Gotta agree with Keanu Reeves in _Much Ado_. What _was_ the casting director thinking? There are plenty of yummy actors who both look good and are capable of doing Shakespeare. Why the guy from _Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure_? Heather Graham in _From Hell_ also drove me nuts. That was a painfully bad performance.
