Timothee Chalamet Reveals Important Acting Advice He Received: No Hard Drugs And No Superhero Movies

@thecupidstunts: Acting goes beyond crying on camera. I doub you will say that just because Keanu doesn't do Othello like Kennet Branagah, it not an actor that is willing to spend hundreds (if not thousands) of hours on the shooting range, or practicing his lines.

Acting is integral, but it's true that some actors are betten than other on some fields, and some are more integrals than other. Di Caprio it's a good example: everybody knows that Leo stops exactly at the required mark, but you will never saw him being the next terminator or the next Cobretti...

@thecupidstunts: Schwarzenegger and Stallone were action stars. They were at their peaks in the 80's when you could get away with doing things like that for more than 2 or 3 films. But even then, what are arguably their most famous roles are both in movies that are considered classics. Rocky is the quintessential underdog story, and Judgment Day was groundbreaking not just for its action and pioneering special effects, but its characters and story.

Consider how many stinkers Stallone was in after the 80's, and how frequently Arnold has been mocked (affectionately or otherwise) over the years, and I think the pattern holds.

@P00DGE: Again, it's too early to make that call. If the Chrises and Toms are still getting roles in another 4 or 5 years, THEN you can say that getting discovered in superhero movies didn't kill their careers.

Also, you're thinking too much in terms of profit. Not every actor is just in it to make a buck, some of them actually want to take more serious roles and win awards and that sort of thing. Having your name associated with big comic book franchises first and foremost makes that exponentially more difficult, especially when you've done nothing but for near on a decade.
