The US isn't short on Tough Guy Actors, the casting universe is short on curiosity and willingness to see, audition available, new, amazing, strong, tough American actors... If the US is short on Tough Guy Actors -- tell me why the brilliant and amazing Bruno Gioello isn't working every day. Don't know him? I wonder why?? Look him up on IMDB He's a GREAT ACTOR, strong, amazing performer.

Chuck-first of all I was glad to see he is from my neck of the woods. But he really hasn't been in anything that was huge (making money). I have to admit I never saw any of his movies but I will take your word that he is a good actor. But an agent gets jobs-what kind of agent does he have???
As for Tough Guy Actors -its all in what you want to call "tough". I don't consider A bulking looking man tough. There are other things -smarts, actionman, charisma, looks, oozes sexuality. Keanu is all that and more. I haven't seen Bruno so does he have any of those things.(I don't like bald men-so looks are out for me at this time-LOL)
