Why?

Simply question, just: why?

He's a very average looking bloke, doesn't seem like he can act, is a bit boz-eyed and I just can't get a handle on what people like about him :confused:

What's the big thing with him?

The Dread Pirate · 20 Jun 2011 at 11:36

His main role throughout his career has been to play the comic relief IMHO he fails miserably.

Seen The Green Lantern by any chance?

He seems to be typecast to nothing other than wise-cracking characters and there isn't any sign of that stopping any time soon.

He is Canadian.......

He's going to play Deadpool in the upcoming Deadpool movie as well!

I don't know if there's any hope for that movie, after having seen Green Lantern.

I quite like him, was good in Wolverine and was the only good thing about Blade 3.

I thought he was quite good in buried.

He does my head in a bit. I don't get the appeal either, he's so...normal. He also looks *just* like the husband of one of my best friends, and that freaks me out a little.

No need to make that film - Clint Eastwood original was definitive.

Actually really good in this, it's a shame he keeps going for the wisecrack roles as Buried shows he can act his socks off when pushed.

One reason: Girls find him hot

I think he's pretty average but at least he can act compared to some of the other good-looking male actors.

Tombstone · 20 Jun 2011 at 12:47

I know what my wife likes about him

Personally I thought he was brilliant in the Amityville Horror remake.

Guerrilla · 20 Jun 2011 at 13:15

I don't mind him too much, agree he was pretty good in Buried (or much better than i thought he'd be).

There are actors i dislike much more.

Aslong as it isn't Mark Wahlberg.

No homo, but he is not average looking.

I'd say he was. He's certainly no Brad Pitt.

SourChipmunk · 20 Jun 2011 at 13:25

He gets put in funny roles. I enjoy his movies. I was a fan of "Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place" back in the day also. "Waiting" was real good.

This thread is very macho alright lol

Girls like him, we don't see it because we are men.

IceBus · 20 Jun 2011 at 13:35

You guys need to watch Buried.

Gilly · 20 Jun 2011 at 13:36

Neither my Mum or our lass see any appeal

I only noticed him when he turned up in a Boss commercial. I saw him in Blade Trinity, but he was very ordinary.

[edit]I haven't seen Buried, nor the new Amityville.

... and that's exactly why you have no appreciation for him.

Seriously, he's nothing short of excellent in Buried.
