That's interesting, because Italians always played Indians in the old movies. Just shave a Sicilian, and voila!

Jon,
In some of those movies Itallians played everyone! Except the Hollywood stars.
(Many Clint Eastwood 'Spaghetti Westerns' for those who don't know.)
Add to that the 'chinese' and 'black' characters that weren't played by anyone remotely from those races.
Now Billy Crystal playing an old black man, and Eddie Murphy playing an old Jewish man, those were well done and very funny!
