   Whoa... Orland Bloom. That's an insult. Leo can act his as$ off. He was   
   a brilliant child actor (e.g., What eating Gilbert Grape?, This Boy's   
   Life, Marvin's Room, etc...) and has been a very good adult actor.   
      
   I don't think that he is a box office heart throb anymore and thus   
   cannot carry a film.   
      
   Why didn't you buy him as Howard Hughes? I thought he gave a great   
   performance. Look, I think he has done well to survive being in   
   "Titanic" and "Growing Pains" to be a respectable actor.   
      
   What movie can you name of Orlando Bloom that displays his acting   
   talent. Not his prettyboy Justin Timberlake looking face but his actual   
   acting ability. Leo has a long resume of this.
