Highlander the Source

Does it matter whether the lead actor is a Scot or not? The last time I check, Butler isn't from Sparta and yet he plays a Spartan Leader!!! The blind obsession of needing a Scottish actor to play the part of a fictional character is sickening.

It is because Lambert in the original is Belgian. Just like to have an authentic accent. Hated Tom Cruise in "Far And Away", though Nicole Kidman did well enough.
Further, I like Butler as an actor. I do not know any of Thomas Jane's work.
Connery as an Egyptian Spanaird with a Scots accent was just silly.
I'd also like to point out that I'm not a Scot, but of Dutch & German heritage.

With all the various British accents in "300" I began to wonder if Sparta was located somewhere near Yorkshire.

Interesting news. I wonder who will play the Spanish Peacock? Antonio Banderas could be a good choice.

Naw, get Lambert to play it!

Naw, you need somene with a bit more of tan - Villalobos Ramirez was originally an Egyptian ("died" while making a pyramid, if I remember right).

And before someone follows up the "tan" remark -
George Hamilton as Zorro the Gay Blade - yes.
George Hamilton as the gay Spanish peacock - no.
