I saw him in that pretty ok play "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike". He was hugely overacting, the type of hammy performance everyone says is so great, but isn't. He played a stereotypical hot dumb jock the same way every not-overly-talented actor in the world would play it.

Then he did a role in the "Why did they bother?" film of "Into the Woods". That didn't help much.

I miss when he was he was getting fucked by Topher Grace in the “Get Shorty” tv show. There should have been more of that.

How did they mess up the movie version of "into the Woods" so badly? It is practically foolproof material, as the countless of high school and amateur productions prove. Even the way it was shot was wrongheaded, it was so murky and grey. And of course, Meryl Streep has to ruin everything she touches.

It may still go. It was slated for Disney+ , not theatrical release. Disney+ has a long pipeline.

He was also to do a series with his Game Night costar Sharon Horgan that she developed for the two of them, but her deal expired and it didn't go forward.

I assume his NO TIME TO DIE character is going to be an asshole as that's all he plays.

I like him, though I think Chris Pine bettered him as The Other Prince in INTO THE WOODS. (And I liked ITW more than some others here. )

He has a lead role on some not-very-good drama series on the CBS streaming channel. He's fine. As noted earlier, he works a lot. He seems focused on film/TV (can't say I blame him) but I don't think he'll really break through and become a huge male lead. He's 35, so it's kind of now or never in that regard.

Had a good agent. Capitalized off his hot whiteness, which got him into Into the Woods, Bridge of Spies, and Aladdin. He just doesn't have anything that, say, Chris Pratt or any of the charismatic, interchangeable abs in the MCU have.

Actors of his tier need to rope themselves into a MCU-like franchise quickly to get those fandom points. Sebastian Stan's been coasting off Bucky for fucking decades. Hasn't really done anything else, and is STILL doing it. Is he all that unique compared to other actors? Not really. Dude's hot, but like... he got lucky getting cast back in 2010 as Chris Evans' fucking FRIEND.

Magnussen as a surname might hinder him. Billy Magnus would've been better.

Back in 2008 when Billy started on ATWT as Casey, there was a poster here on DL who claimed that Billy was the boy toy of a NYC based theatre producer. The poster gave the prodcuer's name (a male name) but it didn't mean anything to me.

When you see things like this "Billy Magnussen likes keeping his romantic life private and is probably a single man at this moment. He frequently denies dating anyone during his interviews." I was surprised that Wikipedia lists his height as 5'11'. I have seen him on stage but he was not 5'11'....

by Anonymousreply 52May 12, 2020 2:44 PM

Billy is too strange looking and too unusually shaped for conventional leading roles. But he is frequently cast against conventional leading men like Daniel Craig or Chris Pine because Billy’s looks contrast well with them. He will work consistently but probably not break out.

He has some of the best tits in town but unfortunately Hollywood is not run by Bel Ami.

by Anonymousreply 53May 12, 2020 2:59 PM

I don't know about Chris Pine, but Daniel Craig is fairly short, so Billy's casting makes sense. I don't think Billy is 5'11".

ALL actors lie about their height, just as many still lie about their age. It's silly, because the second you see Daniel Craig IRL or onstage you realize he's not 5'10" (his "official height") but more like 5'8". But it's part of their manly appeal, I guess.

Daniel Craig has an unusual face for a movie star but he has fantastic movie star proportions - big lollypop head elevated by a long museum-sculpture neck. I watched a bit of that awful Cowboys and Aliens movie on HBO this weekend and he's wearing an incredibly well tailored cowboy outfit, he stands out in every scene.

It was a long time ago but from what I remember is he would pretend to like a person and try to get close to them to get them to stage fan events for him, get people to hang outside the studio to treat him like he was the biggest star around. Most of those who came for a few bucks didn't have any idea who he was. He said for them to act like teen girls acted when they saw the Beatles, you know scream and rush to him and beg for autographs, shit like that. Those were some of the milder things. He was said to be a real shit to other actors and crew, not at first but he quickly thought he was god's gift to acting, he was not liked. Add in that it was said he would fuck anyone, male or female if he thought could help his career but that is probably typical of many people, fucking to get ahead in their chosen career. Once he got what he could from someone he would cut them dead, I guess what they now call ghosting. There might have been some other little things but those bigger ones is what I remember. He was not liked, that much I remember.

Keep in mind he was, at that time, an actor on a soap, taped in Brooklyn. He acted like he was huge star. That alone probably pissed off people.

The only other interesting thing I remember from that time is that the actor Roger Howarth had a hot raging affair with some actress on the show and got them to break up another popular paring he was having at the time to make this actress' character his love interest on the show and she was a sucky actress by all reports. She also would walk around the set naked. Nothing interesting was said about anyone else on the show other than some actor, I can't remember his name either, was a religious right nut and pissed off everyone trying to convert them. I really didn't watch the show myself. I tried a couple of times and couldn't really get into it.

The Groff comparison isn't bad! Groff, by all means, is way vanilla, but he's managed to keep his career interesting throughout. He's a gay farm boy who's actually way more talented than the gay farmboy persona, and he's smart because he's played off that persona from the start.

Also, Spring Awakening was a phenomenon in ways that Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike wasn't, so Billy's never even had a true breakout moment.

I forgot he was in Bond. That'll be his biggest audition, cause no one cared about the OTHER singing prince in Into the Woods. They liked Pine, also mentioned upthread.
