: ... is taht he had one small role in one film beforehand.
He had a pretty damn big role in JINGLE ALL THE WAY, and reeeeeeeeeeally sucked. Like, sucked worse than he did in PHANTOM MENACE. Though I know he had a movie at Sundance this year and was supposed to be great.
:He might BE a good actor, but needs direction, and we have seen George Lucas can baely do that these days. Hayden turned a great role in "Life As A House" to his credit, and can probably work wonders in the hands of a good director.
Christensen was TERRIBLE in LIFE AS A HOUSE. He over-acted the entire time. The rest of the movie was okay, but man did he blow. And I thought this BEFORE I saw ATTACK OF THE CLONES, where he did his Ryan Phillipe impression for two hours.
