How about your favorite American Indian?
Mel Brooks?
Hahaha
If you want to see Kingsley at his best, get "Sexy Beast". He plays the best villain I have ever seen. It is an English movie and sometimes the accents are a little thick (not as bad as "Snatch"). It's a mob movie involving a heist. Very enjoyable.
Another golden oldie...
Milla completely
fooled me. She'd made some movies
in France. She looked so
natural, I thought
she was French and then came here
to hit the big time.
Turns out, she was born
in the Ukraine, she was raised
in California,
and in real life she
talks almost like a val girl.
Sometimes you can't tell.
I guess they DO all look alike!
I honestly can't tell. I work with quite a few Chinese and their facial features and skin tones have at least as much variation as among people from Europe. Some have quite dark skin (compared to mine) while others are even lighter. Some have very flat, angular faces, while other have very European features. They mostly all have dark/black hair, but again that comes in a wide variety of textures. And from what I've seen the Japanese and Koreans are equally varied in their looks.
It's 'cause all the best cowboys have chinese eyes.
That's because Japanese women are too short to play the role.
Basically most of us can't. In Hong Kong up until about 1985 if someone speaks English and looks "white" the local HK Chinese wouldn't be able to tell who's who. A German mixed up with American, or a French mixed up with a New Zealander.
Even today most would not be able to tell an Australian from a British - and even some Americans with New England accents will be confused with Poms.
Last year there was a Japanese TV series about the brother of Pu Yi who married a Japanese princess as his wife on Hong Kong's TVB. The character of Pu Yi and a couple of others were played by Japanese actors/actresses. The results were lots of disgust from HK Chinese: "How could they have Japanese playing Chinese?" etc.
The prejudice runs both ways. Most mainland Chinese TV series about the Sino-Japanese war period have Chinese actors/actresses playing Japanese characters and nary a word of protest is sounded in China.

"On a Sunday night a wizzy afta mah Inaugizzle I used tha radio ta tiznell you `bout tha bank'n crisis n tha measures we were tak'n ta mizzy it n shit. I think thiznat in that way I made clear ta tha country various facts that M-to-tha-izzight otherwise have bizzle misunderstood n in general provided a means of understand'n W-H-to-tha-izzich did much ta restore confidence n shit.
"Tonight, eight weeks bitch I come fo` tha second tizzy ta gizzle you mah report -- in tha same spirit n by tha same means ta tizzle you `bout what we have been doing n whiznat we is doggy stylin' ta do.
"Two months ago we were sippin' serious problems. The country was dying by inches. It was dying coz trade n commerce had declined ta dangerously low levels; prices fo` basic commodizzles were such as ta destroy tha value of tha assets of national institutions such as banks, sav'n banks, insurance companies, n drug deala now pass the glock Anotha dogg house production.. These institutions, coz of they bootylicious needs, were rhymin' mortgages, call'n loans, saggin' credit. Thus there was actually in process of destruction tha property of millions of thugz who had borrowed money on thiznat property in terms of $$ cash-money whiznich had had an entirely different value fizzle tha level of March, 1933 . Relax, cus I'm bout to take my respect. Tizzle situation in T-H-to-tha-izzat crisis did not ciznall fo` any complicated considerizzles of economic panaceas or fancy plans so you betta run and grab yo glock. We wizzle faced by a condition n not a theory."
I believe this is when the Dixiecrat movement started.

BORING!!!
Went and saw it last night..thought it was a very good movie
Thank you.
People should realize this is just a movie. Three of the most exotic and beautiful women in the world get a lot of face time in this movie. That is worth the price of admission right there. Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang in one movie -- that is priceless.
If these women want to play the part of the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus or Tony the Tiger I will be there.
Well, Tony the Tiger wears only a neckerchief. The other two require too much clothing for my tastes...
LOL
