RE: nationality Aug 3 2009, 3:24 AM EDT \| Post edited: Aug 3 2009, 3:24 AM EDT It's actually really, really common for actors to play characters that are not of their own ethnic extraction... for instance, Simon Pegg in Star Trek is English, but his character Scotty is, obviously, Scottish. It's not at all unusual, particularly in the states, where nationalities end up all mixed up and combined half the time, for actors who are ethnically Korean to play Chinese or Japanese characters and I figure it's much the same with actors of European descent. Not to mention Enver as Victor is not necessarily Russian. Only one of his imprints, Lubov, was Russian. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
