Jake Gyllenhaal: Gyllenhaal Apparently Persian: Jake Gyllenhaal gets untraditionally cast as the hero of Jerry Bruckheimer's Prince of Persia, based on the franchise video game. (It turns out there are no actors of Middle Eastern descent anywhere in the world!) Bruckheimer also has high hopes for Gyllenhaal's co-star, Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace), as many of his leading ladies "have gone on to become major movie stars, going back to Nicole Kidman in ... Days of Thunder." Or, like Top Gun's Kelly McGillis, Arterton can look forward to doing voices in Disney Channel's Buzz Lightyear cartoon.
