I've never seen a Colin Hanks film before, & I think that he is extremely likeable despite his average looks.
He's sweet, comes across as genuine, & gives off a non-threatening 'aw shucks' vibe, & god knows how many decent guy roles directors write into their movies - the guy who's in love with his best friend, the next-door neighbour, the art school classmate, etc etc. He'll do well in that direction.
At Colin doesn't need to try too hard, & seems natural & comfortable in his roles. Yes, his surname might have helped as daddy has connections, but with Colin's average looks, he would sizzle out fairly quickly if he doesn't have an ounce of potential, which he does.
I agree that he is WAY better than some of the actors out there who are coasting on their looks. Say, Robert Pattinson. Hollywood's current hearth-throb; Twihards stampeding & crying & fainting to catch a glimpse of him, & all that he did was act like a constipated log in Twilight (eeeewwwww). & I don't even think he's THAT great looking. But I heard he's a great guy though. -shrugs-
You definitely have your own perception, but judging by your title topic, it appears that you seem really dead-set against Colin.
