Would he be considered an “A-List” actor (more leading roles than supporting roles)? He’s had a number of A-list lead role movies, not so many recently Is he a comedian? no Does this man have other famous relatives in the entertainment industry? His wife is quite famous in her own right Did he have a movie this summer that was generally regarded as a commercial success? I don’t think so ---
