Every time I work with a European director, I find they hire the person that captures the spirit of the role. Americans tend to hire the best face. The person that looks more like the role, whether they can perform the role or not is a bonus. ↗

Let's win the peace and democracy the good people of Iraq so richly deserve after decades of tyranny. ↗
