Which is the role of Charlize Theron?


In the credits I recognized that Charlize Theron is mentioned, but which is her role in the film (which scene)??

reply

She ran the escort agency, she had a black bob hair cut so wasn't instantly recognisable.

reply

Which is ironic since she worked as a call girl before being discovered yelling at a bank clerk.

"she plays the arson investigator who shoots up at the end. "

I hope no one actually falls for that.

Did anyone understand the Czech (I assume) that she spoke? If so, did she do it well?

reply

She actually spoke Afrikaans, not Czech...but I don´t know is she did it well since I don´t speak Afrikaans myself :o)

reply

She did it well. I'm Dutch myself and Afrikaans is very similar to that.

You might want to check out Charlize Theron's birthplace.

reply

You might want to check out Charlize Theron's biography - she grew up in South Africa. I'd guess she speaks the language quite well.

reply

Of course she spoke Afrikaans very well - it's her mother tongue. She was born an d bred in South Africa.

reply

This is a late reply but I have only just read the thread... Charlize Theron is a South African born Afrikaaner ... Afrikaans is her mother tongue so yes she did speak it very well.

reply

Of course she speaks afrikaans "Charlize Theron was born in Benoni, a city in the greater Johannesburg-area, South Africa on August 7th, 1975."

reply

She spoke Afrikaans, being South African and all and yes she did it well.

reply

..ok..then what in the world was she saying?

reply

She says, "Hello Mr Botha, can I call you back? You would never believe who just walked in here, it's Eddie Flemming. Thank you, good bye".


See the trivia for a bit more information.

Now my question is: what role was Kim Cantrall?

reply

The TV Executive near the beginning, who berates Kelsey Grammar.


"I remember you now. You still look lived in"
"Yeah, well, we can't all afford botox, can we?"

reply

See the trivia section...

The language spoken by Charlize Theron's character is Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa. She says, "Hello Mr Botha, can I call you back? You would never believe who just walked in here, it's Eddie Flemming. Thank you, good bye."

reality works... when you use it

reply

She's the madame who gave the hairdressing assistant/witness to the murder her card to come work for her. Emil called the agency asking for a "Czech girl" & Charlize sent over an American hooker who got murdered quite viciously by Emil while Oleg filmed it.
