You know, Keith, I'm having the reverse issue that you speak of: "We think much alike in that star casting thing. I don't know that I'd cast Rourke as a Russian, though. I have issues with the frequent casting of Americans in foreign roles, when surely there are good foreign-born actors who don't have to fake the accent."
There are so many non-American actors playing Americans in movies, and especially on TV, of late that I'm beginning to wonder. Someone made the argument that if you're US-born, your career should be made by your thirties, so if we want fresh actors (not those tainted by disney, paris hilton, strange baby names, or weird healthfood or interplanetary religious trends) we have to go abroad. Bull Hockey! I say... even if I do like Hugh Laurie (loved him in blackadder) and that guy from Life.
