I'm one of the few SGA fans who'd argue that JF can actually act.
So, wait. People think he can't act? How do they come to that conclusion? I'm confused. Because I'd seen exactly one thing in he was in before Atlantis, so I didn't have anything to really compare, and I think he can. It's subtle, though. Okay, occasionally not so much, but he gives Sheppard a lot of depth by line delivery. Of course, that's pretty much my take on most of the cast since subtlety is not exactly a key point on the show's writing (more like "Boom! Things go explode! Bad guys die but more come acalling!").
I just don't get it. During the season premire, he delivered some pretty corny lines extremely well. Plus the fact he act in the jumper set is pretty good too, cause wow, that's a tight space with mostly the inability to use lower body language (same with 302s). The man can convey a lot with eyes and facial expression. No, he's not exactly Gregory Peck, but the role doesn't require that serious studious acting. Tongue-in-cheek show and all. *shakes head*
