Description

Okay I just re-watched Star Trek Into Darkness and I got kinda pissed that they whitewashed Khan and made him a white Englishman. And coming from a guy who has white washed every anime that he could, this probably means absolutely nothing, but here I am and I wanted to find an actors who could play a none white Khan. Ricardo Montalban was of course a latin man and Khan was conceived as an Indian man who used Khan as his title. So i decided to re cast Khan from the film as a Latino man. My pick is Theo Rossi known for playing Juice on Sons of Anarchy, and soon to be Shade on Luke Cage. For those who aren't star trek fans the Khan character is a genetically engineered Warlord from earth's future. He's a man who radiates power and his enemies both hate and respect him.

I know this guy from sons of Anarchy :) And I do think that his character on that show would have prepared him to play Khan. 

Khan was part eloquent, part exotic and part psychotic with a kind of sincerity in his own rightness that made him scary. There's paralells to be made in sons of anarchy if you look close enough.
