Would americans not accept her in non-mide eastern roles?


I mean if she was playing a American character, not a terrorist wife or a woman form middle-east, would Americans be offended? Do they like non-American actors playing American characters? especially Iranians and mid-easterners?

Like say, Australians player "mentalists"? Or Brits using a Midwestern accent to play a space-fighter pilots?

Her accent is rather thick but I think there are plenty of roles she can pull off well. Any thing futureistic can run almost sny accent.

She just played a psychoanalyst working with Homeland Security to analyze the team on tonight's episode of Scorpion.

I'm American and I thought she did great as she does in all her roles.
