        Naw, Keanu really tries to act, studies his roles insanely hard, and works very closely with directors and the different film crews (Keanu has a lot more input than his acting in a film. His notes often make the directors and producers look lazy).
        
        He is just a wooden actor, works great for certain roles (Matrix, A Scanner Darkly) and is the extremely wrong guy for other roles.
        
        He would be perfect playing the straight role in a comedy.
        
        Keanu doesn't just act, he talks with the directors, sits in with just about every part of the film crew, learns and gives input.
