Who the hell is this guy?... never heard of him?


HOW THE HELL IS THIS GUY THE LEAD IN THE PREDATOR MOVIE!!? I know he was pick at the last minute to replace rent-a-Latino-villain Benicio Del Toro but they could least hire someone more well known... I had to look up who he was? and he should know Predator films are a career killer unless your Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I saw him in the Liam Neeson movie, and really liked him. Actually I've seen him in more than I realized. I just watched The Skeleton Twins and he was in that. Perhaps you've not seen him in the right film. I didn't know his name until reading an article about him in Women's Health. They also liked him a lot.

Give me a break. Hire someone more well known?? Screw that. Do you want Tom Cruise again for the millionth time?? How about Morgan Freemasn whose already in everything? it's nice to see a new face and this actor is great in NARCOS and it's nice to see that he's also in the new WOLVERINE movie. Give other actors a chance.

Del Toro, a fine actor, is hardly anyone's "rent-a" anything. I mean, come on.

He's been on the rise since Gone Girl and now he his success has snowballed into an avalanche and by the time Logan is out he will be A-list. He has gotten the most exposure from Narcos. But his performances in independent films and stellar work in more mainstream fare have solidified his establishment in the Hollywood scene. He is one of the most promising actors of the decade and he is STUPID gorgeous.
