Did anyone see a rather strange advert for Octagon Global Recruiting on Lost last night? I thought it was rather strange, so I went on the net to check it out. I found this post that says it’s a hoax: Octagon Global Recruiting Hoax. It seems to me that these hoaxes are getting a bit boring. Particularly when they’re done as a sort of advertising like this.

Apparently, Paola Cantu is a new Mexican actress that everyone is talking about. I must admit, I’ve never heard of her before. I read this article though and it piqued my curiosity because I’m a fan of Mexican films:
That article takes a look at some other Mexican actors and it got me thinking what great talent has come out of Mexico. Obviously, Gael Gabriel Garcia is the biggest star. He’s probably the best actor in the world today. It’s strange that he hasn’t got to quite the A-list level of the likes of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Maybe because he chooses roles that are a bit more challenging for viewers. Or maybe it’s because he’s Mexican. Whatever the reason, I don’t think it bothers him too much. He doesn’t seem to type be all about the fame. I don’t think I want to see him become one of those shallow A-listers anyway.
One actress that is missing from that post about Paola Cantu is Laura Harring. Perhaps she isn’t Mexican enough. She moved to the US when she was really young. After seeing her in Mulholland Drive, there’s no denying she’s got great talent. She seems to have faded away a little since then, though.
Good luck to Paola Cantu. I hope I get to see her in something soon.
