Why is it so hard for Americans to get REAL RUSSIANS to play Russian characters in Hollywood movies?
They're always Swedish or Polish or Croatian or some flaky shit.
You're telling me it's easier to find a Croatian than a goddamn Russian?

nobody wants real russians around, better to fake them
the whole point of russian bad guys is having believable evil whites, real russians don't look white enough.
Yeah studios can't get liability insurance to cover them.

Are there even any good russian actors alive anymore?
I mean Oleg Yankovsky died in 2009 too.
No need to. American audience is dumb and ignorant enough to buy anything, no matter how shitty it is, so why bother?
The whole point of acting is to be something you're not. That's why so many British actors play American roles, because they're acting.

Russian mashkov
the point is to get the best actor for the role lol, foreigners play americans all the fucking time and it doesn't detract from the performance

Americans can't stand reading subtitles so they'll hire the best actor for the role and tell him to mimick Eastern European accents and that's it.

>Americans can't stand reading subtitles
that's bullshit, we don't dub anything aside from children's shows and have made hollywood movies with subtitles

i hate this guy
he brought that american """"social""""""" """"""issues""""""" """"""""aware"""""""" whore angelina jolie here
>>52176445
He is half-Italian.
>>52172225
Actors are hired for fitting the role in looks and acting skill
Actors are supposed to be able to imitate different people and accents, that's what being an actor means.
>>52172225
To be honest sometimes they use Russian actors for Russian roles.
But rarely, yes.
Russophobes, what can you do about them tbqh

I love how confused Americans are by male and female surnames. They named Black Widow Natasha Romanov which makes it sound like she's a tranny.
>>52180189
do surnames change depending on gender in slavic languages?
>>52180443
yes
>>52180189
you really think americans are the only ones that dont know about that?
>>52180517
how does it work?
>>52180590
slavic surnames are usually adjectives
adjectives are gendered in slavic languages
>>52180690
interesting
>>52180590
Romanova
Sharapova
Karenina
Fillipova shit like that
>>52172225

They are bad actors. The only actor who tried Viggo Mortensen at least I understand what he speaks on Russian.
>>52180443
Yes, but actually she is not Romanov(a), she is RomanOFF.
>>52180519
Yes.
>>52176943
While that is true, it's usually two-three sentences of whatever language and then everyone switch to English.
This was extra ridiculous in House of Cards where all the Chinese and Russians speak perfect English.
