Hi there,
I'm going to be famous in about 2 years time after joining this forum...

But first, I've gotta cut down on my food intake to reach Brad Pitt's body mass index

Glad to be here...

Interesting topic: body mass index.

I'm sure its worthy of its own thread, but before I go ahead and do that, I wanted to get this question off of my chest before I forget...

Is it so that all succesful actors are fairly small people? I mean, they seem that way when you see them in person, or compared to talk show hosts, etc.

See, I'm a larger, muscular guy, 6'1'' and about 220 (very solid). I hear guys like Pitt and Cruz are 5'7'' or thereabouts. Would I clearly never be casted with guys like that because it just doesn't work well on camera? Is there something about the tiny frame that looks better on camera?

On the contrary, big-sized actors typically get action movies parts...
E.g. Terminator...

I get the impresion that most of the the sex symbols amongst male actors that stand the test of time are relatively small framed like Brad Pitt and James Dean amongst many others.

I dont think it was always that way though as back in the fifties and sixties it seems the leading men were played by actors with bigger physical stature.

The likes of Arnie though leading men and action heroes dont make good Romantic leads like the smaller framed gents.

The sexiest male actor of all time would not even be an actor or particularly good at acting and would be Elvis Presley I would estimate people might agree though he wasnt & wouldnt be really classed as a proper actor by many
