Foreign actors


I don't get it? Why didn't they cast Colombian actors to portray Colombians? Why hire foreigners to play Colombian history?

Maybe they found in that foreign actor what they were looking for. I don't mind an international cast as long as they can achieve the accent and make it believable. It took me two words to realize Wagner Moura wasn't a native Spanish speaker but he got better at it and his acting was phenomenal so I kinda forgot about it.

Why cast Daniel Day Lewis in ANYTHING? Why have an an Australian portray a Roman Gladiator? Why have a British thespian play a Sheriff in Georgia during the Zombie Apocalypse? Why is an American in the role of Sherlock Holmes? Why put another Aussie in the role of a Paraplegic American Marine who's sent to an Alien Moon inhabited by 10ft foot tall blue skinned people...with tails? ....cuz they're GOOD ACTORS AND IT'S A ROLE! God...enough with the PC mentality! What's next? Why wasn't a trans-uruguain born-non peanut eating cast as "The Squirrel" in the last Bigfoot movie??
