Hi.


This is all very slow so I come up with this thread.

It has always gotten my attention how actors and actresess of different ethincities play Mexicans in Hollywood movies.


Some quick reminding:


Who doent know the Good, The bad and the Ugly movie?.


"The Ugly", Mexican gunsman "Tuco" was played by Ely Wallach of jewish ethnicity, he played a very convincing Mexican tho.





Charles Bronson Himself played a half mexican-half irish character, Bernardo O'Reilly in the Magnificent Seven.





Bronson was of Lipka Tatar and Lithuanian heritage.
