it seems all the three guys have a history of playing russians in movies. Aleksander Krupa also played serbian. It seems slavs from different countries do really look a like. Or is it only a stereotype?

No, it is not a stereotype. All Slavs from Russia to Macedonia look East Baltid, like all Germanics from Iceland to Tyrol look Nordid.

Leonardo DiCarprio is of Italian,German,Russian descent in real.
British actor Jude Law played a Russian, I think he looks typically British Nordid (Keltic-Nordid) but can be an East-Nordid (Russian Nordid)

John Malkovic - Teddy KGB in Rounders. Brilliant actor but pretty bad with accents he said a "yob tvayu mat" once though :) He's of slavic ancestry so phenotypically he's not that off.

Viggo Mortensen - Nikolai Luzhin in Eastern Promises. Brilliant actor and very good with foreign languages. He's probably the only non-russian that spoke intelligible russian.

Stellan was good in Savior, but both with Dennis Quaid just play volunteers..

Yes, russians are disproportionately portraited as some sort of caucasian (from caucasus).
It's rare to see a blonde russian in American movies.

Gary Oldman (as Ivan Korzhunov) in Air Force One, playing one of Hollywoods favourite type of russians - the violent kind that went off his rocker.
