Couldn't act his way out of a paper bag


This guy is seriously terrible. His only two visible roles -- Entourage and The Devil Wears Prada -- he plays a douche. Not even good at playing a douche and wasn't supposed to be playing a douche. Just awful.

You know i used to think he was a bad actor but that was back when i was overly judgmental and couldn't see it. He's actually not bad. But I've only really seen him on Entourage, and I'm not sure how much "acting" is required there

"Not bad". Bad is a negative. If you have to use a negative to describe how good someone is, they ain't good. If you're going o a blind date, do you wanna hear that the date is "not bad"?

OP: completely agree. He's a vapid pretty boy. (And at nearly 39, he won't be pretty much longer.) He's the perfect choice to play Mark Wahlberg.

its true, dont get me wrong I loved entourage but in the last 2 seasons where Vince is doing smoke jumpers and the director is screaming at him since he sucks in the scene and is not believable. Well he is spot on.

I watched Goodbye World the other day which has Adrian as one of the leads, his character breaks down and starts crying, it was seriously cringe worthy and crummy acting.

Again, not hating on the guy, OP is right though. Its easy to see why he has never had any major roles bar Vince.

He is terrible actor. Which may be why he was chosen to represent Marky Mark.

Ok he's a pretty boy as you say.
He also grew up not having a dad and yet still learned to play the drums a guitar and the piano.
Has a half descent career in acting too.
All this is not easy without both parents to guide you in life.
So stop being such judgmental muppets and give the guy a break.

Whateves... I like him. He really good in that "Adventures of Sebastian Cole". I was literally watching that episode today where he's doing smoke jumpers and Stellan Skargard was the director yelling at him dying he's terrible... nothing for nothing, but I took away that Adrian, as Vin, was suppose to be kinda off in his performance.

There's really not a lot of meat all the time in any of the roles save for Ari and Drama.
