  1. Well look what Thor turned into, a total joke, so he honestly was just ahead of their game.

  2. Not like he didn’t try to change his look. He’s a lot of steroids and spray tan away from his Blue Mountain State days.

  3. *actor doesn’t get the part*

    “Yeah I mean I wasn’t trying anyway”

  4. That’s such a weird stance.

    In normal life, a big, burly, Thor looking kind of guy is rare. If he auditions for any local theater version of Thor, he’d 100% get the part.

    But it’s Hollywood… handsome, big, strong guys are a dime a dozen. How could he possibly think that was all there was to it?

  5. After seeing the kind of garbage this guy endorses off-screen I think we dodged a bullet there.

  6. I for one am happy he missed out on Thor because we got Alan in Blood Drive.

  7. The plot of Reacher seems to center around normal looking people menacing this fucking giant monster man with no consideration for their safety.

  8. well either way he would’ve lost it then, cause as an actor he’s for the daytime soaps

  9. This may be a blessing in disguise given the current trend of Marvel and Disney content.

  10. Well he isn’t a great actor so I guess they cared a little about the actors acting capabilities lol

  11. I have enjoyed Richardson in “Reacher”, but…so far I haven’t seen him stretch his acting abilities.

    It may just be that the scripts and director are playing to a specific demographic, but even if he is an incredible actor, I haven’t seen it yet.

    Like John Wayne, I’ve only seen him play one character so far.

  12. He should probably continue to looks for jobs that prioritize looks over acting.
