[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Antonio Banderas has played an Arab, a Mexican, a Chilean, a Spaniard and an American. Do people have a problem with that?[/quote] Exactly. Take a look at Ben Kingsley's range. He's of Indian descent, yet has played a Brit, an Egyptian, a German Jew, and yes - an Indian (Gandhi). What difference does it make, as long as an actor or actress can look and act the part? That's why it's called *acting.* :roll: [/quote] I think the point is that there are tons of rolls for Caucasian people and there aren't as many for people of Arabic and Indian and other Middle Eastern descent. It would be nice if those roles could go to those actors when the opportunity arises. Don't you think? And it does show kind of eurocentrism to think that Indians are interchangeable with other people of Middle Eastern descent. [/quote]
