Oscar winner Viola Davis has regretted working in the critically acclaimed film "The Help", saying she had issues with portrayal of its lead character.
Davis, 53, had portrayed black maid Aibileen Clark in Tate Taylor's period drama for which she had received a Best Actress nomination at the 84th Academy Awards.
In an interview with New York Times at the Toronto Film Festival, Davis was asked whether she regretted any role that she passed on and the actor said there "have been one or two".
She then added, "Have I ever done roles that I've regretted? I have, and 'The Help' is on that list."
