I’m constantly astounded at how often actors with limited-to-no versatility become so popular and make so much money. Michael Cera, Tom Hanks (since Forrest Gump), Nic Cage, Will Ferrell, Keanu Reeves. These people should be supporting characters at best. I’m not saying these people don’t have their place, but if that’s all it takes to be successful in Hollywood, please give me a film contract to sign.
I was going to say, OH NO YOU DID NOT SLAMDUNK TOM HANKS. 80’s Tom Hanks is the shiznit. JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO!?!?!?
Tom Hanks has not been in a role in the past 15-20 years that I thought qualified as great acting. He’s an okay actor in leading roles that he shouldn’t get. He seems like a genuinely great guy and I wouldn’t mind having lunch with him, but I don’t understand why he seems to be America’s #1 leading man.
Kruger and Dunning proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:
- tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
- fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
- fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
- recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they can be trained to substantially improve.
