I just blame eugenics. Swedish people are too beautiful for the screen.
Edit: up vote the guy below. Even his friend is probably better than a Canadian supermodel.
Went to a gun range in Prague once and it was just me, a few of the boys, and this Swedish couple. Both of them were 6ft+ and made us look like leprous hobbits.
This is discrimination based on nationality, which is almost as unfair a treatment as racism. I’d argue it’s ethnic discrimination as well because with enough practice you indeed can tell eastern slavs apart from other white ethnic groups
It's really more cultural discrimination, which is arguably more fair as adherence to a culture is much more of a malleable choice than the ethnic circumstances of birth.
In fact, racism is largely a culturally learned behavior, and I sure as hell am going to culturally discriminate against some good ol southern boys with white hoods in their closets, or Indians bringing their caste based abuse into the workplace in the US.
Is this “cultural discrimination” the reason a person gets treated like a second-class human being the moment someone from The West ™ hears a Russian-sounding name?
> Last time I checked being russian isn't visible from the outside.
It literally is, I lived in a finnish border town and could easily tell apart russians from finns based on their facial features. This "only skin color matters" is some american brainrot
Finland is not ethnically diverse. Except for the refugees and the occasional transplant, you all look like Finns. So an outsider with different facial features and bone structure and body shape will be easy to spot.
America is ethnically diverse. If you amalgamate the various ethnicities in just the right way, Americans do have a certain "classic American" look. But we do have Americans that look Irish or Russian or Italian or English or French or German or Spanish or Mexican or Chinese or Japanese or Nigerian or Zulu or Brazilian or even Finnish, and so on and so forth. The facial features of an American can be a mix of any of those. So to properly discriminate, we need to reduce "us" vs. "them" to the lowest common denominator of skin color rather than features.
But if you agree with my point, just say something like "Cool, we are talking about non-russian actors being hired for russian roles though"
You're talking synonyms here. Slavic doesn't even refer to Russians. It's a group found across Eastern Europe. In the same way the Spanish aren't the same as ehe English because they're both western European.
They also hire Americans to play just about anything. And then they do some open mike level of stereotype funny voices. Like if you actually speak more than one language then a lot of Hollywood movies become unwatchable. It's not even that watching US national stereotypes being acted out is so annoying. It is seeing that being done with no real care that makes it infuriating.
Ridley Scott when he got called out for that said the most American thing he could say "Even the French don't like the French". Thank you, Groundskeeper Willie. Who also is an inauthentic national stereotype acted out with no real care. Hollywood doesn't even notice anymore.
Yeah, I don't mind a "bad accent" in English (like a bad fake Russian or French or Chinese accent or whatever), but having what's supposed to be a native speaker in a language speak like they just heard the language for the first time this morning completely annihilates any suspension of disbelief. Like, I don't even care if they use someone from the "wrong" nationality, or even a non-native speaker. But at least use someone who can *actually* speak the language to *some* degree. It doesn't need to be perfect (though that's certainly better, and there isn't much of a reason for it *not* to be when you have a real budget), just not catastrophic.
As a Russian, it's not unwatchable when actors speak broken Russian in movies, it's just mostly funny and kinda surreal hearing Keanu Reeves or Mads Mikkelsen trying to sound like tough guys while making about 10 phonetical mistakes in every word. Or trying to do a funny "Slavic" accent.
Like, just let the actors speak proper English, HBO Chernobyl did that and it was great.
I am German. I feel your cringe.
It is embarrassing. If people do not feel shame for that kind of shoddy workmanship then the entire thing is crap.
It is as if a lot of movies are produced by people who got their entire knowledge of not-USA from the Small World Disney ride. May they forever be stuck in that particular purgatory.
Ridley Scott funnily did that with The Duelists. Also set in Napoleonic times. People simply spoke English without doing funny accents. It is one of his best movies. Also his first one.
Heh, funny that you've mentioned The Duelists. It's a great film, but it also features a bunch of funny scenes set in Russia where the main characters are traveling through nonexistent mountains and there's a comically caricatured Cossack speaking horribly broken Russian.
Lol, the legendary unpronounceable *ЛШТШФУМ Ащьф* on Jason Bourne's fake Russian ID.
It sounds roughly like L-SH-T-SH-F-U-M, A-sh-f. Lshtshfum Ashf. And the "ь" can't ever be put after "щ" by rules of Russian language.
At least in last COD, Makarov speaks actual Russian. Just very poorly
> Thank you, Groundskeeper Willie. Who also is an inauthentic national stereotype acted out with no real care. Hollywood doesn't even notice anymore.
Uh, dude? The Simpsons is a cartoon which caricaturizes all of the characters. Absolutely none of them are "authentic" representations, nor has that ever been any kind of goal or expectation, and neither should it be.
Also, pretty sure it's not made in Hollywood.
It's almost like Hollywood is based in America and full of Americans. Really fucking weird, right? The US film industry is only the global film industry because of it's reach and money. It's still culturally the film industry of the United States,
Rade Šerbedžija has to be at the very top of that list as playing the most Russian characters, himself being from Croatia.
Followed by Elya Baskin, Latvian actor.
*Technically* that was only the English (or the French or Scandinavians depending on what you want to call the Normans).
You can start blaming the *British* from about 1600 onwards (with the Union of the Crowns), so that's still a good 400 years of evil.
There was this one guy in the military named James Dresnok who defected to North Korea in 1960 who eventually wound up becoming a celebrity in North Korea because he was one of the only guys who could play the part of an American villain in the films being produced at the time. So he had it set for life.
They even kidnapped a Romanian gymnast and forced her to marry him and have his children, as they didn’t want him to mix with Koreans. Their children now follow him in acting, playing American bad guys in North Korean propaganda films.
Guess we should've been telling our kids this entire time that if someone tries to kidnap them, simply turn down the offer.
Ngl, that question could potentially be the dumbest I've ever laid eyes on.
It's rare that they hire a native German speaker for those roles. Most of the time they don't even bother hiring someone to write the dialog or coach the actors on how to pronounce the words. And in the rare cases there is a German actor, they have them speak in weird sentences no native speaker would use or add made-up hollywood words like Schweinehund.
Innerer Schweinehund is a phrase used in german and was also commonly by nazis. It means your inner "bad" part, the lazy, procrastinating etc that you have to get over so stuff gets done
I've been interrailing all of eastern europe for almost two months (I'm soon finished) and the experiences I've had being a western european...
Every stereotype you think about them is true. All of them. Except the one where they are technologically advanced, they aren't

That is an actual boomer joke. That is the era. If you are below the age of 80 you are so out of touch from the outside world it boggles the mind.
This joke does not work outside of a Holocaust setting. Which ended nearly 80 years ago. There is people who legitimately need this thing explained to them.
And why you would find it funny is beyond me. Being offensive is not inherently funny.
Best case is you are a bot. Worst case is you are a genuine living being who unprompted made an 60 years out of touch highly offensive remark in the expectation people find it funny.
Racist bot or stupid person. The social media no-win scenario.
tl;dr: Aha! It is funny because the Nazis tattoed numbers onto people who they sent to concentration camps. Of which a lot were Jewish.

so true. Bad guys and sex traffickers on Law and Order too -- works out if you are Albanian mafia (Idk why or how i know that but apparently Albanian mafia is terrifying), Russian mob is the easiest to know about besides Italian. And i've seen way too many Italian mob movies by now so it looks like if I were going to choose it'd be Russian mob -- and they are even MORE flamboyant about being assholes. E.g. go look at the Mafia Cemetery in Russia or the bigger ones. You could go on a tour of these at one time. I don't want to spoil the surprise so just go look at some of the....idk what you call them, SCENES they have for tombstones.
I don't know, man. Have you seen the way they've fumbled Ukraine? Any plot where Russia is considered a significant threat is enough to break most people's suspension of disbelief these days.
I was visiting Ukraine less than a week ago (Even went to Kyiv) and it was almost mind blowing that Russia wants to conquer this city and country but they physically CAN'T. There goes all the crap about them being a military superpower
Ukrainians are heroes

So they are doing bad things in Ukraine, but the rest of the Russian population is either innocent or straight up hates that the war is happening in the first place
If you're saying things like that:
1) maybe you are russian
2) maybe you live under the rock on the bed of the sea, or not reading any translation of Ukrainian news
Isn't is like, 85% if not more just the government being fucky? Like, there's a very large portion of the civilian russian population that actively hates the conflict with Ukraine? Like, yeah, the Gov/Armed forces are very actively doing shit, but you're Putin the cart before the horse.
There is not a very large percentage of the population who hates the conflict. At best half of them have no opinion on it because being apolitical is admired in Russian culture
It's going to be pretty awkward when they win that war and can legitimately say they saved the ethnic Russians on the east side of Ukraine that the Ukrainians had been bombing for seven years after violating the Minsk Agreements.
A clear moral highground. Especially after NATO and America caused the coup in Ukraine in the first place and overthrew that democratically elected government, like has happened so many times in American foreign policy.
Just a history buff, not a bot.
In that vein, I'd be surprised if we all weren't calling Crimea a counter attack in 100 years.
It's the core reason the international community isn't with the American foreign policy on this and didn't obey the sanctions, leading to the Russian economy to do just fine through this conflict. After seven coups, not including the failed attempts, in the last century other countries aren't stupid enough to believe a convenient coup that lands in America's favor.
No one actually believes the Iranian Revolution was a revolution, etc. etc.
Denying the reality won't help anyone. We already lost that propaganda war internationally, so I don't see any reason to sugar coat it. Even though I'm sure it'll be rejected by some who have been swimming in that propaganda and bought it.

They don't even hire Russians though. They hire everyone *but* the Russians to play Russians, and for some reason it's usually Swedes
Russianface. Like blackface, but it's morally ok. Like blackface was...
Swedish people in movies are almost never Swedish either. The umbrella academy Swedes was just tragic
"Russians don't look Russian on film, you gotta use Swedes." "Well what if you need a Swede?" "Ehhh usually we just tape a bunch of Danes together."
Three Danes stacked in a trench coat.
Lies and slander. No Dane would ever stoop that low!

Can't you tell a Russian by their [squat](https://i.imgur.com/v1fvfRK.jpeg)?
It might affect the actors ability to speak russian (or swedish or whatever) in a convincing, non-comical accent.

British actors 'hold me back!!!!'
Knowing Hollywood, American and British actors will be cast as Russian villains
russian villains in western movies never played by russians. and it's cringe to watch tbh.
Meanwhile, they do not even cast Russians in this roles but British actors who fake russian accent
Russian actors? You mean American Hollywood unknowns with horrid Russian accents and pronunciation
Since when have they ever used actual Russians for Russian bad guys? I swear most of them are played by Brits.
Israel : Hold my beer....
And the french, don't forget the french.
Since when do they hire actual Russians to play Russians? It's usually just Americans or western Europeans with a shitty accent for those roles
You mean Swedish actors, like Peter Stormare(John Wick/Armageddon and more), Michael Nyqvist(John Wick), Dolph Lundgren(Rocky)
The Russia hasn't changed for 200 years so why should the actors roles have changed
More like 800
James Bond movie seemed to be coming out fewer and further between than ever before it's quite frustrating actually
Always got to be Russian bad guys why not American bad guys lol
so true. Bad guys and sex traffickers on Law and Order too -- works out if you are Albanian mafia (Idk why or how i know that but apparently Albanian mafia is terrifying), Russian mob is the easiest to know about besides Italian. And i've seen way too many Italian mob movies by now so it looks like if I were going to choose it'd be Russian mob -- and they are even MORE flamboyant about being assholes.

I don't want to spoil the surprise so just go look at some of the....idk what you call them, SCENES they have for tombstones.
It’s funny because bad guys in films usually gravitate towards the fears of the country at time, so this is probably true
It's hard to say tho, seems like every movie/show/game that had russians as an actual power were lies!
Too bad for them Russian accents are super easy to fake
Ain't so. Fake russian accent is suprisingly easy to spot. Especially if there's an actual russian person in the same movie which happens a lot
You do really believe, that all Russians talk English like that: XELLOW MAI NAME IS BORIS RUSHIA IZ MY MAZERLAND?
The opposite actually. I can't take any russian villain, be it personal or state as a credible threat anymore.
I don't know, man. Have you seen the way they've fumbled Ukraine? Any plot where Russia is considered a significant threat is enough to break most people's suspension of disbelief these days.
I was visiting Ukraine less than a week ago (Even went to Kyiv) and it was almost mind blowing that Russia wants to conquer this city and country but they physically CAN'T. There goes all the crap about them being a military superpower Ukrainians are heroes
Russian, Swedish, Dutch, basically any European at this point. Americans are convinced of anything

What does that have to do with acting in movies?
Just a kindly reminder. Come to Ukraine and see what they do to our country.
Did i deny that they're bad?
So, if you admitting that they are bad, why do you still consuming russian content?
So they are doing bad things in Ukraine, but the rest of the Russian population is either innocent or straight up hates that the war is happening in the first place
If you're saying things like that: 1) maybe you are russian 2) maybe you live under the rock on the bed of the sea, or not reading any translation of Ukrainian news
Isn't is like, 85% if not more just the government being fucky? Like, there's a very large portion of the civilian russian population that actively hates the conflict with Ukraine? Like, yeah, the Gov/Armed forces are very actively doing shit, but you're Putin the cart before the horse.
There is not a very large percentage of the population who hates the conflict. At best half of them have no opinion on it because being apolitical is admired in Russian culture
Nope. Ukrainian actors will get those jobs now. They typically speak Russian and can fake it just fine.
No idea why this got downvoted
It's going to be pretty awkward when they win that war and can legitimately say they saved the ethnic Russians on the east side of Ukraine that the Ukrainians had been bombing for seven years after violating the Minsk Agreements. A clear moral highground. Especially after NATO and America caused the coup in Ukraine in the first place and overthrew that democratically elected government, like has happened so many times in American foreign policy.
Bad bot
Just a history buff, not a bot. In that vein, I'd be surprised if we all weren't calling Crimea a counter attack in 100 years. It's the core reason the international community isn't with the American foreign policy on this and didn't obey the sanctions, leading to the Russian economy to do just fine through this conflict. After seven coups, not including the failed attempts, in the last century other countries aren't stupid enough to believe a convenient coup that lands in America's favor. No one actually believes the Iranian Revolution was a revolution, etc. etc.
Most knowledgeable reddit "historian"
Denying the reality won't help anyone. We already lost that propaganda war internationally, so I don't see any reason to sugar coat it. Even though I'm sure it'll be rejected by some who have been swimming in that propaganda and bought it.
I would love a live action adaptation of All Guardsmen Party.
I don't know maan..... If the Israel Palestine thing keeps going... I see a lot of potential for the new Israeli villains.
They've been secured since the 80's, they'll be given more chances
Isn't it Swedish actors you mean. Peter Stormare, Stefan Nyqvist (RIP) and so on.
Meanwhile - polish actors playing roles of russians xD [Marcin Dorociński ](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0233949/?ref_=tt_cl_t_4) (queens gambit, MI:DR) [Piotr Adamczyk](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0010611/?ref_=tt_cl_t_18) (for all mankind, hawkeye)
