6. Oscar Isaac
Isaac plays an American folk singer with Welsh roots in the Coen Brothers Inside Llewyn Davis, but the soon-to-be-a-household-name actor (hes one of the leads in Star Wars Episode VII and was given a slightly expanded role after Harrison Fords recent injury on-set) is actually of Guatemalan and Cuban descent and was born Oscar Isaac Hernandez. Isaac has played a variety of different ethnicities, from the Latin Standard Gabriel in Drive to the decidedly Anglo-Saxon Prince John in 2010s Robin Hood and even Joseph in 2006s The Nativity Story. Its obvious why he chose to change his name its harder to get non-stereotyped roles in Hollywood if youre obviously ethnic but Isaac hasnt gone quite as far as some other actors and has steered clear of actually altering his physical appearance in order to better fit in, making him something of a stealth Latin-American actor in the movie world.
