Nestor Paiva - versatile citizenship

Paiva was of Portugese descent, but he made a career of portraying various characters from any number of nationalities, as long as they had swarthy skin and a foreign-sounding accent. Sometimes he was a good guy and sometimes a bad guy, but he had a gift for humor and found his way into a number of comedy films, one of the most notable of which was The Road to Rio. Since the language of Brazil is Portuguese, he at least got to speak with his native accent in that one.
