I'm working on a Matt McConaughy movie.
In it, he's schlubby, bulging at the gut with a comb over.
There's this perception of good looking guys that if they "ugly" themselves up, we overlook their acting skills (or focus on their acting skills). I guess it's true. Robert DeNiro really lit it up with that style of getting into their character. As far as I know I don't recall any superstar actor ever playing a handsome role and winning an Oscar. It seems that's why gold eludes Leonardo DiCaprio. Playing suave Howard Hughes doesn't take much to play by suave DiCaprio. I dunno. Hollywood seems to reward blind, crooked or crazy.
