How Does One Man Play an Arab, Mexican and Samoan?

[OVER]

I know he's playing a Hispanic on FTWD but I always assumed he was an Indian.

Mark Margolis is another race bending actor

He's Jewish but his most famous roles are as a Mexican in Breaking Bad and a Cuban in Scarface. He has also played Irish and other white roles like in Californication he was David Dacovini's dad.

Robert LaSardo is typecast as a Mexican cholo but he's actually Italian.

Hollywood refuses to give Mexicans roles as Mexicans even with all those damn Mexicans in California. Wtf?

I knew who you were talking about before opening the thread! Always thought he was hispanic until I looked him up.

so did I...I said in my mind...she talking about that training day fake cholo guy who is also the Rock brother in that dobbs movie

I don’t know him by name but I knew exactly who you were talking about before I googled the name for confirmation lol

It’s even funnier because he is actually a good actor. He is a Hollywood teams dream, can stick him in any role

I watched blow and training day many times but it never clicked it was the same guy.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

He be getting that money however he can get it

until Hobbs and Shaw I to always thought he was Hispanic. He as even Mexican at the latest in Fear The Walking Dead

 

[Jello Biafra]

His full name is Clifford Vivian Devon Curtis...it's like his parents knew what he would be doing as a career from Day 1.

Anthony Quinn the original Mexican actor. Rip.

 

[R=G]

They need to have him play as an Asian and a cac just for giggles and be done with it!

I knew it had to be him

 

[The Plug]

tbh, some races look similar. Even some asians and mexicans look damn near the same.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

actually, no he wasn't.

his wife/kid was, but they actually portrayed him as his native ethnicity.

you don't remember the scene where they mention he's maori? It was I believe the first or second season. It was when they were tryna get the boat...they met that one family w/ the kids.
