I saw a YouTube review of The Beast Within that said, in the critic's opinion, Kit doesn't have that leading man quality and can't carry a film as the star. That's in the eye of the beholder I guess. I do think it's interesting that his biggest successes have been in ensemble things like Game of Thrones and Slave Play. I also saw Blood for Dust, which he was excellent in, and he wasn't the main character there either. Industry's an ensemble show as well, as I don't think his character will be the main lead, just one of the leads. Nothing wrong with being an ensemble actor though, in my opinion.
Do you agree with that assessment? That he's not necessarily a leading man actor?
I think he may be able to carry an action or sword and sorcery film or show. For example, his ill-fated Jon Snow show or something like the Witcher. I think he could do well in something where he's a medieval or ancient sword fighter. (Though Pompeii didn't work out.)
