I suggest that the two concerns aren't really related in the sense that at worst, box office "poison" means he won't get cast in *leading* roles which he's not necessarily suited to anyway. It wouldn't stop a) directors desperately wanting to work with him (if you've got JJ and Spielberg fawning over you you're batting big) and b) being cast in fabulous character and/or indie-style roles. Which I think is mostly what we (okay, I) want anyway.

I'm sure you knew all that - don't let the online negativity get you down. I mean, they're not going to watch anything he does anyway *g* *pats*
