***Who would have thought to cast real Native Americans to play the Indians?Every person who is born on the American soil and spends his life on this continent is Native American.
You are right about Clint, but remember, my familiarity with him really started only about 20 years ago. I didn't have chance to grow up with him. I am not Native American, just a dedicated naturalized one.
I also tend to connect the actor's screen work with his personnal life behavior. Many fail this test miserably. To me the screen role always is an extension of real life personality. This is why Leonardo has no chance of capturing my heart. Clint gets pretty low passing grade in my view - which is still better than many others. I don't know if I am being a complete hypocrite, but I am very forgiving towards Jack Nicholson. He may be full of vices, but one can't deny - he enjoys life and lets others around him to do the same.
