He's going to be typecast as a Latino.


He's a South Asian(Indian), but as you can already tell the majority of his roles he'll be playing latinos/hispanic characters. I guess South Asians still can't get a break.

Latin Quarter-Pablo Picasso
Finding Hope Now-Santos Delgato

Most actors I'm sure wish they could play outside of their race(as well as their race). He's lucky. There aren't many roles for South Asians.

I'm more talented than all of you, I see that clearly now.

I can see him as both.

this is stupid, why does it have to be a specific role for a certain ethnicity? why cant he simply act as an canadian, and if his ethnicity gets mentioned it should be south asian.(indian)

He looks Latino so that's how it works in hollywood

But Taylor Lautner is just as "dark skinned" and hasn't played a Latino yet. George Clooney almost always plays American and Johnny Depp has played American, European and Latino. So, whats ur point?

Jessica Alba would be the female version of it and she has played both Latina and American. On the contrary, Carla Gugino is Italian and has played American and latina. So again...what's your point?

People who don't look strictly "white" have more chances to work, because the can play multiple nationalities convincingly.
