AGE
Marlon Brando was only 48 when he played the elderly Don Corleone.
in 'The Graduate' Dustin Hoffman is being seduced and chased by the much older woman 'Mrs Robinson'. In reality the two actors were only 6 years apart in age.
the karate kid was 17, portrayed by a 23 year old actor. Very often Hollywood had teens played by people much older. Although the trend seems to be less prevalent now.
Gladiator. Richard Harris, 70, played Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius... who had died by age 58.
IDENTITY
HBO ROME....Ciaran Hinds (irish) as Caesar and Giovanni Calcagno (italian) as Leader of the Gauls, Vercingetorix. So we have a Celt (from beyond the Empire) playing a Roman and a True Roman playing a Barbarian Celt.
The Fonz in 'Happy Days'. Italian ? yeah roight.
Timothy Chalamet in 'The King'.....sounds like a posh englishman. And he also did a good impression of an aristocrat speaking Norman French.
Anthony Hopkins as President Nixon. If we had a quid for every time a Brit played a Yank.....we would be a dollar millionaire. Cross the Atlantic.
Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harper in Dracula......Yanks often are incapable of returning the compliment across the Pond.
Steptoe.....Wilfred Bramble playing a Straight-Cockney Father. He was neither and often fluffed the accent. Bramble got divorced when the wife got impregnated by their lodger. Back in the day, gays were often pressured into getting married by older family members. As per Oscar Wilde.....an irishman badly portrayed by Stephen Fry who didnt even bother to try the accent.
Brad Pitt in Snatch. Apart from a brilliant accent, There is absolutely no way you can be a gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion AND ALSO be that good-looking.
what others ?
