Will Americans ever have the acting skills the Brits have? Or will Hollywood keep outsourcing?

You’ve had a Brit Abraham Lincoln, Brit Superman, two Batmans, two Spider-Man’s, almost all the Jedis are Brits. Most of the war stuff like Blackhawk Down and Band of Brothers was mostly Brits.

And given their history of being assholes Brits make superb villains.

Americans are good for the Real Housewives shows or Fast And Furious bullshit where acting skills is just a bonus.

There's great actors on both sides but I think the British tradition of theater is the key factor. There are American actors who achieve success without having a theater background but that's pretty rare. Theater is where actors really act.
