I think it's a case of people seeing what's loudest. JF has the pretty and DH has the flaily arms and wobbily voice.
What do I mean? I mean that JF is really pretty (and you'll find far more people thinking he's universally hot than say, DH). He's visually stunning without having to do much more than lean against a wall in jeans and a black t-shirt.
The first thing you notice about DH in a show is that he's loud and there. He moves a lot and speaks a lot, all skills having more to do with acting than looking pretty.
And somehow that translates to one person acting (the person with all the speaking and the moving) and one person NOT (just standing there looking pretty). Which I do NOT agree with. I HAVE Taken acting classes and done a LOT of theater and watched a LOT of actors being directed. JF came from a much more structured background yes and I can see that in his acting, but he's not doing any less than DH. I think some people pick up on his contempt for some things that are vaguely related to the show and acting. He is frustrated with the genre sometimes (and in perfectly reasonable ways) but other times he's a 12 year old boy who gets to blow shit up.
But down to it, he's not the big excited puppy as MUCH as DH is and people can pick up on that. As for putting them together on screen, I've often said that DH's pressence is LARGER than JFs in that often he can steal the screen with his antics which can add to the idea that JF isn't as much of an actor. Personally I've seen him learn and grow and pick up things obviously from those around him. That? Is the sign of a tremendous skill and proffessionalism.
There isn't a finite amount of 'acting skill' and you dont' have to mete it out like once you decide someone is the most versatile the next person isn't nearly as stellar. It doesn't occur/proccess through to people that it's not like sucking up all the air in the room. But rather like someone snoring and the other person has sleep apnea. But disturb sleep, but one does it more quietly than the other.
Tangent for others to go on without me with: JF makes against the grain choices for the typical action hero. It throws people off entirely. Discuss.
