Hunky guys with no charisma?


Channing Tatum has to lead the list. I compare him to a cardboard cutout. I'm floored that he has gotten huge roles in movies. So dull. So boring. Stale. Aside from being nice to look at, what else does he offer?

What other Hollywood leading men types have great looks but no charisma? Tatum is the only one I can think of. Cant believe he gets leading roles.

He has charisma and versatility, it`s just that many of his character are frecuently cold or serious, he is being typecast from the beginning of his career, but in this video from the Jimmy Fallon show Channing showed that he can be very funny and be more than just a guy with no expression.

When you have charisma, you brig it too the screen.
Cant't blame the script again and again for being a mediocre actor.

And superheroe actors take risks.
Once playing one, you might be typecast forever, so maybe Tatum should rethink Gambit.

Suggestions?

Gambit is actually the first really cool character that Channing is going to play for the first time in his career, he deserves to break that mold of cold and one dimensional characters to really improve as an actor.

Anthropo, Channing had charisma in the 21 & 22 Jump Street comedies, he also said in an interview that he wanted his character of Mark Schultz to be balance with more personality, but the director Benneth Miller wanted him to be extremely serious and sad in the film, in the case of Mark Ruffallo he has a more normal role to do to be the contrast in the story that Miller wanted.

He was terrible in the Jump Street movies. So embarrassing to watch him. He is the worst actor in history. No actor has ever been so bad since I began watching movies.

I am astonished at how many movies he has been able to star in.
