Close, But No Cuban Cigar

Look out for Benecio del Toro to be making the rounds promoting his new film “Che.” The four-hour biopic, directed by Stephen Soderbergh, presents the Argentine-born revolutionary as a hero, a depiction that Stephen Colbert took serious issue with on Wednesday night’s episode of "The Colbert Report." Below, Colbert assumes that Del Toro must himself be a Commie.

It’s pretty safe to assume that Del Toro is not actually a communist, just as he is not actually an Argentinian. The Academy Award-winning actor was born in Puerto Rico.

Also this week, Salma Hayek joined the cast of "30 Rock." The Mexican-born actress plays a Puerto Rican nurse.
