Sheen told the Telegraph"it's very hard" to accept people who are not Welsh playing Welsh characters. He said:"That's a very different end of the spectrum, but a part like Richard III is such a great character to play, it would be sad to think that that character is no longer available or appropriate for actors to play who don't have disabilities, but that's because I'm just not used to it yet, I suppose.
