Is BC the go-to guy for roles of vulnerable men?
I was watching clips of BC as William Carey in the movie "The Other Boleyn Girl" and it occured to me that almost all the roles he's played, certainly the bigger ones, is of vulnerable men, emotionally, mentally and physically. Even in roles where he's the strongest, like Khan in "Star Trek: Into Darkness" and "Doctor Strange", he gives the impression that power and control is something his character has to work hard to keep in hand. It's definitely one of the things about BC that makes him such a compelling and attractive actor to me.
I'm wondering if this trend is something BC is aware of, if it's the kind of roles he likes and seeks out or if directors asks him to play those roles because he does them so well.
