How many times has he played the Psycho hailing from some European or Russian country? Bulletproof Monk, 15 Minutes, Hellboy, Running Scaredetc, etc. Talk about getting type cast
I love Film and TV show much! -

yes, this is rather sad, but if often happens to actors that come from those regions. sad but true, and it would be nice if people would start to change things up a bit.
Come on Warner Bros, give us our Blade Runner Special Edition -

Hehe I don't mean to be nasty I just think it's unfortunate that the Russian empire desolved. Not for Russia, but because I think it's a disservice to the true and original Kieven/Muscovite Rus' history and culture to try to disolve the single entity.
I understand all the political issues but I think historically and culturally it's kind of sad. -

He is as typecast in his roles as that Noel Guglielmi is from Training Day, Fast and Furious, movies like that. Noel always plays the bald-headed mexican gangster tough guy. Difference between Roden and Guglielmi is Roden actually has alot of depth as an actor.

I totally agree with you. He is so unchallenged by the rolls he gets in Hollywood.
The funniest thing is that he is casted to play mostly Russian characters -and he hates it. He was going to play a Russian in "15 minutes" (and he does speak Russian!) But after a conversation with the film's Director John Herzfeld. Herzfeld allowed him to be Czech and to build more tension between Emil and Oleg.
Hopefully he will get more dignifying and diverse rolls in the near future. -

I think it's sad too. He's clearly a brilliant actor. His performance in 15 minutes is outstanding, and the film wouldn't have been half as good without the interaction between him and Oleg Taktarov. I'd happily spend money to see him in any film where they give him a role where he can show his talent to it's fullest.
