He's very popular in the UK, after his appearances in XMen and The Proposal all the girls in my office know who he is.
I accidentally dropped a load of worthless change in the street. I was going to just leave it there but a burly policeman lumbered towards me and said, "You'd better pick that up, son."
I hate coppers.

I think the point was, there is a difference between known/recognizable and being a big box-office draw.
The movies you mention were not "Ryan Reynolds" movies for most people...they were a Hugh Jackman-Wolverine movie and a Sandra Bullock-romantic comedy. Ryan Reynolds was just "in" them and, for the most part didn't suck.
No movie, since Van Wilder, has been a "Ryan Reynolds" movie.
Maybe Green Lantern will hit big and RR will "arrive."

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
Brian Wrote:What about Channing Tatum for Jack? He did a decent job as Duke in GI Joe.Not a bad choice at all...and with the speed that production is going at, he'll be 33 by the time filming starts (he's 29 this year).
Does he have big box-office draw?
The biggest problem I have with the "international box-office appeal" argument is that the only actors that have that are NOT average-looking, which we all know Jack should be.

How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.

I actually really like Brad Pitt as an actor... nothing to do with the way he looks, I don't find him that attractive. But I've liked him as an actor since Seven.

I just back away...and turn off the DVD.
