I can see the Kingdom of Heaven type thing alright but.... I still think they should cast to the nationalities so in this case Ezio would need an Italian actor. I mean there are so much untapped talent out there that giving a relatively unknown actor a shot may be the best solution. I do think that Alexander Siddig would make a great Malik, especially if you have seen Hannibal: Rome's Worst Nightmare or the aforementioned Kingdom of Heaven.
