I have never actually seen anything else he has acted in. Is he really bad at everything, or is he just bad at being Ronon?

    He was a great Aquaman. And I like him on Stargate Atlantis.

    Most of the things he's been in more recently are just not very good writing wise (Dune is not one of these). Even a great actor can't turn shit writing into something good unless they adlib line changes. Him being someone who is generally typecasted for his looks also doesn't help.

    Maybe the problem with his depiction of Ronon was just that he was not good at acting as the stoic "boring" character. Which we have seen can be done well. Teal'c is a fan favorite, as well as Seven of Nine from Star Trek. Both of those characters are intentionally written to be very bland, but the actors were able to act with a performance that people were able to enjoy. Ronon was also written to be a similar stoic warrior type, but unlike those other two examples, his performance just came off flat. I wonder if maybe a character who is intentionally written with more dynamic range and everything is just a better fit for his acting abilities. A stoic warrior is just a difficult act to pull off.

    I liked him as Garrett in A Minecraft Movie. I know that's not really like the best example of good acting lmao, but it's what comes to mind. He was my favorite character in the movie and I even cosplayed as him. I thought him and Jack Black as Steve had pretty good chemistry and were able to bring a plausibly deniable gay angle to the characters. ("Let my hips guide you!")
