Whose Your Favorite Foreign FBI Drama Star?
In a recent article, it was noted that many of our favorite prime time TV stars are non-American. Looking over the list, many of them are some of our favorite FBI drama stars.
As noted this is nothing new, except what was once just a few foreign actors has now become a boatload. The reason behind the shift is economics, but as viewers, we just simply enjoy our stars.

Lots of excellent actors to choose from, but my favorite is Anthony LaPaglia. Handsome, sexy, terrific actor who ’says’ so much with body language and those amazing brown eyes, he could act a scene without saying a word.
