Sweden does the opposite.

The reason why there's always a Swedish actor in Nordic films is that the Swedish Film Institute gives funding to movies with Swedish actors.

It's such a silly trope by now, but at least it's the sane and successful way of doing it.

Adding a "tariff" will only result in more CGI slob. What if someone makes a movie with a story happening in Italy entirely by CGI? Would it be tariffed, and if so, what if the Italy location is actually in a galaxy far far away?

As a Dane in Sweden mostly watching European productions this is always so hilarious to me. It's pretty cool though, we should be exposed to each other more!

Nordisk Film does the same so there'll be a token Danish actor in Swedish productions too, like in Helikopterrรฅnet.

It may be slob, but it will be American Slob
