a Maori Mexican

Does this guy look like his name would be Herrera? No. He doesn't at all, and it almost ruined Runaway Jury for me.

He's Maori. Which I didn't remember until I looked him up - Cliff Curtis.

And I'm glad that Maori actors aren't pidgeonholed into only Whale Rider and Once We Were Warriors (both very good movies), but I gotta ask - in a nation of 15% Latino, not one person could be found who actually looked like a Frank Herrera? Why couldn't Cliff Curtis be cast as a lawyer or guy who changes his name regularly - all major parts played by white guys. To make it even worse, they put on this makeup that made his complexion look grey. Ugh.

But I did like the movie - I'm such a sucker for moral triumphs. Go, team ethics - and way to kick evil Slav's ass, Rachel Weisz.

10 more Fridays.

I want to hear about law school - I want to know what my options are. I know, I applied less than a week ago - but surely they could admit me immediately?!
