		</div><p>We’ve just listened to UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond give his British Budget statement.<br />
There was a lot in it but there was also something big missing: Brexit.</p>
<p>The word was not said once in the whole 55-minute speech and people have been left feeling stunned.</p>
<p>Samuel L Jackson has criticised the casting of black British actors in American films.<br />
The star noted that a lot of roles were going to British talent, when it might have been beneficial to have American actors play those parts.</p>
<p>He told US radio station Hot 97: “I don’t know what the love affair with all that is.<br />
“Everybody needs to work … but we’ve got a lot of brothers here that need to work too.”</p>
<p>Samuel, 68, cited horror movie Get Out, which stars British actor Daniel Kaluuya, and said he wondered what it would have been like “with an American brother who really feels that”.</p>
<p>The movie, which is about an African-American photographer whose white girlfriend takes him home to meet her family, recently topped the US box office.</p>
<p>“Daniel grew up in a country where they’ve been interracial dating for a hundred years,” he said.<br />
“What would a brother from America have made of that role?<br />
“Some things are universal, but (not everything).”</p>
<p>Samuel also pointed to 2015 Martin Luther King Jr drama Selma, which starred British actor David Oyelowo as King.</p>
<p>“There are some brothers in America who could have been in that movie who would have had a different idea about how King thinks or about how King felt,” he said.</p>
<p>Asked why British actors were so successful across the pond, he said: “They’re cheaper than us, for a start. They don’t cost as much.”</p>
<p>He said film-makers also tend to assume British actors are better because they are classically trained.</p>
