Hayden was a good teen actor who became a bad adult actor.
I disagree. I think he's a fine adult actor. I don't think young John Gielgud could have saved Anakin the way he was written and directed.
I think if Hayden hadn't been Anakin he'd be playing character parts in a lot of movies, with maybe a shot at a leading man here and there, but probably not in an action film.
