Why isn't Patrick Wilson a bigger star, America ?

I've just turned the TV on to 10 minutes of his naked body fucking Winslet from all angles and I can't put my jaw back up where it should be. He's incredibly hot and beautiful of face, and I understand that he's a good singer and can do Broadway. What gives ? All the Chrises put together have nothing on him, do American women not like him ??

Little Children is a 15 yo film. Patrick Wilson is handsome, charming, talented, sexy, but he's past his prime now. He didn't catch on in his 30s. No big hit series or movies. It is what it is.

I've always gotten the impression that he's kind of a douchenozzle.

I don't know where or why, but I always associate him with those people who decry the commercialism of "films" in favor of "cinema" who always talk about the "art" of acting.

He just seems like a lot of work that people are not going to want to deal with since he's not a huge audience draw nor such a great actor that you'd be willing to put up with him to get that Daniel Day Lewis caliber performance.

He's the good looking college kid in campus theatre and summer stock, getting all the roles and performing them well. You see him around and find him kind of dreamy, and he's not gay but he's seductive with everyone - that's his trade. You show up early to get a good seat in the black box experimental space to watch him in Bent so you can get close to his dick, and it's perfect. He smells like an athlete. He makes a successful if not brilliant career, but he's never better than he was at 21.

The movie was a snore fest, but Pat was hot in it. He didn’t really get naked but his scaly underwater suit was skin-tight. Tbh the only sexual tension was between Pat and Nicole Kidman who played his estranged mother - it was pretty weird.

But he just doesn't stand out or draw focus to himself.

When I saw [italic]Evening[/italic] I remember thinking to myself that Hugh Dancy should have moved to the big city with Claire Danes, where he'd have found much hotter and more interesting guys to get involved with rather than tragically mooning over his unrequited love for Patrick Wilson.

[quote]Did you mean to post a different article where he actually says he’s a Christian, [R43]?

No. The article I posted actually explains 𝑤ℎ𝑦 he's a Christian, and it's for a really stupid reason. Look, if it happened to be because he was raised in a Christian milieu and accepted that acculturation, I could understand that. But to gravitate to Christianity because he was impressed with Ed and Lorraine Warren's occult bullshit (to which he was exposed because of a film he starred in) simply floors me. It would be like somebody deciding to become a Christian because they'd seen 'The Exorcist' (1973). It adds a layer of toxicity to the belief that most of it doesn't otherwise usually exhibit.

He was exceptional in Hard Candy with Ellen Page. He does suspense very well. The only other thing I've seen him in is Little Children. He just doesn't have what it takes to carry a film, sort of like Alexander Skarsgard. They're both beautiful but maybe they don't care about or need to be a star.

Hugh Jackman was so embarrassing in ' Les miz'. That's exactly my point. Jackman is fug, mannered, gay, and couldn't act/sing/dance his way out of a paper bag. Wilson would have been terrific in that movie.

by Anonymousreply 145August 9, 2020 8:30 PM

The big problem with the singing in Les Miz was Tom Hooper. I doubt good soldier Patrick would have nixed Hooper's "vision."

Wilson would have been terrific as The Baker in Into The Woods. Not that it would be hard to be better than James Corden.

by Anonymousreply 146August 9, 2020 8:53 PM

I still can't believe that James Corden has an acting career. That revolting sow. I find his mere presence in front of a camera offensive. The only time I watched his stupid show, the guest was that english boys band bloke, the one who was in the Robbie Williams band, the pretty blond hunk. Corden said to him ' back in the day you were a porker'. Seriously. I could never watch him again after that, even when he interviewed Dan Levy. What a CUNT. I don't want him in my Patrick Wilson thread. It's exactly what I' m talking about. A guy like that is EVERYWHERE. While a fine, accomplished, beautiful actor is struggling to get leading roles. That 's wrong.

[quote] The stupidest thing I saw of him was when they inserted him singing an Elvis song in one of those horror movie sequels. Ridiculous beyond belief given the genre of the film.

I normally roll my eyes when they do that but I thought it was rather effective in this instance (The Conjuring 2). It showed how his character was emotionally connecting with the family who was falling apart, and it was just Patrick and a guitar...not some big musical number.

Screen charisma has very little to do with being able to put over a song well. Screen charisma has to do with being able to photograph well and capture the camera eye. It's almost impossible to learn or teach.

There have been all kinds of stage stars who just did not make it into the big leagues for the screen, despite their acting ability and even good looks. Tallulah Bankhead is a famous example; Mary Martin is another. Raul Esparza is handsome, has a terrific voice,can act very well, and is a magnetic presence on stage, but he also has never been able to make it onscreen.

Marilyn Monroe is an example of someone for whom having that screen charisma overcame all over shortcomings,. She was often paired with good-looking co-stars who were sometimes much better actors than she was, such as Laurence Olivier or Yves Montand; and though they themselves were screen stars and had a certain degree of "it," when they're onscreen with her you can only look at her. As far as the camera was concerned, there was no one else when she was onscreen.

R264 and R265, I agree with much of what you say, but I hope you realize that, ultimately, the question of who has or doesn't have charisma on screen is HIGHLY subjective. For example, I would say that Tallulah Bankhead demonstrates tremendous screen charisma in LIFEBOAT. And P.S., Raul Esparza had a very successful, long run as a recurring, major character on LAW & ORDER.

If he wanted to be a big star, he'd move out of the suburbs.

ISHC, even in Montclair.

He's an amazing singer. One of my all time YouTube videos is him dueting Almost Like Being In Love from Brigadoon with Kelli O'Hara.

Has anyone worked with either of them? They have superb voices.

I like older guys, but he's "meh" I'm afraid.

by Anonymousreply 270June 18, 2021 10:28 PM

He doesn't seem dumb enough to be a big box-office star. He's played in too many thoughtful roles, abd that's a turnoff to people who just want to see big muscles and a dumb expression run around and fire guns for 110 minutes.

He's a classically trained actor too. Sometimes there is no reason; it's also down to a lot of luck and connections. Same is true of those who are undeservedly famous. He seems like a stable person outside of work, stable home life and lives outside of Hollywood. This may have also been a limiting factor in itself.

Maybe he is just the opposite of most people today who want to be famous to be famous? Maybe he actually enjoys acting and primarily pursues work that interests him.

Most movies today are really terrible.

I wonder if any DLers have worked with him?

R269, I saw that video a couple of years ago and fell in love with him. He is so engaging, talented, and sexy singing that song. He swept me off my feet.

R232. Looks like he had hair issues 20 years ago.

And a major nose realignment.

I’d still fuck his ass.

I just wonder why, given the great voice he has, that he isn't more widely known around the world?

by Anonymousreply 277June 19, 2021 7:29 AM

He’s so beautiful. He has a nice cameo on the first season of The Other Two. I honestly can’t think of a hotter male performance than his in Little Children.

But as someone said upthread, I don’t really think about him until I happen to see him in something.

That's because he doesn't do superhero movies, cavort with Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift, isn't posing half naked in People or on the cover of Men's Health. He seems to be more of an actor than a fame whore. Fame whores are on our minds more because they're being shoved in our faces all the time.

Maybe partly because the type of singing at which he excels is not very popular these days.

[quote]But as someone said upthread, I don’t really think about him until I happen to see him in something.

Maybe partly because he doesn't have a very distinctive or outlandish look or personality like so many famous performers. He's just a very talented person who comes across as a really good-looking nice guy.

R280 How would you categorise his type of singing?

R281, Patrick Wilson's type of singing is the type of singing that he does. The kind of music he sings is far from the most popular type of music in America today.

by Anonymousreply 283June 19, 2021 7:09 PM

He's got a surprisingly good voice. I had no idea...

Because not everyone can be a big star. He’s also too old now to become one, too basic and too normal for Hollywood.

by Anonymousreply 288July 4, 2021 11:24 AM

R287 thanks, best thing that happened to day. That explain his glorious glutes. Nice bony feets too

by Anonymousreply 289July 4, 2021 12:13 PM

Because God is occasionally merciful. A lot of annoying actors blow up and then we have to see them all the time in stuff. Thank god that never happened with this guy. I wish someone would release a version of Watchmen where we don't have to see his pussy take on the character or his disgusting sexual encounters.

I just started Season 2 of “Fargo”. That man is perfection! The face. The ass. The gait. The confidence…. He deserves to be a superstar but maybe that would spoil him. Heck, I would PAY to see that man. And I am sure he is hung.

[quote] Why isn't Patrick Wilson a bigger star, America ?

He looks epicene.

His nose is almost as long as Julie Andrews'.

by Anonymousreply 292February 19, 2022 9:57 PM

His eyes are too squinty.

by Anonymousreply 293February 19, 2022 10:00 PM

He's great--both handsome and a decent and intelligent actor. He's found a fine niche for himself in horror films and gets his pick of roles in them. What more does he need?

by Anonymousreply 294February 19, 2022 10:03 PM

He looks like he belongs in a boring June Allyson movie.

He looks as dangerous as the late Carleton Carpenter.

Few men look great in a 70’s Minnesota State Trooper uniform. He does. I love those squinty eyes in a man.

by Anonymousreply 296February 19, 2022 10:05 PM

Learned a new word, R279. Epicene. Are you an actor? I have never heard this word in 25 years in US academia.
