You Know That This Is My Favorite Topic

Trans actresses/actors.

We are starting to make inroads in the large and small screens with more trans actors on television (other than talk shows) and more trans people in the movies.

If unlikely to change the industry in that regard, this year's A Fantastic Woman, directed by Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, promises to set a good example for it. The story follows Marina, a young transgender waitress in love with an older man: When he dies suddenly, Marina confronts his family members, who reject both their relationship and her identity. Marina, the titular fantastic woman, is played by real-life transgender actress Daniela Vega, who awards pundits are already projecting may make Academy Awards history next year as the first transgender woman to be nominated in a major category. Regardless, her film will diversify this year's box office; it will also introduce viewers to a major new talent.
There has been a number of other independent films with trans actors, such as “And Then There Was Eve” which won the LA Muse Fiction Award at the LA Film Festival.

Then from a couple of years ago “Boy Meets Girl” which starred Michelle Hendley and won numerous awards around the country.

The best actress or actor for a movie is becoming a trans actress/actor.
