He’s kind of in a difficult spot. IT was his first big role, and also possibly his best role of his career unless he gets really lucky with another “perfect fit” kind of opportunity.

Bill needs to put away these psycho/weirdo roles for a bit and maybe do a romcom or two. He’s seriously going to get typecast.
Then again, Eric Roberts is getting too old now…

Quite true, but even with the roles in John Wick, it keeps him in the “sadist/abuser” role in a film. Antagonist vs. Protagonist.
I don’t have any answers either, otherwise I’d rule Hollywood … still, I’d hate to see him get put in that corner for good.

Perhaps he enjoys them or it could be the family decided to assign the roles each sibling was eligible for to reduce any bad feeling. So Alexander gets the more leading-man-without-shirt parts and Bill gets the bug-eyed-freakazoid gigs. That said, Bill has got in serious shape recently, so perhaps he reckons Alexander is getting old enough he can make his move and take over his patch.
