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.
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.
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.
I'm looking at his IMDB entry, and I realise I would need a Jackass exemption for anyone I adore.
My theory on Keanu is that he can't act very well, but he (or his agent or whoever) is damn good at choosing projects.
I am very fond of Devil's Advocate.
I think Superman as strong but not big is an interesting take on it. It would make him blend much better as CK, and seem a lot more otherworld-ly in his abilities as Supes.
