They'd never let this happen to Speedy Gonzalez or let a man voice whatever that birthing person from Metroid was named.

Only Colombians should be allowed to play Mario.

Charlie Day as Luigi is great casting.

The original stuff from Japan would be deemed incredibly offensive today.

Especially many of their “comic” books. Or whatever they called them.

Mel Blanc did like 99% of cartoon voices back in the day.

I loved Carlito’s Way where Pacino is playing a Hispanic character. But then in the club scene he is talking about how well he knows the Italian mob guys…..

I would never let a non-Purdue grad play the part of Brick when this place eventually results in a made for tv movie.

Scarface had maybe one Cuban in it yet remains one of the finer examples of understated, intellectually stimulating artwork produced over the last 83 years.

I think the blame should really be with the Italians on this one. Not many good Italian actors left. DeNiro is too old. Antonio Sabato Jr. is a Trump supporter. Joe Manganinello has too low of a voice.

We need to start a fund to get more Italians in Hollywood.
