The Endling (No. 44)

The talent of Hollywood has never failed to portray their ignorance of the world outside the United States of America. I fail to understand why Hollywood insists on casting actors that look nothing like the nationality or ethnicity of the character they are suppose to portray.

An Indian portraying a Syrian, simply doesn't work, a Saudi Arabian portraying a Syrian doesn't work either. They look different, they sound different. Mediterraneans are of a different ethnic origin than those of the sub continent. I just fail to see why they cannot cast an Egyptian to play an Egyptian's role, a Russian to play a Russians role etc...

I recall watching The Night Of, and the first thing that stood out was the Iranian actor who was portraying a Pakistani (the father.) Overtime he came on screen I would just concentrate on his English Iranian accent and wonder why coudnt they case a more suitable actor.

I know this is a tv show, a fiction, but if you are depicting real countries etc. at least don't invent stuff about them. Montenegro doesn't have a king let alone a princess named Sonya... Montenegro is not a monarchy and it hasn't been one in 100 years

The principle "villain" is a woman who gave up her son as a young mother. He now has a bad heart and faces death. He also has a rare blood type. So this sets things in motion as she wreaks havoc on anyone who gets in the way of her crusade to get a heart and proper transfusions. But, eventually, she is willing to make a huge sacrifice. Continuing another strain, Tom has those bones and gives them to doctor friend to find DNA and a match. But there are others equally interested. Tom wants to go after Red, but we should remember that he is already number one on the most wanted list. The ending is a bit touching. But what happens to the famous suitcase with the bones sets up the next offering.
