Does popular = good?

I can't answer for GC, but it doesn't matter a whit for me if a gay man plays straight or a straight man plays gay, or if Linda Hunt plays a man. Who gives a fig? These are actors. The whole point is to portray something you are not, and do it convincingly.

And I don't need to have similar personal experiences to empathize with any particular character or situation ... but when that co-incidence happens, it can make for a stronger effect on me.

or not. All depends on execution.

And popular usually is some indicator of good. Except for when it's not.
