Any European really, Sean Connery might be dead but his memory lives on.

[moody@lemmings.world]

Yeah, really. Peter Stormare has been playing Russian villains for decades and he's Swedish.

Peter Stormare has been playing Russian villains for decades and he’s Swedish.

Are we still talking about casting?
