Due to his physical appearance (dark skin color, shaved head), Ben Kingsley has often been cast in a wide variety of “exotic” ethnic and national roles.
In the Oscar-winning biopic Gandhi, Kingsley was witty and resourceful in an impressively understated performance.
In the Oscar winner Schindler’s List, he was both unsentimental and touching as a Polish Jew.
In The House of Sand and Fog, he played an elegant Iranian colonel.
