Damn, maybe Cameron will recast him for the sequel.

Worthington has the charisma of a cardboard box.

Well, perhaps he can find himself in one of the sequels. Damon is doing fine regardless.

I thought Sam Worthington was excellent in \”Avatar\”. He did exacttly what the movie required. The lead in an epic like \”Avatar\” doesn\’t need to be extremely nuanced, intense, or even that complex. He just needs to stand as a moral center and develop as the audience\’s surrogate.

Having a little-known actor like Worthington was a necessity, as it was easy to look at him and see \”Jake Sully\”. With all due respect to Matt Damon, who\’s a terrific actor, I wouldn\’t have been able to buy him as easily in \”Avatar\”. I would have seen the star, not the character.

Bit harsh on Worthington, no?

Check out Somersault – great Aussie indie flick with Abbie Cornish if you want to see Worthington work with a decent script

Yeah, sure, Avatar was forgettable but Damon wouldn\’t made BANK off his star power.

They paid Worthington pennies in comparison.

Missing out? Avatar was a piece of shit. BU was at least half-decent.
