99% of Turbaned Americans are Sikhs, Sikhs are not Muslims!

Hate Crime is evil, but ignorrant hatecrime as in Mistaken Identity of a Religion is double fold EVIL!

The beard is for the same original purpose, to project fierceness and virility.

My guess is that he's not a member of Equity (damn unions), and so the way around that is to not have him speak! [Besides which, I don't know him, but it might ruin the orientalism if he speaks with an American accent]</p> Actually, I think Waris plays a silent role b/c he doesn’t show up in the cast list for the movie.

Kumar Pallana and Dipak Pallana, who are apparently longtime friends of Anderson, were cast in the film. Dipak Pallana plays a tennis player who defeats Richie Tenenbaum in his last pro match. In a much larger role, Kumar Pallana plays Royal Tenenbaum's faithful assistant, and has gone on to get roles in other films such as <em>The Terminal</em>.</p> As far as Wes Anderson goes, he also cast a pair of South Asians in The Royal Tenenbaums, so I’m not sure there’ll be a silent henchman role.
