The guy chosen to play Jud in our HS production was a kid who was very dark and had quite dark stubble which he let grow for several days before the actual show (this was 1961 when guys had to be clean-shaven all the time) so he looked very menacing. He also had a very deep voice.

One of my friends, the year before, had done "South Pacific" in his (very very white) HS. He said he was quite appalled at how racist it was. Surprised me, really, that he picked up on it.
