Shortage of Macho Americans?

More and more foreigners are being cast, it seems, in the role of what used to be seen as American heroes. One Hollywood producer is quoted as saying U.S. action stars have a " more boyish appeal."



          Only In America?

Seems Superman is now a Brit
'Cause Hollywood's got none to fit
The role of hero with he-man brawn.
One wonders where our men have gone.

Foreign actors are those who hustle
To take the roles that call for muscle.
Though our U.S. actors may have poise,
They all look more like little boys.
