First off. Id bet my life he ISNT the "Hardest working person in Hollywood. I get that you were really talking more along the lines of big name actors, but yeh theres no way hes the hardest working person in hollywood there would be hundreds of people busting their asses for tiny thankless feature roles on small tv shows while also doing an 8 hour shift at some beep hotel/restaraunt on the side in order to pay the bills.
Second, and adding to that, He has been in some major movies, so many actors will go their whole lives, and do hundreds of side character roles, work their butts off and not get anything close to what he has gotten, I think it is an honor and a privilege to do what he does.
Third, The Guy is AWESOME. What a great actor with great variety, and hes perfect for flicks like Underworld and even twilight, hes so menacing in his roles and he can bring an air of sophistication and class to each role, they said Pete Postelwhaite used to bring everything to every role (no matter how $hitty) and THAT is the sign of a truely marvellous actor. So many people would feel blessed to get any work, even if they are what some people consider "crappy, thankless roles" so to speak. So yes, Acting is a field where you can play great roles in a play or something, and do an amazing job but not get paid or take a major pay cut etc.
If anything I think it shows that he lacks a massive ego, and doesnt think that he is "above" the roles he is offered, I admire that and everyone could take a page out of his book, dont be so precious and be grateful for the opportunities you are given. I lost a lot of Respect for Franco, he has had numerous interviews in which hes been whining that hes been given sub par roles and scripts e.g. Planet of the Apes, and he continues to complain when hes making millions and millions of people arent making $hit.
Ok thats my rant over. I Hope Michael continues to work and bring great performances to every film he is in. What an inspiration! -

It will be a goodness to get this character Aro from TwiHard behind him, he was a logical choice from the Underworld franchise which was decent & more than passable . Twilight's ARO has aba'solutely got to be the most rediculous character i've ever seen though , its so over the top "ham" without even the "camp" that could have redeemed it .
Unfortunately Twilight has completely made me averse to Michael Sheen, though enjoyed his Tony Blair , its curtains for him in my universe which will never completely forget this totally lame & retarded "Aro&q2000uot; character of Stephy Meyers creation .
It just doesnt get any worse than this hammed up caricature , glad he got paid well for it .

The performances of Michael Sheen might not be resounding most people, although these people that do not give Michael Sheen credit are mostly stuck-up film critics. I had no idea who Michael Sheen was when i first watched Underworld but as soon as he spoke he was incredible to watch for me. His dramatic roles such as Tony Blair and Brian Clough (to name a few) are just his trademark of playing real life characters, while his performances were sensational and he should've won more accolades for them. However his performances in Underworld:1 and Rise of the Lycans, as well as Unthinkable showcase (to me) his acting, showing the fiery energy of a southern Welshman and his dark anger. There is no real reason why he will ever exhaust audiences as he is one of the most talented theatre and film actors of all time (in my opinion). Furthermore if someone in the future regards Sheen as a 'exhaustingly bad actor' then there is something seriously wrong only with them on there receiving end. He will continue to amaze me and most of the other audiences that know what good entertaining acting is, as he is arguably one of the very few reasons to watch The Twilight Saga, among other things in my opinion.
