American actress playing a scottish girl?


Is Kate Mara playing a scottish person in this film? I mean personally I don't understand why they never use scottish actresses. I'm from Glasgow and there are plenty of good actresses here.

Just a thought that maybe they should try to find some talented scottish females for a change instead of giving the americans all our roles.

The same could really be said for the main character played by Charlie Cox. Charlie Cox was born in England, still lives in England, and IS English. Which is a bit ironic as the movie is about outwitting the British who (like always) is taking things that don't belong to them. There are many Scottish actors that would have jumped at the chance to be in the film who are equally as talented (if not more so) and as readily available.
