MIA: Jamie Dornan’s Hollywood Career

Don't you mean Mamie Van Doren?

He has the second season of The Tourist coming up, which was canceled on Max but apparently will premiere elsewhere.

Everyone I know who saw Barb & Star really liked it, and was surprised by how funny Dornan is in it.

Me too, R2. I think he's a decent actor and handsome... he's got years of parts ahead.

Well he's welcome to sit on my face if the Hollywood thing doesn't turn out. Or if it does.

Then again, r4, your face seats five.

Barb & Star is a cult classic - it just had the misfortune of coming out at the height of the pandemic. It's beloved by lots of people and he is very very funny in it. He should definitely do more comedy. He should also fuck me raw

OP, I think Dornan is a better actor than the others you mention. Plus he has a wide range, everything from drama ("Belfast") to comedy ("Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar") to playing a chilling, sociopathic serial killer ("The Fall"). But you ask a really good question and I don't know why he doesn't have more projects lined up. And I, too, thought he was quite funny in "Barb and Star..." and wish he might do more comedy in the future.

Chris Hemsworth has the highly anticipated Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, Furiosa coming out soon.

50 Shades of Failure

How many prequels does Mad Max require?

I like Jamie, decent enough actor and does not take himself too seriously

As long as he keep hitting the gym, he's got several more years of pretty in front of him.

Freddie Stroma is the poor man's Jamie Dornan. However, Dornan could never pull off Vigilante in Peacemaker.

*faints*

Unfortunately I don’t think he is offered a lot of great parts. But I agree he is better than Chris Evans, etc.

He’ll always be a gay icon for those great nudes where he looks like rough trade. Hubba hubba

I'm so grateful that he took these pics when he did...

[quote] ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ and ‘Marge and Barb’ were critical and box office duds.

What the hell is "Marge and Barb"??

He is still hot. He will have a career, given his wealth i suppose he is not panicking. He is a curiously educated but uninteresting actor though.

very Pink Narcissus

Wild Mountain Thyme is up there with the worst films ever made.

[quote]What the hell is "Marge and Barb"??

A new project with Streisand and Marge Simpson.

Like many models who transition into acting careers, he's not very interesting. I don't even particularly mean that as an insult: he seems like a nice, grounded guy. Unfortunately *truly* well-adjusted, normal people don't really read as anything onscreen. They're utterly forgettable. Even the people you're used to seeing who play the 'Joe and Jane Next Door' types onscreen are probably quite quirky in real life. Dornan is not. He's not funny (although he has a sense of humor) or neurotic or cerebral, has zero narcissistic tendencies, no uniquely deep reserves of sensitivity, etc.

He's just a normal guy.... who won the genetic lottery and leveraged it to build a resume in Hollywood. But he doesn't belong there. He said in an interview recently that if he hadn't had his modeling break, he'd be selling real estate in Belfast somewhere. And you can kind of see it, right? It's a bad sign when you're watching "50 Shades of Grey" and the lead actor kind of reminds you of your Uber Eats guy.

He had “youthful” good looks. His hair is already showing signs of receding (curse of the Irish). His good looks had broad appeal at one point in his career, and he was able to be self-deprecating about it in the awful Kristen Wiig movie, but I don’t think he’s talented enough to get parts, in his forties, that rely more on his acting ability. Chris Evans is another one. He’s too one-note (and not classically handsome - very frat boy next door appeal that doesn’t age well).

Is he related to nut job Bob?

He's doing just fine. Read past the attention seeking headline for where he is currently.
