Why hasn't he got better roles?
I think he can do better than the tv roles like blood ties and being human. Like Hollywood movies , or is this something he prefers (the tv scifi/fantasy roles)?
shareI can't speak for him but I'm speculating that as bad as the economy is-Maybe he's taking roles that will keep him employed?? Don't know if you're aware of it or not but he will be one of the co-stars on BBC America's Copper which premiers this August 19, at 10:00 p.m. No sci-fi present on Copper. Plus he just finished a movie called Dark Hearts but I don't believe it's seen distribution yet.
COPPER is BBC AMERICAs first original drama from Emmy®-winner Tom Fontana, Academy Award®-nominee Will Rokos, Academy Award®-winner Barry Levinson and Christina Wayne. Set in 1860s New York City, the 10-part drama centers on Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones, MI-5), an intense, rugged Irish immigrant cop working the citys notorious Five Points and up to the contrasting worlds of elegant Fifth Avenue and an emerging African-American community in rural northern Manhattan. COPPER premieres Sunday, August 19, 10:00pm ET/PT.
He certainly has the talent to carry off larger roles, I just think he hasn't been lucky enough to get the right people to take notice of him maybe? A lot of us are hoping that Copper will take off for him and that he'll be offered better roles.
