NEW YORK AP The Actors Equity council will reconsider barring a white English actor from playing a Eurasian in Miss Saigon after petitions signed by more than 100 members. Spokesman Dick Moore said the council will meet Thursday to discuss Jonathan Pryce who drew praise in London. The ban led producer Cameron Mackintosh to cancel Broadway run despite a 25 million dollar advance. Petitions circulated backstage at several Broadway shows including The Phantom of the Opera Les Miserables and Cats urging reversal.
