Quick bytes: including Ben Kingsley’s bizarre moko

ONCE WERE ACTORS: Actor Ben Kingsley (born Krishna Pandit Bhanji) often gets picked for the “ethnic” roles. For reasons unexplained he plays a Maori in the film version of Orson Scott Card’s sci-fi thriller Ender’s Game (click here for the Listener‘s interview) and speaks on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about getting his non-permanent full-facial tattoo. He explains to the TV host that traditional ta moko traces your whakapapa: “Like Facebook on your face!” exclaims Kimmel.

I guess that GHANDI was perfect casting. (I didn't know he was Indian at the time)
