Why don't more bodybuilders get movie roles?

[Honour]

lol!!!!!   you are a fucking bitch, no doubt. but...this it is actually pretty funny.    even more so because i saw this thread  title like 10 times before i opened it up. and when i did open it up...i was staring at my own face for maybe 15 seconds before i even realized it was myself..

Hahaha took it well mate, thats funny as hell.

Yeah there is something about seeing some little skinny guy beating up 5 guys at a time that doesn't feel right , Unless he's Bruce Lee of course .

Some of them are just talented enough to pull their asscheeks apart for the camera and that's all.

a muscular body doesn't mean you can jack anymore, buddy. their roles are too limited. I bet there are about 4% of BB outthere that have potential to be taken seriously. Chick has a few acting credit, if he could lend a few more roles, he'll be straight.

Everyone from wisconsin was all excited to see Brett Favre in "something about mary", but it was actually the worst performace........EVER!  bodybuilders don't need to be acting.

well, how often do you see a bodybuilder in a movie unless they are in some street fight or bar fight.

I've got two credits to my name...

My elbow is on-screen for five eighths of one second in a short film made by the Irish Film Board (hardly worth five days on set and two days dressed as a SWAT team member) and I just finished being edited out of another short film. There is some footage somewhere of me standing in different positions around the set while the lighting director barks orders at me...

My Hollywood career can only go up from here...

being 5'6-" 5'8" doesn't help either.   

you obviously know nothing about hollywood actors seeing as how some of the biggest names are in that height range

Yes I can see it now. Ronnie Coleman or Jay in a serious acting role. Get fucking real. Bodybuilding is having a hard enough time filling small auditoriums drawing on their own fans. The general public has no interest in gagrgantuan men on the big screen.
