Box office stellar but he's not the reason moviegoers watch his films


I don't understand why studios keep spoon feeding him to us. I've considered that he's not the magnet to watch his box office movies in the past and future, usually he's just as supporting roles. His publicists/agents could be the strongest team among Hollywood celebrities. It's unfair.

He got a late start in acting and is for sure making up for lost time!

I agree. He does have great box office but half of his biggest box office numbers are from movies starring Robert Downey Jr. or Ewan McGregor. In fact one could argue he doesn't deserve to be one of the highest grossing actors of all time. Supporting actor absolutely...but not as a lead since he usually has a supporting role. Actually I may just turn this into a separate thread to discuss.
