    Because theatre (proper English theatre in the tradition of the Shakespeare revival) is dead and was killed by gay American method acting.

      Method acting is Russian in origin.

          Prior to this generation everyone agreed people who went into theater were gay or deeply closeted. Now that black and brown people are dominating theater, suddenly it's a non-gay medium for traditional male roles.

            Although we speak English I think it would help understanding if you were to define the country of origin this perception comes from? Because in the UK this does not exist.
            Perhaps in the U.S. it does.

              Nobody gives a flying frick about theater in the UK. Leads me to believe you were about to agree with me but that contrarian homosexualry got a hold of you.

              You're one zesty Black person.

              Sir John Gielgud - gay
              Sir Ian McKellen - gay
              Sir Robert Helpmann - gay
              Charles Laughton - gay
              Sir Derek Jacobi - gay
              Sir Nigel Hawthorne - gay
              Sir Dirk Bogarde - gay
              Stephen Fry - gay

              there are also rumours about Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier, Alec Guiness and Cary Grant. Richard Burton famously said that almost all actors are latent homosexuals...

              the Puritans complained about the sexual immorality of the theatre in Shakespeare's day.... it is simply an objective statistical fact that gays have a tendency to go into performance arts, it's just their nature. it's because of their slightly feminised brains. it's strange that people deny the existence of biological behavioural differences between men and women when gays and lesbians are the exception that prove the rule.

    Theatre acting is probably full of talentless diversity hires too. I know theatre is from a playwriting perspective.

    Acting back then:
    >Standing into the real deep mud pool in a real tropical jungles under real rain, while acting

    Acting now:
    >Standing in front of green screen few miles away from cozy home, still coming off as pretentious shitty gay

    Modern actors dont deserve the money and fame they get.

    Movies used theater actors back then because they were a fairly new art form and there were more theater actors available.

    Tom Hiddleston as Loki is theatre trained, there are a bunch other anons mentioned Benedict Cumbersnatch.
    But yes I do understand your meaning, take the absolute Gold Standard of what movies should be aiming to aciheve, Lord of the Rings trilogy and their cast was 90% theatre trained and even the ones who weren't benefitted greatly from the talent and experience of those theatre trained actors and implemented it into their own performance.
