Non American actors whose domestic and international castings are wildly divergent?

I'm sure this is a common phenomenon, but because of my limited knowledge of film in general I can't think of many examples. But someone reminded me of the wildly different casting choices made for Mads Mikkelsen in Danish versus international/American productions, and I thought to myself "That's gotta be a bigger phenomenon". So I ask you hexbearians, can you think of some people whose international and domestic acting careers seem to be entirely different? And how would you explain it?
