What would be a good language to learn that would help me earn a role in the future?

I know some American actresses have played foreign characters, so what language might benefit my career? I know Spanish fairly well, but I don't think that'd land me any roles as I don't look like a Spanish speaker. I was thinking French, but if you all know...
