Default yes actors are cast for beauty and personality not character

Well Gott you said it yourself about Pitt. He is a star because he is incredibly handsome. Dont you find "A River Runs through it" to be somewhat suggestive of the course his life took, ie, dumping the beautiful girl, and shacking up with the strange, almost Polynesian looking Jolie and her non-White spawn? Like the character he played who got caught up in the South Seas?

But he is indeed an incredible Aryan specimen isnt he? Let's be frank about this. He was a great pick for Achilles in Troy even if the movie fell flat on the whole. Who else would you have cast for Achilles? If you disagree spell it out for us because I am really enjoying reading your comments here.
