Is there a 'who should play this character?' thread, and is it necro?

Antonio Banderas is white.

So Spanish does not equal Hispanic? I'd suggest Andy Garcia, but he's getting a little long in the tooth (as is Banderas, which I consider a stronger strike against him).

I did a Google search for 'hispanic actors', and out of the first twenty listed only three were both male and in the appropriate age band — Freddie Prinze Jr., Eddie Cibrian and David Gallagher. Probably our best bet would be to cast a flexible woman (Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Eva Longoria, Alexa Vega), or else go a little older (Valente Rodriguez, Benjamin Bratt, Esai Morales).

Probably our best bet would be to CGI Ricardo Montalban.
