One Cut To Rule Them All...

Making a name for himself with the blockbuster Avatar, as well as cockbusters such as Terminator: Salvation and Clash of the Titans, Sam “One Cut” Worthington has somehow done what only one other person in Hollywood has: become famous with only one hairstyle (yeah, looking at you Jennifer “The Entire 90’s” Aniston). Most actors like to adapt to the roles they play, taking on unique personalities and adopting unique mannerisms, but Worthington’s buzz cut has met head-on (no pun intended) distant planets, a post-apocalyptic future, and ancient Greece without so much as a part.

Granted, in the film Avatar, he played an ex-Marine, and yadda yadda they have short hair- fine, that’s one. Terminator: Salvation can even be stretched to the excuse that short hair might be easier to maintain in a world without ample shampoos and conditioners. But Clash of the Titans was the biggest slap in the follicle; not only letting down Harry Hamlin’s legacy of luscious locks, but all of Greco-Roman culture as well. I mean, he was the only person in that movie with short hair- even the statues had more than him.

And I know what you’re thinking, maybe he’s got a condition, or can’t grow his hair; nay good sir. A Google image search quickly quells these theories (and also returned this gem: http://avatar-action-figures.com/images/James%20Cameron%27s%20Avatar%20RDA%20Jake%20Sully%20Action%20Figure.jpg) leaving the only explanation to be bad taste.

With the expected release of Dracula Year Zero, one can only hope that he overcomes his hair-anxieties, and doesn’t make the Lord of all vampires have a LFO wave. However, if the past is any indicator of the future; I’m not holding my breath.
