I was writing a reply here, but then dritfted off.
So I've forgotten what I was going to say. Something about English blokes always being the bad guy.

Edit: Er, I was just talking in generic terms, not actually about No Country...

Sorry.

To the majority of the audience it's all European
Or at least non-American, so it makes little difference.

either English or German/Austrian

he looked and sounded more mediterranean to me
but I don't think he's supposed to be from anywhere

edit: oh right, you're talking about generic hollywood baddies

I haven't seen it,
I'm just commenting on the general trend of Hollywood bad guys.
Russians as well, obviously.

My guess would be that he's supposed to be Mexican
However I don't remember his nationality ever being explicitly stated in the film.

yeah you do get a few Hispanic bad guys as well,
usually with enormous Spanish villa style mansions, featuring a swimming pool and drugged up prostitutes.

The plot of the film basically involves a drug deal gone terribly wrong
It was organised by Mexican gangsters, a lot of the action takes place in Mexico and the character is definitely not American. The actor is Spanish too, so that's what I'm basing my guess on.
