LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A Vietnamese actor branded a traitor by the Hanoi government and placed under virtual house arrest for appearing in an American-made Vietnam War film has broken his silence to call the charges against him "ridiculous" and "cruel."

This is disgusting and beyond belief.

His movie performance was simple outstanding and demonstrated the VC side of the conflict very well.

What am I saying?

Burn him at the stake! The only good Gook is a dead Gook!

Well, from remarks I've seen from different FReepers, they'd like to jail some of our own actors. Come to think of it, I myself wouldn't raise much of a fuss over a jailing of some of those traitors!

The Vietnamese really wanted Jane Fonda to play the role of the VC commander...
