Oh - another. When they cast people of the completely wrong ethnicity from what they are supposed to be. Current example, on the new show "Nikita," one of the main characters is a young girl who is theoretically from Ukraine, I think it is. Not only does the character have absolutely no accent, she looks not even remotely Slavic or Russian, never mind Ukrainian. She's got cheekbones no broader than mine, for goodness sake! Are there no actresses from anywhere in Eastern Europe who could have been more credibly cast?
And when they cast a "family" and the kids look not one bit like each other, or the parents. Not in coloring, build or any details whatsoever. And when they cast the younger version of a character with a totally different bone structure, never mind looks, as the adult version, and just color the hair to match.
