Hollywood Actors in Foreign Language Films

Currently viewing Helen Mirren in The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014), where she speaks a lot of French. Mostly, this is an English language film, but made me think about how many Hollywood stars have appeared in Foreign language Films, either speaking a foreign language or just a few English lines.

Sigourney Weaver did Une femme ou deux (1985) and speaks only French for the whole movie.
Kristin Scott Thomas has had an entire second career in French movies, speaking only French.

Hugh Jackman was in Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2011) and Christian Bale was in Jin ling shi san chai (2011), neither of these films have I seen yet.

I'm sure there are more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Ingrid Bergman was in Autumn Sonata. I know she is Swedish, but she was an established Hollywood actress.

Dreams is a good one. The segment with Scorsese is one of the best.

They've been appearing in foreign language films for decades. For example Burt Lancaster in The Leopard (1965), and earlier than that.
