Why hasn't he become a major star?


Isn't he ridiculously good looking to anyone else?

I wonder the same thing about Brandon. Sometimes I think his looks are a distraction, and he's not taken seriously as an actor.

It takes more then just looks, it's the acting ability that's more important.

I came to the same conclusion after his little role in Unthinkable.

For a plucked from obscurity actor like Brandon, you are only as good as your team (whose own self-interest is guiding them) makes you, I wonder if post-Superman there was some disconnect between what his expectation was and what his team understood he could do as he is a limited actor. It may have been a delusion of grandeur thing which does happen (Alex Pettyfer, John Boyega, oddly Christopher Reeve who turned down EVERYTHING including Raiders…) And those actors actually have off-screen charisma, where Routh seems kind of boring.
