And What's With Amber Heard?

I had commented in earlier posts that Amber Heard seemed to be having more success in Hollywood than Dustin Clare. (I had believed both of these actors were right for the male and female leads in Killer of Killers if it would ever be made into a movie.) But I'm not so sure Amber Heard is really having all that much success. Her biggest success seems to be that she married Johnny Depp.

Okay, Depp is a big movie star. But I was hoping that Amber Heard would become a big movie star, too. She really hasn't. She never gets any big roles in any movies or TV shows. For example, the role of Gannicus in the STARZ show Spartacus that Dustin Clare landed was a bigger role than any role Amber Heard ever had in anything. She's been relegated to small roles and bit parts in low grade movies her entire career. She hasn't made the splash I had thought she would make.

And if marrying a man twice her age is her biggest accomplishment, then I'm a little concerned she has reached her peak. I thought that maybe being Depp's wife might give her an inside route to some significant roles and accelerate her Hollywood career. The opposite seems to be the case. Since marrying Depp, the biggest thing that's happened to Amber Heard is her arrest in Australia as a result of Depp's dogs. It seemed ridiculous, but that's the fact.

I still believe Amber Heard is one of the most beautiful blonde actresses in Hollywood. Apparently Johnny Depp agrees with me. So why don't movie directors or casting directors also agree? What is wrong with this picture? Amber Heard belongs up there with Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, and Sharon Stone. Doesn't she? Apparently, she doesn't. At least, that's what Hollywood seems to think.
