Fake Nationality	comment	When an actor plays a native of a nationality or area other than their own. Not counting those actors who play an extraterrestrial, who are never from the same place as their character. Probably. Nowadays can be known as Colorblind Casting (though that focuses more on the actor and character's race than their nationality). Israeli Jewish and Arab actors tend to wind up playing each other quite frequently (though Israeli-for-Arab is more common than the other way around). Gung-ho movies made during World War II featured every kind of Asian except Japanese, since the Japanese-American actors were otherwise occupied. Many Nazi characters were played by Jewish actors, with some of the actors being European Jews who fled Nazi persecution. And very few Russian characters during the Cold War were played by native Russians. For foreign actors who are frequently employed to play foreign characters, see Plays Great Ethnics. This is much more common in voice-acting because the actor's appearance is irrelevant, and a good voice actor can hide their accent or imitate well a foreign one. The Queen's Latin is a related trope where characters in Ancient Grome or other classical-to-medieval settings are usually played by Brits, no matter what part of Europe they're actually from. See also: Fauxreigner where the character is pretending to be a nationality they aren't (or acting more stereotypical than they actually usually do). If you are actually from the area in question, you may remember one or more of these examples as "That foreigner with a strange accent. Where are they supposed to be from?" On the other hand, some actors are really good at it. An added complication is that human appearance varies even within nationalities and ethnicities. As a result when playing a historical character the foreigner might have been selected because they greatly resembled the original. An actor who often does this well Plays Great Ethnics. When done poorly, it can result in Questionable Casting. Compare Irony as She Is Cast. See Pass Fail when, for whatever reason, the actor isn't convincing as another nationality.

The catch phrase and the accent are later mocked by Farva near the end of the film. One of the running gags in the film is the fact that no one can quite figure out Ramathorn's ethnicity, if only by the process of elimination, due to him being Ambiguously Brown (he's not black, Mexican, or Arab). The actor Jay Chandrasekhar is actually American of Tamil descent.

Even after they returned as El Comando CaribeÃ±o, a good deal of the members still weren't from the Caribbean (although Veneno was from Panama and El Hijo del Pierroth from The Dominican Republic). In the case of Comandante Pierroth, it could be considered a case of Boomerang Bigot and Les Collaborateurs since he was known as a Mexican before joining but all the same, Julio Estrada was the only Puerto Rican in of these groups initially and wasn't even the main focus. With the return of Camando CaribeÃ±o Estrada wasn't even around any longer, Zeuxis taking his place as the only Puerto Rican. Veteran Puerto Rican wrestler Rico Suave also associated with them when passing through Mexico, bringing the real Puerto Ricans to 16% of the group's alumni, Caribs 25%.

Sabu attempts to maintain the illusion by not speaking in public, though he has been overheard speaking to his opponents during matches in a perfectly American accent. At one point, ECW were billing him as from "Bombay, Michigan" as an in-joke. At the same time, his tag-team partner, Rob Van Dam, was billed as being from "Battle Creek, India".

Fake Nationality / int_144ea6e4	comment	The Moorish title character in Othello is often played by a white man (with or without blackface) in settings without many African actors. The first actor of African descent to be recorded playing Othello was in 1825, more than 200 years after the play was written. One thing to note is that "Moor" in Shakespeare's time usually referred to North-African Berbers, while most people of African decent in the Anglosphere derive from sub-Saharan Africa, so even modern actors commonly look very different from how the role was probably envisioned.

The Actor's Equity Association would not allow Jonathan Pryce, who had created the role of The Engineer in London, to play the role on Broadway. According to them, allowing Pryce, a white man, made up to look like an Asian in the show, would be an affront to Asian actors. A counterargument was that the Engineer is of mixed descent (French-Vietnamese), and Pryce was being discriminated against for being white. After pressure from Cameron Mackintosh, the producer, the general public, and its own members, the AEA relented and Jonathan Pryce was allowed to recreate his role on Broadway.

Fake Nationality / int_2b113e02	comment	1999's The Mummy is a festival of Fake Nationality. Its Egyptian/Arabic characters include Ardeth Bey (portrayed by Israeli Oded Fehr), professor Terrance Bey (Erick Avari, British-Indian), Gad Hassan (Omid Djalili, British-Iranian), and of course its titular mummy Imhotep, played by Arnold Vosloo (Afrikaner South African) as well as his ancient girlfriend Anck Su Namun (Patricia Velasquez, Venezuelan). The Mummy Returns adds in The Scorpion King, played by Dwayne Johnson (Samoanâ€“Black Canadianâ€“American). It gets better: Arab-British Evelyn Carnahan (she states her mother was Egyptian) is played by Jewish-English actress Rachel Weisz, while her brother (presumably from the same mother) is played by Scottish actor John Hannah, and American Rick O'Connell, is played by Canadian Brendan Fraser. Fehr himself is something of an expert in Fake Nationality, as he also played Saudi terror mastermind Faris Al-Farik in the TV show Sleeper Cell. His character in Sleeper Cell even lampshades this by pretending to be Jewish. There's also Benny, who according to supplemental materials is supposed to be Hungarian, is played by Chicago-born Irish-American Kevin J. O'Connor.

British-Sudanese actor Alexander Siddig played Hamri al-Assad, a presumably Lebanese terrorist mastermind turned Atoner. Sean Majumder played an Arab terrorist on the show, despite being half East Indian and half Newfie. In a particularly jarring example, American Dennis Hopper played Big Bad Victor Drazen, a Serbian warlord. Indian-American actor Kal Penn playing an Arab of indeterminate origin. Aki Avni, an Israeli (of Turkish-Jewish descent), plays an Arab terrorist. For about twelve seconds. And Jack Bauer is played by a Canadian actor of British ancestry. Damn it!!! Anil Kapoor, a Bollywood (Indian) superstar, is playing a character of presumably Iranian origin, though not a terrorist, but a foreign President. Australian John Noble played a minor antagonist on the series who was Russian. Australian actor Nick Jameson also played a Russian character: Yuri Suvarov, the president of the country. Peter Wingfield played David Emerson, a bad guy from the African nation of "Sangala", without his native-born Welsh accent. (He has also used, with varying degrees of success, an Irish accent on "NCIS:LA" and Russian on an episode of "Endgame".)

Most notable were Englishman Jeremy Irons as Aramis, Irishman Gabriel Byrne as D'Artagnan, American John Malkovich as Athos, American Peter Sarsgaard as his son, and American Leonardo DiCaprio as King Louis XIV, none of whom particularly bothered to disguise their country of origin. This was made particularly noticeable by having an actual Frenchman, GÃ©rard Depardieu, round out the cast. Hilariously, the only accents that did match were John Malkovich and Peter Sarsgaard, playing father and son, and only because both men happen to hail from St. Louis.

In Moonraker, the minor villain Chang has a Chinese name, but was played by a Japanese actor. For Your Eyes Only has three fake Greeks, a fake Belgian, two fake East Germans and a fake Russian, at least. That's before we get to the Liverpudlian character who's putting on an Austrian accent. Vincent Schiavelli, an Italian-American, stole his brief scene in Tomorrow Never Dies as the German Dr. Kaufman. No Time to Die has David Dencik (Swedish-Danish) and Rami Malek (American of Egyptian descent) as fake Russians.

Fake Nationality / int_62f94c6	comment	The Dark Knight Trilogy is another festival of Fake Nationality, mostly of British actors pretending to be American, such as Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, and Tom Wilkinson. Other Fake Americans include Irishmen Cillian Murphy and Liam Neeson (note: it was never stated Ducard was American, but Neeson uses an American accent), Dutch Rutger Hauer, and Australians Heath Ledger and Ben Mendelssohn. In fact, the only actual principal American actors on set were Morgan Freeman, Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart. Singaporean Chinese actor Chin Han played the Chinese Lau, and French actress Beatric Rosen pulled a Fake Russian as Natascha, prima ballerina of the Moscow Ballet. The third film retcons Ducard as vaguely Middle Eastern, though he doesn't look the part. It's also possible he was simply an American in the employ of the warlord. And his daughter is played by a Frenchwoman who passes as Fake American. And from the same place comes Bane (half-British and half-Latin American in the comics), played by a Brit.

The Spartans are played predominantly by British and Irish actors rather than Greeks. They speak the Queen's Latin. Fittingly, when Spartan dialogue in classic literature was translated into English, it was usually given a Scottish Funetik Aksent to evoke the similar stereotypes embodied by the Spartans and Scots in their respective cultures.

Actual Austrians are rare in the cast. The real Luigi Lucheni was Italian. In the musical he's almost always played by a German actor (or a Turkish actor, in the case of Serkan Kaya). Inevitable in the international productions. The Japanese versions (both Takarazuka and Toho) have Japanese actors playing Austrians/Italians/Germans. Ditto with the South Korean versions.

The band is Japanese, but almost all of the Rock Opera albums are set outside of East Asia (Ancient Greece, 14th century Germany, France, etc). Obviously, it's rather difficult to find German or French performers that can sing live in fluent Japanese, so Japanese people playing Westerners it is.

The entire production used four voice actors: Charlie Adler (Cobra Commander for the first time, Flint, Gung-Ho, Stalker, and Hard Master) Eric Bauza (Storm Shadow, Destro, and Tunnel Rat), Steve Blum (Duke, Ripcord, Roadblock, Zartan, Wild Bill, and Doc), and Grey DeLisle (Scarlett, Baroness, Dail Tone, and Cover Girl). Both Adler and Blum are Jewish-American, Bauza is Filipino-Canadian, and DeLisle is an American of mixed Dutch/French/Irish/Mexican/Norwegian descent and outside of Gender Flipping Dial Tone and Resolute following GI Joe The Rise Of Cobra's lead of Race Lifting Ripcord into an African-American, the characters still retain the nationalities and races of most other incarnations (Destro being Scottish; Baroness being Russian; Doc, Roadblock, and Stalker being African-American; Tunnel Rat being Chinese-American; Zartan being Australiannote despite one file card saying he's French; and Storm Shadow and Hard Master being Japanese).

In Star Trek Into Darkness, Khan is played by the white British Benedict Cumberbatch. Chicago-born Walter Koenig, son of two Russian Jews, as Russian Pavel Chekov. Star Trek: The Original Series has a Canadian (William Shatner) playing an American (James T. Kirk), another Canadian (James Doohan) playing a Scotsman (Scotty), an American (Nichelle Nichols) playing an African (Uhura), and a Japanese-American (George Takei) playing a non-Japanese Asian-American (Sulu). The only regular character portrayed by an actor of the same nationality was McCoy, a U.S. Southerner played by a Georgia-born actor with a slight-but-legit Southern accent (DeForest Kelley). Star Trek: The Next Generation has an Englishman (Patrick Stewart) playing a Frenchman (Picard), an American (LeVar Burton) playing an African (Geordi LaForge), and another American (Denise Crosby) playing someone of Ukrainian descent (Yar). Admittedly, Yar was not Earth-born; she was born and raised on a human colony on a completely different planet. LaForge's actual origins are deliberately vague—he's a Military Brat whose parents moved wherever Starfleet sent them. All we know for sure is that his mother was in Africa when he was born. Enterprise has a Korean-American (Linda Park) playing a Japanese woman (Hoshi). But in general, the later series were more accurate, with human characters either played by actors of appropriate nationality, or being from worlds other than Earth.

Also, the only villain with his or her own nationality is Mola Ram: Paul Freeman and Ronald Lacey are British, Belloq is French and Toht is German; Julian Glover is British, Donovan is American (but considering he played a Greek James Bond villain...); and Cate Blanchett is Australian, Irina Spalko is Soviet - Ukraine, actually. Glover's (natural?) Scottish-sounding accent slips in a scene near the end, when he is saying: "The Nazis want to write themselves into the Grail legend....take on the world." I don't think this hurts the film too much; I just took it to mean that Donovan either was an immigrant or had one or two foreign-born parents, and so grew up with that accent before he tried to change it.

The Californian Nathan Vetterlein voices the Scout, a Bostonian trying to pretend to be a New Yorker, for example.

In the video game his character was supposed to be of Japanese/American descent, but for the film, his character was played by the white, Australian accented Trevor Goddard. Unfortunately, Goddard was a Brit who only pretended to be an Australian in the belief that it would further his acting career, and his fake Australian accent makes Kano sound more like some sort of iffy Cockney. Thus not only did the character have a Fake Nationality but the man portraying him did as well. If that wasn't enough, the game developers liked Goddard's performance so much that they eventually decided to Retcon the character to be wholly Australian, but since the actor's nationality was fake it meant that the character's still was too.

Fake Nationality / int_d56cafaf	comment	Power Rangers RPM has a New Zealander playing the extremely Scottish Flynn McAlisteir. He made a game effort on the accent, at least. Not to mention the full cast of Fake Americans in nearly every season from 2003-2009 (SPD being the only exception)''. When Saban got the series back, they began casting Americans as the core Rangers again, though filming's still taking place in New Zealand and therefore there are plenty of extras, mentors, and side characters who fall into this. Power Rangers Samurai has the sort-of Mexican Antonio played by a Thai-German-American actor. Power Rangers Dino Charge had the Brazilian-born American actor Davi Santos and the white New Zealand actor Jarred Blakiston both playing rangers from Zandar, a fictional European country. Power Rangers Ninja Steel had Will Shewfelt (American, Arab, Desi heritage) and Jordi Webber (New Zealand, Maori heritage) playing American Latino brothers. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers had Thuy Trang, a Vietnamese-American actress, playing a character of mixed Taiwanese and Korean ancestry (if you count the comics as canon). In the show, her ancestry is straight-up ambiguous, as the actor playing her father is Japanese, while the actors playing her Uncle Howard, her mom, and her cousin Sylvia are all of obvious, but different, Asian nationalities. It's entirely possible that if she'd not left the show, her heritage might have been revealed at some point beyond just being Asian-American.

The California-born Marsters took this to an extreme in the Buffy episode "Doomed" (4x11). Playing the British vampire Spike, he replicates a Brit's very poor imitation of an American accent when Spike tries to change his speech to avoid detection by the vampire-capturing Initiative. This rather remarkable feat can be considered the linguistic equivalent of "chicken-fried chicken": chicken pretending to be cube steak pretending to be chicken. In Boreanaz's case his character's nationality wasn't revealed until two seasons in, and he has some Irish ancestry. His Irish accent in flashbacks was rather poor, so he didn't bother using the accent when Angel was temporarily reverted to his teenage personality in one episode.

Admittedly, Yar was not Earth-born; she was born and raised on a human colony on a completely different planet. LaForge's actual origins are deliberately vague—he's a Military Brat whose parents moved wherever Starfleet sent them. All we know for sure is that his mother was in Africa when he was born.
