That's like saying British actors can't play Americans. Canadians can't
play Americans. Americans can't play Canadians. Australians can't play
Americans.

Anthony Hopkins was wonderful as John Adams in "Amistad" so was Kate
Winslet in "Titanic". They both played Americans. Russell Crowe is
Australian yet he is wonderful in "L.A. Confidential" and "The Insider"
(he's a lock for a Best Actor nom for the latter this year)

They should base their casting decisions on ACTING ABILITY not citizenship
or nationality.
