The reason I bring up domestic totals is that the studios are more concerned with the US market when it comes to casting an iconic American character than the international markets.

hmmmm... yeah, I hadn't considered that about avatar. still, if I was him (and only getting 3 mill a film), I'd be making my agent work the phones to get better offers. then again, maybe he doesn't care about money (and that IS the best he can get). what do I know, I'm just a biology geek in flyover country.

If he didn't look like he does, he wouldn't get the roles he's gotten to date.

There's really no appeal to him other than a pretty face. He doesn't have a classic appeal like a Jon Hamm, he isn't funny & handsome like Brad Cooper or McConaghey, he's not a big buff badass like a Vin Diesel and he's not an "everyman" like Matt Damon.

He's the face of Sci-Fi/Fantasy flicks that need that pretty face to appeal to women.

still kinda surprises me he can't get more jack than that. I'm a big fan of 'strike while the iron is hot.' while he may only be pidgeonholed into certain roles and not have much in the way of acting chops, I'll be damned if I wouldn't be trying to take advantage of the situation.

I'd be shocked if he didn't receive back end from Avatar & Clash.

Terminator, probably not and wouldn't matter anyway since the company that owns the rights went bankrupt, again.

either way, good for him.

anyway, enough of bitching about how much cash an actor who I don't really give a flying **** about makes.

There was some financial-lender business in Wichita some 20 years ago or so that use to use the "Loan Arranger" in their adds. Shit, now that I think about it, it was more like 30 years ago or so....
