Foreigners in fairly racially homogenous places can get into acting / modeling / promotional gigs pretty easily. A German friend of mine was randomly approached in Manila. She ended up playing a decently sized role in a local movie. No acting experience. I also auditioned for some commercials; the casting agent thought I was handsome. Uh, I'm pretty unremarkable at home, but sure. I'm terrible at acting but it was a fun little activity I'd never have gotten to do normally. It would be a hilarious twist in life to become a star in another country like this guy has.
