I notice something suspicious about the two genres in which Taylor Lautner has made a name for himself: He’s wrong for both of them. As an actor, he’s too stilted for leading romantic roles (a la Eclipse , or even Valentine’s Day ), and he’s too unassuming for leading action roles (as in the new Abduction , where he narrowly avoids poking himself in the eye ). Quite the conundrum. Even if his shirt-losing prowess is second to none, is it possible that Mr. Lautner hasn’t yet discovered the subgenres best suited to his skills? I say yes! Here, Movieline looks into three new arenas for the budding thespian, who undoubtedly does not want to be known as the junior edition of the oversold Sam Worthington .
