Grisha Alexandrovich Nikolaev? Then Gregory should have said it for the second time. Oh, those Russians in American TV series :)

Well, hello to you, Grisha Alexandrovich.

Although Cullen's family roots are the most boring thing in the series.

@Atia: This is the most delusional thing in the series, because his mug is Irish.

@Atia: That's right - mom is a Gypsy, dad is Russian, and the boy somehow turned out to be Irish! The question is...??? =))

@alavitka: I don't remember who my mom is, but I couldn't tell an Irishman by his face. Don't Russians have this kind of thing?
I do not observe any fundamental differences.

@Atia: We could if we knew what to look at (eyelids, cheekbones, ears). Russians do have a similar type on the Don, but Dad is not that type! And my mother is a gypsy from Romania. Well, in general, we know that the actor is O-Donnell, so it's not necessary to look at his face here =)) However, I agree, except for me, only a few of these Irishmen are probably picked out by type, although there were people from the States.

@Atia: Joe Flanigan, Jim Byrnes, Dylan McDermott, Timothy Dalton, Zach McGowan offhand "black Irish". Timothy Hutton is close.

The blonde version of Matt Damon, JR Bourne, Josh Holloway counts Scots in their ancestors (these attract me less, so it's hard to scrape together names). Perhaps also Thomas Jane, Anthony Lemke

In addition to the above, the shoulders are often wide and very sloping, the most obvious sign is overhanging upper eyelids ("triangular" eyes), ears set high, sometimes pointed; cheekbones are high and noticeable (the shape still needs to be looked at with eyes). Unlike our Donese, the "black Irish" often have a lot of skin around the mouth (fleshy lips? and not only that), but the eyes are the same. Besides, the blue-eyed brunette is just like an ethnic type here and there.

@Atia: I don't know our new actors well, I can only name Boris Khmelnitsky from the old ones. And perhaps Leonid Filatov. But there were many such acquaintances in my life, and if not the 2-3 generation from the Don or even the 1st, then those localities are reflected in the surnames.

@alavitka: I only care about Alex O'Loughlin in all this))) Is it supposed to be of Irish origin there too? :) I could apply your description to him, probably partially, but now I see little similarity between him and O'Donnell. Maybe because the second one ate off a pack, and in their youth they were about the same type. Or not :)

@Atia: Oh"Laughlin is around somewhere, but not quite that type. Well, that is, an Irishman, but not a "black Irishman". The shape of the skull and forehead is the same, but the eyes are not the same shape and color. However, his last name gives you away! All that is on the island and on the Poppy is Ireland (although it may be on the Poppy and Scotland). And yes, Ji ate a pack of be healthy, like a fat cat =))

@Atia: Ha, if you watched the Highlander series, then Welsh people also have a similar, although slightly different type, in this series the actor who played Metos (the oldest immortal) in the Highlander appears in one of the first seasons as a mysterious telephone villain who knows a lot about Cullen. Peter Wingfield, who played him, is Welsh. By the way, so is Christian Bale. And John Barrowman, who has some similarities with the latter (if you watched Torchwood), is Scottish (sort of), although the last two have some signs of a "black Irishman" (deep-set eyes and coloring - the skull is different in shape).

And by the way, Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf and Magneto) is also in the piggy bank of typical representatives. So did Jim Byrne, who in Highlander played a lame renegade Observer, a friend of Duncan's. These two are older. In short, they are there in the cinema - the dominance! =))

In general, these 3 Gaelic peoples are ethnically strictly different from the Anglo-Saxons who seized the islands and sometimes take offense when they are called English because they live in the UK. In Torchwood, filmed by BBC Wales, they pay attention to this more than once. Although, of course, they have mixed up for almost a thousand and a half years, but not in a flat cake, especially the Irish, who - think about it! - they are still fighting against English domination.

God bless the motherland! their signature toast even in America, it seems in "Retribution \ Leverage" it was, where GG is generally the same type. =))

I'm sorry if I'm already spilling too much, the Celtic theme is my old hobby.

Oh, that's not a series lately, then the presence of Russia or Russian bandits is mandatory. To be honest, the idea of a Moscow bar made me laugh, as did the license plate of the car in which the criminals were transported. Although the Russian speech pleased me: informative and almost without an accent.
Well, finally, the main secret of Cullen's name has been revealed, now you need to unwind the remaining tangle of secrets of Grisha Nikolaev's past life.

Hold me seven! Grisha Alexandrovich Cullen!!! =)))
Kick-ass consultant was not hired for such a long Russian story.
And I over-praised O'Donnell - bags under the eyes again (well, or the series was filmed before the last ones).
And Kenzi and Dix, as always, inform the suspect 3 km away that they are from the police (this time they also tell him that it is better to approach for sure in order to calmly pick up and the shooting did not work out, it's over!) %-|

Hm... Russian Russians can't live without Russians at all, they would like to shoot everything about our bandos, but this series seems to have broken all records, then a matryoshka doll, then some other kind of x... nya. I like the series, very much, but damn, every time the Americans TRY to shoot about Russians, I want to yell at the screen: "Don't you know how to... you - don't torment me... oh, fuck!"

не смотря на все минусы того как показана россия и русские, я повторюсь, но они всё-таки стараются, хотя к сокращению имён у меня по-прежнему претензии. типа анна/анастасия, гриша просто гриша. ну в общем по сути, ладно, что-то было плохо, что-то было хорошо, идеально вряд ли будет.

в остальном я порадовалась, что сын нашел отца, или наоборот, главное, чтоб не убили его теперь.
ну и заметила романтические нотки между калленом и анной. вот оно значит как.
