4. Yep. That was part of my problem when I was an actor.

Being a chunky, balding by the time I was 20 male performer was bad enough, but they were all into dudes that looked like models, so I had little chance. The 'greek ideal' has always been a curse to performers who were passed over due to looks, not talent. (I am referring to parts that were not specific, or parts whose physical characteristics were not integral to the story.)

But, I am weird in the sense that I prefer original movies to franchises that go on WAY too long and in some cases did not deserve to be a franchise.
