Who did he rub the wrong way in Hollywood?

Does anyone ever wonder why Guy's career never took off after what should have been a breakout role in LA Confidential? That film launched Russell Crowe (ironically another Aussie import) but not Guy and I just do not understand it because both actors showed star potential in that film. My friends and I are always disappointed when we see Guy wasted in bit parts or movies that really do not utilize his full potential.

Does anyone have any legitimate information or theories about why Guy Pearce never caught on as a star?

Guy Pearce is one of my most favorite actors and it's true that he's one heck of an actor. However, I just wish he had better roles. Oh well, I guess he is doing what he loves - that is more crucial than winning Oscars or Grammys.

And by the way, he has just gotten a divorce.
