Joseph Fiennes regrets portraying Michael Jackson in controversial film.

Actor Joseph Fiennes expressed regret for his decision to play Michael Jackson in an episode of the anthology series "Urban Myths" in a recent interview with The Guardian. The episode, which was about Jackson, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor taking a cross-country road trip after 9/11, was pulled before it aired due to backlash over Fiennes' casting. Fiennes took partial credit for the decision to pull the episode and acknowledged that it was a "bad call" and a "bad mistake."
