Well. You're strangely horrifying.

Have you ever tried out for a role? They pick you apart from head to toe if they even tell you why you did or didn't get it.

[a_potato]

I did when I was younger. Didn't get told shit, so I don't know what that says about me, haha. :)

But, there are plenty of people who successfully act and who aren't attractive at all. Looks aren't necessarily the job, although looks can help you get the job.

[(Anonymous)]

Looks get you in the door for a role. They want people of a "type." So if you are a short pudgy guy you don't go for the romantic lead. You go for the humorous best friend. So before you even try out you are sorted by your appearance. So not necessarily good looks, but looks. Have you seen the descriptions of the type of actors they want when they put out those casting sides? It gets very specific.

So not necessarily good looks, but looks.

Well, that's it right there, isn't it? You've shot down your own argument (assuming you're the original anon of this thread).

Yes, an actor has to look the part. But "looking the part" and "being attractive" don't always correspond (and, in this case, it's all a matter of perspective, anyway. Enough people find Cumberbatch attractive for it to be a moot point).

And BC gets cast in lead parts partially (nowdays) because they know he's attractive to quite a few people. It's his "job" to maintain that look. As he ages he'll transition to other roles.

[(Anonymous)]

Tim Roth is one of those people.
