Just an awful actor...


And on top of it acts entitled.

I don't know what the guy is like in rl, but here's how shallow I am...you know why I don't like him? Because he's...plain. Just some black dough-boy actor who's just...boring to look at somehow. Like whenever he's on screen, his face actually sucks the 'interesting' out of the surrounding area, he's just...almost too 'common man', lacking the kind of charisma that seems to come to other actors naturally.
He's probably a perfectly nice guy, I just...when I see he's in a movie, I can't help but feel disappointed somehow. And he's popping up everywhere...the guy has been latched onto as, I guess, the next A-lister, so...we're supposed to like him, but dangit, I just can't.
He's the tofu of actors, 10 minute-old cornflakes, mushing around in your movie, sogging up the place with his blah-ity.

He clearly can't act for shit and has only ever been hired due to some ridiculous affirmative action agenda.

For Christ's sake, in 5 hours of Star Wars movies he's only ever managed to make 2 facial expressions : "lost and confused" and "indignant and confused"
