16. James Marsden
I don’t think this guy can catch a break in movies but we still love him! James Marsden is always the guy that doesn’t get the girl. It has happened time and time again and it doesn’t look like it is stopping any time soon.
But at least that means we get to continually see him on television and in movies! But the true joy of James Marsden is when he talks in interviews. He is just a fun guy to watch and he very clearly loves his craft and what he is doing.
He is one of those actors who doesn’t try and pretend like he’s not an actor. James doesn’t take himself too seriously and that’s a really commendable thing. Like when he is mistaken for other actors and just rolls with it rather than refusing to tell the story because it isn’t about him.
And really, playing all those love interests, he just has to be charming! It’s part of the game. If you’re a romantic lead in a film, chances are we’re going to find you super attractive and fun to watch. Otherwise, why are you a romantic lead? So, James, we love you and we hope you get the girl one of these days.
