Does he just pick shitty movies or is he not offered anything better?

He was great in 300, his acting was good in Law Abiding Citizen, he's done musicals and comedies.

Is it that he can't shake the accent?

Has anyone underachieved relative to their initial momentum like he has?

he's extremely limited, often can't shake his accent, and never found a niche

he is, however, in a franchise

Olympus Has Fallen is one of the best classical style action movies of the last 20 years. It’s so throwback 80s it’s amazing even complete with bad puns.

I just can’t suspend disbelief enough that 90+% of Secret service, knowing of the contingency where a mechanized brigade is the QRF in the event of an assault, would all run out of an armored building straight into machine gun fire.

Watched Den of Thieves (2018) last night and thought he was good in it.

Never noticed until posting this pic, but he's got some stubby little fingers.

that seemed to have killed Dexter's career also. always thought he was a good actor but he sure hasn't been in many mainstream projects

Yeah that’s sounds very very unrealistic not to mention fricking dumb if that actually happened

Let’s not forget the spectre gunship that takes out 2 F-22s and lights up the White House.

He is currently making part 3 of the "Has Fallen" series which will be called Angel Has Fallen.

Eh, he's a pretty terrible actor that is in some fun movies.

If the Boys was made like 5 years earlier then Butler would’ve been a lock for the lead role

He did that movie with Katherine Heigl and that seemed to coincide with his career tailspin.
