Hmm Actor/ Actress playing outside their national / ethnic group
JOHN GARFIELD RUSSIAN JEWISH AMERICAN
JUAREZ playing Mexican
ANTHONY QUINN MEXICAN AMERICAN
ZORBA THE GREEK playing GREEK
GEORGE CHAKIRIS GREEK AMERICAN
WEST SIDE STORY playing PUERTO RICAN
RITA MORENO PUERTO RICAN
THE FOUR SEASONS. playing ITALIAN ( I am Italian )
AL PACINO ITALIAN AMERICAN
CHINESE COFFEE playing JEWISH AMERICAN
Moreno had an interesting entry playing a Burmese concubine in King and I but I could not find a Burmese/ Myanmar actor playing outside their ethnicity. Anything made after 2015 would be very sensitive to using actors of the same ethnic group as the character they played.
