NEWS: Beyond the Boundary's English Dub Casts Krystal LaPorte as Mirai Kuriyama

@xstylus Wait, they really fully recast the fmc of such a prominent franchise?! Must have been some bout...

"She was blackedlisted because they said she caused the symptoms of what we now know was my emphysema. I wanted to speak out the moment it happened but needed my job and insurance. I assume they are trying to erase the fact they ever did something so cruel and stupid."

"Honestly I think this was more of a punishment for me for finally starting to speak out, since once I got my lungs they had no more ways to hurt me. All I can say is I am so proud of the work I originally did and nothing they do can take that away."

Lynzee seems to be aware of this, so I imagine we'll see an article soonish

She originally said she didn’t know because they refused to give her a reason that she was not allowed to work. Even though they said their problem was with my tiredness, bad health, irritability and lack of focus, she refused to believe it was not actually her fault. I had never had any major problems with the company until this point. They noted that since she and I started seeing each other my health had gone down hill I was always irritable, tired and unable to focus (which I found out later were all symptoms of my disease). So as angry as I was I couldn’t say anything without getting fired and just kept my head down and took a smoke break whenever I could. When I finally collapsed, I spent a lot of that time worried that they would/could do something to take my insurance away. I had her stay quiet as well because I knew I was/am facing huge medical expenses for that I needed insurance. So until I felt a little safer I thought it best to stay quite. I have felt guilty for not speaking out immediately but didn’t feel safe to say anything until a little before my transplant. I did start talking more over a year ago and I’ve explained she was blamed for my symptoms for a while now. So that’s kind of a breakdown so you can see what seems like contradicting things we’ve said are really not at all. As for the offer thing. For one if you’ve heard that it’s a rumor I certainly never heard and is very not true. I have, whenever I was allowed, auditioned people for my shows and if you look at the cast lists I always try to use new actors in almost every show I’ve done. I like starting an actor in small roles and get a feel for what they can do and move them into larger roles. So it should be noted the only lead I ever cast Krystal in was BTB. There are far more actresses that I’ve consistently cast in leads. (Also to be noted that after Amagi the lead in my shows were not cast by my and with BTB they had me make casting changes in the cast after we had finished recording at the request of the Japanese licensor. Obviously Krystal was not replaced.) I also know that the company doesn’t have a problem with family and partners working together when you look at the great work my brother and I, Tiffany Grant and Matt Greenfield, John Swasey and his daughter and their production managers and some of their assistants do together.

Hope this clears things up. Love and Laughter Always -Chris-
