He can make lots of different facial expressions

He’s matesos with Anne Hathaway and Anna Kendrick, so if he needed advice he’d have people to ask

They’re practically experts from their experiences in Les Mis and Pitch Perfect, after all.

If it was a period piece and the men were required to have long hair, that would be no problem because he has the silken hair of an angel

He displayed it well here on Celebrity Jeopardy in 1997, which also featured Kirsten Dunst.  Poor Kirsten didn’t stand a chance.

If they need him to be tough, he can do that because he has a scar

Basically, he’s perfect.
