Quote - *Btw, Robin Williams isn't a leading man/romantic lead, he's a comedic actor.
- guess you missed movies like One Hour Photo then... where he's the lead and it's not comedy.. or Bicentinial man... no comedy, he's the lead....
Yeah, a nerdy psychopath murder, right? Hell of a romantic lead for your example. (never seen nor heard of BM, but judging by the Wikipedia entry seems he's not a romantic lead there either. The number of people who think of roles like OHP and BM when they hear "leading man" is roughly zero).
Then there's the fact that exceptions don't disprove rules (why do so many people have such a hard time with this? Men are taller than women. YES, some women are taller than some men, but men are still taller, in general ("in general" is implied in the statement, since it lacks the word "all").)
