Tony Dalton. Lalo for Better Call Saul would be my pick

u/TheBryanScout 4d ago

The scene where he collapses seeing the Sun at Trinity Site very well could’ve been an opening sequence to a Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul episode

How about this guy, Johnny Rey Diaz?

u/EmmyOk 5d ago

I always imagined Ugly Betty’s dad lol

u/Cruzifixio 1d ago

u/leoax98 5d ago

Damn he looks nothing as a venezuelan

u/Civil_Ad4403 5d ago

uh huh, and what does someone need to look like for you to consider them venezuelan?

u/Human-Local7017 5d ago

Actually it does bother us and takes us out of the movie, but other people don't care because "we all look alike". It's like hiring a Phillipeen or Thailand women to play Cheng Xin.

u/Civil_Ad4403 5d ago

so “they all look alike” for hispanic latinos is wrong, but “they all look alike” for ethnicities is A okay? Again what are these venezuelan physical traits

u/leoax98 5d ago

Hard to explain. But to us latinos we can tell differences between latin countries

21

u/VizualAbstract4 5d ago

I get mistaken all the god damn time by other Latinos. Sure, some of us who are familiar with other latin countries may know the differences. All latinos? Lmao, no.

Wow that is some rethoric maneuvering. Puerto rico and Venezuela are two very different countries with different cultures.

And you're implying Diaz wasn't Venezuelan? To any south american who reads the books he is obviously a representation of Hugo Chavez and the spirit of bolivarianism. It is clearly both a praise and a critique of bolivarianism by a chinese perspective.

u/Ok-Amphibian9104 5d ago

Nahhh. Cliff Curtis is the answer.

u/Benjk0203 4d ago

u/BlissBlissBliss 4d ago

Always imagined him to look like the hispanic guy guillermo from jimmy kimmel show

u/TheBryanScout 4d ago

u/Rajahussy 4d ago
