Despite his changing hue due to vitiligo in the latter years of his life, pop king Michael Jackson was a Black man.

But the casting directors of new series ‘Urban Myths,’ seemed to miss that memo when they casted WHITE actor Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson in the eight part series that recreates rumored tales about what celebrities were doing after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
