5. Diego Luna
Jumping over to Mexico for number five, we have Diego Luna, whose first international notice came for his role in Y tú Mama Tambien. Since then, hes slowly worked his way into Hollywood, though not as high-profile as his friend and costar, Gael Garcia Bernal. Circling back to my assertion that Desmond Miles, as portrayed in the game, is not a plain old white guy, (hes at best, of mixed descent - Altair was Syrian, Ezio was Italian and Connor, of AC3 is himself mixed, white and Native American), Diego Luna is certainly primed to look the part. I havent really seen what he can really do action wise, but again, Desmond isnt too action based, as he mostly just lays there, or walks around asking questions. Also, Luna's star may rise still further after appearing in Elysium
next year. {
Side note: I hope that none of my comments regarding skin color/tone of different actors are perceived as racially insensitive. Whenever used, Im simply trying to stay true to the game, as I see it, and suggest certain actors whose skin tone looks best for the part (of course, acting ability is most important). In fact, I hope my list is seen as looking beyond the typical, predominantly Anglo-Saxon type, and encourages casting agents to do the same.}
