Couldnt help noticing after I saw a movie of him that he is just gorgeous and a good actor. Why he didnt make it huge like Brad pitt, Matt Damon, Leonardo Dicaprio, Christian Bale, Bn Affleck is beyond movie. Why didnt he ever get offered to be a lead in a huge action movie like x-men, spiderman, or die heard or a lead in a billion dollar action movie like transformers or some big budget movie. Is it because directors didnt want to take a chance on hom r something else..?

It seems like he's allways playing second fiddle to someone or just part of a group of actors who are all leads like "The family Stone"

I'm watching him in The Silent Witness and he is one gorgeous man for sure.

Even though he is the lead and that movie isn't some big budget film, one has to still wonder why isn't he more of a lead actor in more movies? He has the acting ability and star power and presence to sell a movie and a role, but I guess we will never know. The smaller man (IMO) is just as good as some of those so called "A" list actors we have.

Accept what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be
