Have you ever considered that it might not be Hayden's fault, and that it was actually the writing?

It has been well documented that a good actor cannot trump bad direction. Not his fault. But as was pointed out to me, if you want to see how good he is, pay attention to his non-spoken lines. He really delivers.

Yes, non-verbals are a huge part of anything. Whether it be public speaking or acting. But you also have to remember that acting is extremely hard. Some people are just naturally better than others, but it still takes a lot of practice. Since I haven't seen the script for AOTC or ROTS, I will continue to give Hayden the benefit of the doubt. If I am proven wrong, then that is fine. But I have had some (very little) experience with acting, and if the writing/directing is bad, the id doesn't matter how good the actor is, he/she will still seem like a bad actor.

A good indication would be to watch another movie of his, and compare the offering.  

Just a thought...

No it isn't. It's merely a question of how well you can pretend. Mimicry or essentially the ability to "con" others is a matter intelligence. Basically the smarter the actor, the better the performance. Hayden's body language and facial expressions speak better of his ability than his delivered lines. I mean, even McGregor sucked in AOTC. It was poorly scripted.

It's not all about intelligence. While that does help, you do need a certain amount of skill. Acting is actually a lot harder then it looks. I am speaking from experience here. HThe ere are a ton of actors out there that weren't that great when they first started, but now they are actually really good. Practice is a big thing, and the better writing/directing, the easier it is for people to learn to act good.

Not book-smarts, raw intelligence. The ability to see/hear and mimic a behavior. It's been proven on nature shows. Mimicry is a sign of high intelligence. And although humans rank among the most intelligent species on the planet, not all of our members are created equally. Wink
