Re: inexplicable leading men
[ QUOTE ]
I'm amazed no one has mentioned Colin Farrel yet. Awful actor.
Alexander and Miami Vice were both atrocious.

I don't think you get the point of this thread. It's not "bad actors who are stars WTF???"
It's actors (good or bad) who have been cast as leading men when they shouldn't be. Sometimes it works out to go against the grain - Dustin Hoffman, for example. But usually, a leading man looks like Tom Cruise. I mean, you wouldn't cast William H. Macy (as good as he is) as the lead in Top Gun, would you? That's what I mean.
Colin Farrell is definite Leading Man material, whether or not you think he's any good.
