I think its time we start taking the Skarsgard family a bit more seriously. They are (and have been) making serious moves in the business . Thats a proud pops right there.  |

also , Jack Huston should be a bigger name by now . He was gold on Boardwalk Empire ! He was the star of the disastrous Ben-Hur remake. A failure of that scale can kill any budding career as a major leading man. His agents probably should have protected him a bit better, or waited for another opportunity. Or tried to get him in Marvel movie (though everyone tries to get in them) |

I think they are the new Carradines. Not quite A-list (though Alexander is closest), but broadly respected a a family of major character actors. |

Or tried to get him in Marvel movie (though everyone tries to get in them) I'd say that he's managed to avoid having that be too much of a blemish on his resume. Nobody really remembers the movie, and I don't think they remember him being the lead of it, the way Taylor Kitsch is still excoriated for his 2012 "banner year." Ben-Hur was ill-advised and probably doesn't indicate that Jack would make a particularly great leading man, but it's interesting that as bad as it was, it doesn't linger the way certain other flops of the age have. |

In some ways the French have had sad results here - the great Depardieu's son Guillaume was a fine talent (Caesar winner) and young death, and Jean Louis Trintignant's daughter Marie of course the victim of a famous abuse case (fatally) who was unforgettable in the masterpiece Serie Noire and Chabrol's mysterious and fascinating Betty
Sad cases of acting royalty legacy careers cut tragically short......

Ben-Hur was ill-advised and probably doesn't indicate that Jack would make a particularly great leading man, but it's interesting that as bad as it was, it doesn't linger the way certain other flops of the age have. I don't think Huston had a high enough profile for the public to care that he was the star of the failed Ben-Hur remake. Kitsch was a big deal as a public figure in a way Huston never was. Off the back of Friday Night Lights (and being cast as Gambit in the X-Men Origins film) Kitsch was being marketed as THE next heartthrob leading man. Your new Brad Pitt/Johnny Depp etc etc. So obviously when his films flopped, the scrutiny around him was far bigger due to his already massive profile. To be honest, I think the failure of Ben-Hur has affected Huston as much as Kitsch. The industry remembers, and Huston won't be fronting a large scale movie anytime soon, if ever again. They both still get quality roles in a variety of projects (I mean, Kitsch was recently the lead of a prestige television mini-series Waco opposite Michael Shannon, so he's not exactly in career purgatory). All that's happened is the industry is no longer trying to make them A-list superstars/leading men. But both still get decent film and TV gigs and stay employed. |

Huston had a critically raved role on Boardwalk Empire, but he was a supporting character who was missing half of his face, so there wasn't exactly that sort of immediate recognition. Kitsch was indeed supposed to be the next "it" guy when 2012 rolled around and he was seemingly everywhere. I'm glad he got the opportunity to prove his talent with Waco (where he should've won the Emmy in a walk), though. |
