"Alan Rickman? Reason is dead simple. If you were making a Hollywood movie about the End Times, then who y'goona call to be the Anti-Christ? Not an American, obviously. Wouldn't want to make him Hispanic either.
Chinese? Japanese? African?- hardly. Still there's one country which now specialises in breeding villains. The UK has a long history of so-softly-spoken-you hardly hear them actors who can be trusted to be comprehensible. When they are tall, sinister, Machiavellian and good looking then Alan Rickman's a shoo-in."
(emphasis added):
Jeremy Clarkson: 'Why is it in Hollywood films, the Brits are always the baddies?
Brian Cox: 'Because the Americans distrust intelligence.'
-"Top Gear" (the 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' section)
Samuel L. Jackson - an African-American - played what is essentially a villain in the British film "The 51st State".
Your call, Hollywood. And you can start with a remake of "U-571". Using historical fact as the screenplay; that it was a British Royal Navy ship's crew that captured the 1st Enigma machine. Also a Canadian Navy ship's crew that captured a more advanced 4-rotor Enigma. The only time a US Navy ship's crew captured one, it was an obsolete model - and the very act of doing so almost fucked up the plans for Operation Overlord ('D-Day').
...but then showing Americans fucking up wouldn't make for a very marketable film now, would it? Thus you have to fuck up reality. Stick to Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Hollywood, it's what you're good at.
WWE: fantasy. I rest my case.

Ergo, what Brian Cox said on "Top Gear". Q.E. and D.
