What would it take for a movie star to be taken seriously as an actor? Like what roles should they play?

Well radically changing you appearance seems to be one way, though that's not always a guarantee (50 Cent lost a bunch of weight to play a cancer patient in a movie no one saw)

Step outside of their comfort zone, playing something a little more challenging than expected. They'd still have to succeed though. A lot of actors tried to step outside the box and failed. It happens.

Mix up their project choice, similiar to what we had Cruise do in 1990s.

All actors are movie stars.
Enough with this stupid pretentious notion that there's a difference between the two.

Learn how to act.
Then actively look for interesting scripts.
Do an audition/test to show you've got the acting chops.

All actors are movie stars. But not all movie stars are actors. Just look at Steven Seagal.

You are missing the nuance of the question or at least pretending to. The OP is clearly using the word "actor" in terms of talent in the art of acting and movie star in terms of someone who can sell movies based on their name alone.

What you are missing is that what makes actors movie stars is that people flock to see them do what they always do and to play in audience friendly movies. If Tom Cruise spent his time making the movies like Magnolia and Eyes Wide Shit for the majority of his career, he wouldn't have become a "movie star." Who are you classifying as a movie star? Is Robert DeNiro not a movie star? Is Al Pacino not a movie star?

I find this "actor" and "movie star" distinction to be incredibly pretentious and moronic. It makes no sense. Movie stars are still actors, IMO. I'm not going to get into a pointless argument over my subjective opinion. You can continue with your thesis. I've said my piece. |

I actually find it a bit pretentious too, but I understand and respect the discussion. There is a middle ground. There is on one side pretentious and on the exact opposite side there are people like you.
