Why were so many Indians, of the native American variety, played by Italian guys in the old westerns? Same reason...🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou Some white actors played Indians too like Burt Reynolds and Charles Bronson.

@Nitedoc They had to be dark...with a good tan and black hair!

@4meAndyou Exactly. Probably the most adsurd casting I can think of was having John Wayne play Genghis Kahn in a B&W movie, when he was young.

@Nitedoc A little clueless out in Hollywood in those days, weren't they? AND...🤔🤔🤔...these days, too! 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou Yep, seems so.
