Even by the standards of action movies, the Fast and Furious movies have incredibly limited emotional range.

I was looking at his IMDB page, and maybe the claim is literally true. Back in the 1990s he was in New Jack City, then Saving Private Ryan, and then The Iron Giant. Those were well written movies with emotional range.

Since then it has basically been Fast and Furious, XXX, The Chronicles of Riddick. The only real exception has been the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff, which were goofy superhero action movies, but still had a bit of emotional range. But his acting in those was limited to voice acting where he only ever said "I am Groot!"

So, maybe he's been so flooded with shitty emotionally dead scripts for so long that he can actually be brought to tears by a Fast and Furious script.

Not sure if you've ever seen the Reddit version of Fauxmoi but it's mostly about pop culture and gossip.

Feel free to post an article or five, since no one else is.
