In the "thumbs down" group- Shia...in the possible "thumbs up" pile- Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Although, it doesn't seem that J G-L is letting Hollywood turn him into a leading man (or aiming for it), rather than going for roles that interest him, and if those roles turn him into a leading man, then so be it.

Okay Hollywood, stop trying to turn these actors into headlining stars. It won't happen. HarryWarden Feb 20, 17:12

give Taylor Lautner a few films and then listen for the thud. {nm} lobogotti Feb 20, 17:17

Yeah, forgot about him. Probably since he hasn't had a lead role yet but it seems inevitable he'll fail. {nm} HarryWarden Feb 20, 17:23

Hollywood has offered his abs probably a dozen leading roles. {nm} lobogotti Feb 20, 17:27

They should offer his abs the role of Jack LaLane's abs in the Jack Lalane biopic... get a real actor to play the rest of him though. {nm} secretstalker Feb 21, 03:52

i'm just glad Dane Cook is out of the wide releases. {nm} lobogotti Feb 20, 17:24

Yep, good riddance. {nm} HarryWarden Feb 20, 17:27

Cera ks a ge {nm} krapnek Feb 20, 17:18

how do I delete a post? {nm} krapnek Feb 20, 17:18

Cera is a genious {nm} krapnek Feb 20, 17:18

Jonah and Brand have succeeded to an extent. But yeah, actors need to grow into these lead roles instead of being forced into them {nm} tribefan695 Feb 20, 17:21

after Twilight, Hollywood doesn't care about casting and paying for star power if the film or franchise makes money {nm} mickpix Feb 20, 17:23

it's sad that people like Guy Pearce, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti will never really be wide appeal {nm} lobogotti Feb 20, 17:37

I'll give you the first one but it's obvious why the latter two aren't and never will be. They're character actors and better for it. {nm} HarryWarden Feb 20, 17:40

Agreed! {nm} damenchipguy Feb 20, 19:41

I actually like Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds...be interesting to see how their tent poles do this summer. {nm} Catzan Feb 20, 17:45

'see how their "tent poles" do this summer'...heh heh..."tent poles". I laugh because I'm 12 years old. ;) {nm} Paul2k Feb 20, 19:13

gyllenhall for sure. i'd add eric bana, hayden panatierre {nm} i am numbskull four Feb 20, 17:58

Seth Rogen's pothead schtick has worn thin {nm} Ramdadof3 Feb 20, 18:10

"Prince of Persia" did 335M worldwide. "Love and other drugs" is an ED-medication comedy. Is your point that "leading men" make... second gary Feb 20, 18:15

In the "thumbs down" group- Shia...in the possible "thumbs up" pile- Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Paul2k Feb 20, 19:17

At least most of those actors had some smaller roles under their belt - this whole APETT thing seemed excessively manufactured {nm} ChrisEW Feb 21, 07:37
