Sex discrimination

Why can a Russian actress play a Russian woman (Olga Kurylenko in Quantum of Solace) but an American actor has to play a Russian man (Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2)? Sex discrimination!

Dear Mr Budman,

I don't know how to reach you by mail or phone, so I try it this way and hope you read the comments.
My name is Kathrin Stumpe, I'm a German student of the Technical University of Dresden and I'm going to write a thesis about Russian immigrants here in the United States. Some of my interview partners mentioned your name, not only as an immigrant, but also as a local author in Binghamton.
I would really love to do an interview with you about your immigration and your adaption to the American life. If you are interested in talking to me, please send me an email to kastumpe@yahoo.de
Unfortunately I will only stay in Binghamton until this Thursday (05/07/09). But if you should be interested in an interview, this could also be possible with Skype.
I would really appreciate it, if you agreed to be interviewed.

Best wishes

Kathrin Stumpe
