HBO is planning on doing a movie on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior, and has advertised for actors who would like to play the role of Dr. King. HBO clearly identified in the ad that applicants must be between 30 and 50 years old, and have the physical appearance of an African-American male. Some actors applied for the job and were turned down because they don't meet these physical requirements. If these actors bring an EEO complaint, which of the following is most correct? a. the requirement that the actor have the physical appearance of an African-American man is a permissible bona fide occupational requirement because the actor must look like Dr. King.
b. the requirement that the actor must be between 30-50 years of age is permissible because the movie is covering Dr. King in that age range.
c. both of the above are entirely correct statements.
d. neither of the above are correct statements.
