Apparently I could. Well, to remember something you have to know it and, until you just mentioned it, I never made the connection between the actor playing Tom Kalmaku in GREEN LANTERN and the actor playing Count Viago in WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS.
I never had a problem with his acting in GREEN LANTERN--which is a movie I liked at the time--but what did bother me is that he wasn't Inuit. What's even worse, he's from New Zealand. So not only didn't they get an Inuit, they didn't even get a native person from North America, but they got someone from all the way over in New Zealand to play an Inuit.
How is it that any different than casting white people to play Asian characters? I realize that the supply of Inuit actors is limited, but they should have looked in the USA or Canada for an actor, before going all the way to New Zealand. It's not like Tom Kalmaku was such a significant part that they needed the best actor in all the world to play him and an Inuit couldn't have filled the role adequately.
