i am absolutely SICK of repeating again and again that IT IS THE CHARACTER WHICH REQUIRED HIM TO BE WOODEN!!!!!!
will turner is a suck up,traditional romantic stereotyped guy and that's how Orlando portrayed him....
plus the way he played Legolas - graceful,poised,elegant,like a cat...can YOU do that?
plus i don't think it's fair to say Orlando isn't a good actor,hot or not, because for gdness sake EFFECTIVELY HE'S ONLY DONE TWO DIFFERENT CHARACTERS SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GIVE THE GUY A BREAK!!!!!!
AFTER he's done like,over 20 films like Johnny D has done, THEN and only THEN are we eligible to give an opinion on his acting.it's really too early to tell.
well i think that orlando is a good actor i thought he did a great job in Ned Kelly and well JD is a great actor aswell and if ur sick of hearing about johnny and orlando then dont go into those threads
Well I only start coming into this forums recently and I don't know very well, how much people talk about them.
But I think that they are two good actors. Maybe Orlando didn't have his chance to show that yet with a major role, but his carrier is very recent and he will get a chance to prove how good he is.
I also think that we should't judge the work of an actor/actress/singer... what ever... just because they are good looking or because of the things that they fans write or say...
If you are talking about him being some teeny-bopper Tiger Beat heartthrob (with your smilie), then you win the pointless argument because I won't comment on a topic like that.
If you are talking about him not being famous until now, that is dead wrong because he has, long before this, been an actor that could command an audience with just his name as the top-billing. For instance, these films are examples of where he drove an audience with just his name (and I saw all of them basically because of his name even though he's not one of my favorite actors):
The Ninth Gate
Chocolat
From Hell (I like the Hughes Brothers, though)
The Astronaut's Wife (Theron doesn't count as any sort of a billing at that point)
And you could, if you tried hard enough, conceivably argue Sleepy Hollow, but I won't.

If i was talking about him not being famous....then you are correct, i would be dead wrong. but i was talking about the "teeny-bopper Tiger Beat heartthrob" crap...which is indeed pointless, which is why i was wondering why you put up an argument in the first place. Atleast we are on the same page.
OK, agreed. I think I am guilty from time to time of assuming everyone who posts in the Movie Stars and Celebrities forum is completely ga-ga over someone.
Does anyone else feel like they're banging their head against a brick wall in this topic??
Johnny is a great actor, he wasn't as appreciated because most of his films haven't been "mainstream".
Orlando hasn't really had the chance to prove himself yet. He was supposed to be straight laced in potc so you cant knock him about that.
Calm down people, they're just trying to do a job.

no no face it Orlando is nothing special. Never will be. He had a 3 second cameo role in a biography on Oscar Wilde where he played a rent boy (name is self explaintory) basically Oscar walks by and Orlando batts his eyelashes and says in a sweet voice "You want to go?" and then Oscar looks at him like he's a freaky loser (which he is) and walks off. Good job there Orlando... you put so much effort into that. He doesn't even look that good as his role in Troy. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A BAD ASS WHO STEALS THE QUEEN OF GREECE!!!!! but Orlando can't be bad.... not with that "bone structure"
