Many many actors would love the opportunity to play Iago. It's a great role. There is no one actor who stands above the rest.
It is unfortunate, but black actors would probably not be allowed to play the part because of their race. This is because Othello is thought of as "a part for a black actor" and many people would be outraged at the idea of a white man playing the part with dark makeup. Consequently, the parts of Iago and Desdemona are not going to go to black people, but to white ones.
If Othello's blackness was thought of as a makeup issue rather than a racial restriction on the casting of the actor, then Iago's and Desdemona's whiteness could also be makeup issues and black actors and actresses would have a chance at those roles.

Actually the question should have been, "What does 'Thou told'st me thou didst hold him in thy hate' mean?" It is from Act I of Shakespeare's play, Othello. In modern English it means, "You told me that you hated him". Roderigo and Iago are arguing about Iago's loyalty to Othello. Roderigo says, "You (Iago) told me (Roderigo) that you (Iago) hated him (Othello). For more information, read the play.

Iago is the antagonist in the Shakespearean tragedy, Othello. He is very vengeful, but seems to have no motives for the things he does to Othello and the other characters. In other words, he is a very flat, two-dimensional character.
Othello initially views Iago as a trustworthy and loyal ensign, relying on him for advice and support. He respects Iago's honesty and judgment, often referring to him as "honest Iago." However, as the play progresses and Othello is manipulated by Iago’s deceit, his perception shifts dramatically, leading to tragic consequences. Ultimately, Othello’s misplaced trust in Iago showcases the themes of betrayal and deception in the play.
