34!!Tropes
35* EvilSoundsDeep: He has a very deep voice and almost always plays bad guys.
36* FakeNationality: You can count on one hand the number of times he's played a Venezuelan. In particular, he's cast as Russians due to his fluency in the language and impeccable accent. He also played a Colombian terrorist in ''Film/ToySoldiers''
37* FakeRussian: His go to role. Something of a subversion in that his father was Russian and he's fluent in the language.
38* LatinoIsBrown: He's almost never cast as Latino characters, likely due in part to this trope.
39* NoStuntDouble: Frequently does his own stuntwork.
40* {{Omniglot}}: He speaks eight languages, and used to speak nine (Romanian, which he forgot when he had no one to speak it with).
