Eastern European? America, could you please feature one movie where the Eastern European character (or person of Eastern European descent) ISN'T one of the following:

a vampire
a mobster
an alcoholic mobster
an alcoholic vampire
an evil spy
a prostitute / femme fatale
a general sleazeball

...please?? Or, could you at least make the Slavic vampire, mobster, alcoholic, spy, etc. NICE?

He was orginally meant to be redneck/hick sort of person but they really liked the actor whom they later chose and changed his nationality

Yeah, I prefer this version to the one in the book. At least with this portrayal of Jimmy I get why Gillian fell so hard for him.

^This.

Maybe these actors should be less charming. After all, it's the most charming/suave people who make the best villains (in my opinion).

Save a life. Donate blood.

Its something you'll get used to a mental mind *beep* can be nice!
