... why all the Italian characters are played by Spanish or Latino actors? It's not a complain (there's nothing wrong with it); just curiosity.

Hadn't noticed that. Perhaps better name recognition?

... why all the Italian characters are played by Spanish or Latino actors? It's not a complain (there's nothing wrong with it); just curiosity. I feel like Latino and Italian actors have been used interchangeably for years in Hollywood. The most famous example probably being Al Pacino, an Italian American, playing a Cuban in Scarface. Both groups of people share similar characteristics. I'm an Italian American myself and I can tell you that people in my family have been asked if they are from a Latino descent. |

I'm a Chilean with Italian ancestors and I've been mistaken for an Italian by non-Italians... while Italians have mistaken me for French, Greek, etc... Considering history of hollywood why not?. What do you mean? |

What do you mean? Hollywood always cast actors from other basic Ethnicities within roles as others have mentioned here, why is this different at all?. |

More Latino actors in the Miami area also probably afraid Italian actors would keep finding stuff that fell off of trucks if you know what I mean.
