In the Season 3 Opener of “Louie”, we finally meet the ex-wife and she was quite a surprise. Louis CK hired a black actress to play the ex-wife that we’d previously heard about but never seen. His two daughters are fair skinned and blond. Now we’re not geneticists, but it seems like the chances that both of these blond children are the product of the those two parents are on the low side. Do these kind of choices take you out of a film or TV series or does good acting and the fun of surprise triumph? We want to know what you think.
