Naveen Andrews cast in ABC’s The Ten Commandments. He’s slated to play Menerith.

Looking over IMDB, I believe that this is only the second time he’s been cast as an Arab. It’s kind of funny. But it makes me curious: do people ever get offended when an actor of one nationality gets cast to play a character of different nationality? I’m sure some do; I don’t think there’s an issue in the world that someone doesn’t find offensive. But oh well.

Anyway, I’ve made some updates to my Summer Book/TV/Movie Guide. Thanks for the recs, Renata! The books you mentioned sound quite awesome. Onwards, to the library!
