad boy,” the actor continued. “He just minds his own business.
