And so is casting characters ho are not martial artist and specialyzed in this kind of movie. Yeti do you thing taboo is pretty?? Wich is your nearsightedness degree? Maybe you should switch your glasses lol. Maybe taboo has some spanish descent, but he must also have a big part of his ancestry in native latin american indians because he looks far more like a native indian than a spaniard. Actually a used to think he was fillipino/asian until find out he was mexican lol. Javier Bardem should be a betther choice for the role since he is a actual spaniard is much more athletic and is also a amateur boxer hinself. Those hollywood producers think that as it is an action movie targered specially on younger audiences they dont need to make a big effort on casting and bulding up the story as they would if it was a "serious" movie. that's a lack of respect with the audience and with SF fans!

Does he have an acting background or is it only performance? Those are two wholly different capabilities. There are a lot of musicians that have successfully done movies...by success, I'm referring to the movie not tanking. Not about their acting abilities. Almost every last one of them suck so bad that it takes a mega-song-star a series of movies before people dont ridicule them. The Crowe analogy is just a plain fallacy to mention, shame on you for twisting the whole concept. Crowe is not a good singer. I doubt he ever will be unless he retires to it. But as a profession, he sucks at it. Acting and stage performance are not the same thing. People watch movies from a generally quiet point of view unless its a comedy. Music, on the other hand, is not even written by most of the performers these days---thats why they're called PERFORMERS. Todays top pop talents havent written jack. Thats not to say I dont like the music, because I do. But face it - they are nothing more than street-performers that got good marketing. Who's the most famous popstar of the last decade - Britany Spears. Anyone happen to catch her movie? Yea...enough said. Acting takes talent. Some actors are crappy but are marketed by people with investments in them - like Rob Lowe these days. One thing I definitely agree with - BEP peeps are only going into those movies because they already have the name recognition to guarantee a successful movie from those that would otherwise not watch it. Have we forgotten how bad the Rock sucked when he started acting? How much the rest of the cast hated the crap out of working with him because of lack of talent? took, what, 10 years for him?

I think he can handle a small role just fine. I've never really seen the other guy much so it could go either way. Well I’m not too worried for Will since he’s a pretty talented person.

My guess for Taboo is VEGA. He has the long hair like Vega, looks kinda pretty like Vega and is of Spanish descent like Vega. The main issue though is that Vega is a skilled martial artist...well surprise surprise...Taboo is actually trained in the martial art of Jeet Kune Do.

For example, take Russell Crowe. 30 Odd Foot of Grunts? Fucking terrible. A Beautiful Mind? Great! Million Dollar Baby? Great! Cinderella Man? Great! 3:10 to Yuma? Great! See where I'm going with this? Dear Danny,
