Is something wrong? you're sweating.

I hardly think so. It’s impossible to sweat when you burn zero calories.

i found the Gavin Belsome (sp?) character interesting in Silicon valley when i first saw him because he was noticeably more dominant than the previous role I saw the actor in American Psycho. Same with the Aviato guy versus his previous sidekick role in Deadpool.

  This is what professionals call "acting"

    you'd be surprised: many actors play the same character in every movie they are in. Harrison Ford and Ryan Reynolds in my opinion.

      A lot of the truly-good actors get called character actors and are considered less important than less-versatile leads. And of course sometimes (often, perhaps) leads are good, versatile actors but every director keeps demanding the same, proven-bankable performance out of them. You see this with someone like Adam Sandler, who plays the same couple easy-to-play characters in most of his movies that make him serious money, but can absolutely act when he needs to (which is mostly in movies that don't make him serious money). IMO Brad Pitt is an example of a "leading man" who's actually at his best in character-actor type roles. He never quite developed that reliable-draw narrow tyepcasting that defines a lot of leads (Reynolds and Pratt are prime examples—you cast them in a big-budget movie for a specific reason, like, there's little question what sort of character they're gonna play) and seems more at ease as a rather offbeat lead or as a supporting character.

        Completely agree about Adam Sandler. Loved his performances in Uncut Gems and also Punch Drunk Love. I also enjoy him in his usual typecast.

      There are hundreds of thousands of professional actors in the world. Very few of them are able to get away with playing the same character, because that rarely pays the bills. But for a few select leading actors, playing the same character in different films (mostly, action flicks) allows them to create generational wealth.

  I was surprised when I learned Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) wrote and directed one of my favorite movies of the past few years, Captain Fantastic
