Aml Ameen (George Murchinson)
I am going to cast Aml Ameen as George Murchinson. I have chosen this actor to play as Asagai because his physical appearance indicates the play's description of this character. George is a young African American man who is wealthy and not afraid to say what is on his mind. He is one of Beneatha's admires and takes her out so he could spend some time with her. Beneatha calls him an assimilationist because he lives an American way of life instead of being proud of his culture like Asagai is. When Beneatha comes out of her room dressed with Nigerian clothes, George tells her to go change because they are going to a theater, she is not going to play in it. He is very surprised to see that Beneatha has cut her hair and decided to keep it natural and he tells her not to be proud of her look and to get dressed. He seems distressed when Beneatha starts to speak about the African American culture. When Walter questions him about what he is learning in school and calls him a faggot, George challenges Walter by calling him bitter (p.1059/60).
