You don't. All you need is charismatic lines with charismatic stunts.

Generally speaking, any actor could have adopted Ledger's Joker pantomimes/accent. After that, it's the script and the director that end up giving the character any value.

So basically what you are all saying is that any actor can play a role if you have a good director.
I'll remember that next time you are all moaning about an actor you dont like.

Pariah and Clooney springs to mind here!


I was talking specifically about charismatic villains. That's why I referenced No Country for Old Men.

In the case of protagonists, you'd definitely need a good actor.
