The hunky actor
Hm? Jim Caviezel looks like he weighs 98 lb. soaking wet. I am basing this on movies where he is still intact at the end, like Frequency, where Dennis Quaid looked like he coulda eaten the guy for breakfast.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's very pretty, but slight. I think it's insane, and hope it's more Bond-like rumour.

I never felt scared for Jennifer Lopez in Angel Eyes because it looked like she could break him in two with one bump of her... hip.
Then again, if Bale can put on 60 lbs. of muscle between The Machinist and Batman Begins, maybe there's hope that a trainer can do something with Caviezel. At least we know he can act, which is more than I can say for Welling.

I think (fear) his bones sabotage him. I mean, Guy Pearce is patently capable of putting on the muscle -- but he's not big hero-looking guy.
I think Caviezel's eyes might be able to save my soul, but I doubt his biceps could save my ass.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Keeanu Reeves is 40 today. For all that he's perceived as pretty-but-dim, he's put together a pretty good filmography. River's Edge, Bill & Ted, Parenthood, Speed, Matrix. He's got a few excellent guilty favorites like Point Break and Johnny Mnemonic.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Devil's Advocate was pretty cool, too.

Devil's Advocate was pretty cool, too.
But not so much for him as it was for Al Pacino's portrayal of Da Devil - one of the top Satanic performances in cinematic history, I'd say. Although I'm also fairly partial to De Niro's Louis Cypher from Angel Heart.

Johnny Mnemonic is a favourite? Even guilty? How?

I liked the junkie dolphin. Also, Johnny/Keanu's collar was neat.

Anything with Rollins in it is a de facto guilty pleasure.
