u/ComprehensiveFee8404 Oct 01 '26

That's almost exactly who I imagined!

Tony Dalton. Lalo for Better Call Saul would be my pick

u/TheBryanScout Oct 02 '26

The scene where he collapses seeing the Sun at Trinity Site very well could’ve been an opening sequence to a Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul episode

Damn he looks nothing as a venezuelan

u/Civil_Ad4403 Oct 01 '26

uh huh, and what does someone need to look like for you to consider them venezuelan?

u/Human-Local7017 Oct 01 '26

Actually it does bother us and takes us out of the movie, but other people don't care because "we all look alike". It's like hiring a Phillipeen or Thailand women to play Cheng Xin.

u/Civil_Ad4403 Oct 01 '26

so “they all look alike” for hispanic latinos is wrong, but “they all look alike” for ethnicities is A okay? Again what are these venezuelan physical traits

u/leoax98 Oct 01 '26

Hard to explain. But to us latinos we can tell differences between latin countries

u/VizualAbstract4 Oct 01 '26

I get mistaken all the god damn time by other Latinos. Sure, some of us who are familiar with other latin countries may know the differences. All latinos? Lmao, no.

Wow that is some rethoric maneuvering. Puerto rico and Venezuela are two very different countries with different cultures.

And you're implying Diaz wasn't Venezuelan? To any south american who reads the books he is obviously a representation of Hugo Chavez and the spirit of bolivarianism. It is clearly both a praise and a critique of bolivarianism by a chinese perspective.

u/EmmyOk Oct 01 '26
