Since that mythical Leonidas made flesh and blood with touches of epic comics, Gerard Butler's move was to rise to film stardom with new roles that abounded in his heroic hook. Surely without becoming one of the front-line actors, but being recognized enough to appear in any acting book to be consulted by the director on duty.
At first, his physiognomy seems replicated from a Russell Crowe that would have been better preserved than the original. And that already gives a certain advantage to a viewer who is usually happy to confuse Dustin Hoffman with Robert De Niro or Matt Damon with Mark Whalberg. For many it doesn't matter, the point is that they are convincing actors...
Gerard Butler thus continues his career, delivering fast-paced actions with the occasional more intimate interpretation, seeking success and unboxing with the same tenacity.
