No, I'm not talking about Jumper. I just saw "Shattered Glass" a docudrama about Stephen Glass, a fraudulent journalist who worked as a writer for The New Republic magazine. I have to say that I no longer think Hayden is a terrible actor. He certainly has his niche and is by no means "versatile" but I was surprised that he was able to evoke so much sympathy and emotional scenes seemed pretty real. The delivery of some lines felt eerily reminiscent of Star Wars but overall the performance wasn't bad. I think Hayden was either miscast or misdirected or both as Anakin but he's not all that terrible of actor if put in the right role.
