The picture doesn't illustrate the trope at all and only makes sense for the people who have seen X-Men.

It could do without a picture (like Creator's Pet), but if we want a picture for this article it has to be something in the style of the Star-Derailing Role pic.

That's a textbook JAFAAC, yeah.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Pull as definite JAFAAC and search for suggestions. I don't really get the image on Star Breaking Role, though I understand what it is, so it'd be nice if we could have something in a different style.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I think if we have an image that is famous enough it would work.

Harrison Ford as Han Solo seems the best bet to me.

It'd still be JAFAAC and suffer from Fan Myopia. I've never heard of Harrison Ford before, though I have seen Star Wars. The chances of there ever being a suitable image based on popularity alone are effectively non-existant.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I'm voting against a pull-before-replacement on this one. It's definitely JAFAAC, but I've reminded myself recently that Eddie has gotten onto us before for being too quick to pull pics that don't suck to the point of actively hurting the page...I need to bump that thread.

What seems logical for this is a chart of some kind showing a sudden rise in an actor's popularity. Also, we could do something like Star-Derailing Role, as was previously suggested. Tom Hardy immediately comes to mind...he was in Star Trek: Nemesis, and after that underperformed he kinda vanished for a while, and then he was in Inception and now he's had several big roles.

Motion to pull seconded

Give me an actor and a couple of movie posters we can use in the style of Star-Derailing Role and I'll happily photoshop them for you.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity. The overall vote is to pull for JAFAAC, and I'll do that shortly.

EDIT: Done, locking up.

He was an accomplished stage actor in Australia before this. Because of this, you know who Hugh Jackman is.
