Just a Face and a Caption: Cult Actor

The current image and caption for the page are:

It seems very JAFAAC to me, seeing as someone who doesn't know what Blade Runner is would probably be asking "Who is this guy? What 'tears in the rain' bit?". Plus, the caption doesn't really have anything to do about the fact that he's a cult actor. Motion to Pull.

That page is awful. I don't think it should exist at all; it is just a list of actors people like. Oh wait, this is IP, can't suggest that here :(

Yeah the image is way JAFAAC. Not to mention Blade Runner is huge and Rutger Hauer is A-list, even if that were okay, neither is hardly "cult".

Who is that guy?

I don't know, but...

There are fans of some show who know who he is and why you should care.

Love the example, but it makes for a terrible picture. I'd suggest cutting the picture and accidentally the rest of the page as well.

It's a face and a caption from a film that isn't even a cult film. Kill it. And get rid of the page, while you're at it.

Hm, how to picture this so that people get the trope when the definition explicitly says that most people shouldn't recognise the actor... kind of a paradox, really. Put me in the "It's not a trope, cut it." camp.

Well, TRS is over the thread limit right now, so some stuff's gonna have to be cleared from there before we can make a topic for this.

Can it be solved by this thread?

Debates about the article itself aside, should we just pull the pic?

Quite possibly; go ahead and suggest it if you haven't already.

Here's the TRS thread; input's welcome.

EDIT: There's a crowner in the Trivia thread; it's at a 7:5 ratio, so if you want to see it cutlisted and you haven't downvoted it, go for it.

The TRS has decided to cut this page, rendering this thread unnecessary. Locking.
