Well, I'm entirely prepared to believe that he may have hidden depths as an actor, like Flynn; I'll keep an eye out for him.
May it be worth your while.
(He has the dubious honor of being my first-ever celebrity crush, so I might be a tiny bit biased, but you'll have to judge for yourself.)
(In fact, I suspect it may actually be harder to play a convincing swashbuckler than to play a 'straight' part, just as it's easier for a talented comic actor to play tragedy than vice versa. It takes a good deal of credibility to take a larger-than-life character and make the audience believe in him whole-heartedly, rather than just looking clumsy and embarrassed.)
Interesting speculation. I imagine that any actor in such a role would have to trust himself completely; if he doesn't believe in what he's doing, neither will the audience. And looking damn sexy while he does it doesn't hurt, either. *cough*
