There's a very blunt explanation for why Hollywood is actively ignoring him that he touched on in the article, but I'm sure Rami Malek, Kumail Nanjiani, Riz Ahmed, etc. have all shared his struggles for the same reason.

Interesting read, and a subject that I hope continues to have light shed upon it.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, but honestly I'm not too surprised he didn't become a hit. Sure he looks fine (some say hot), but his acting overall was...okayish at best, nothing outstanding outside maybe the parkour and dancing stuff. His acting clearly still needs some polishing and maturing to really shine.

It's also best to keep in mind that becoming a massive hit is not that common. Lots of the current well-known and respected actors had basically played minor roles and in small stuff for years or even decades before even getting the recognition, let alone getting where they are now. Him getting in such a mainstream movie is not an ordinary thing with young and unknown actors in general and I feel like he expected a bit too much, just because the movie was a big hit financially. Can't blame it though, seeing how he is in general and how he much wanted to get into the main industry.

I'll say he should try to keep improving while playing all the roles he gets, whether they are small or big. If he truly becomes great, he will be noticed and get those major roles in due time. Cherish what he has (seriously, he got quite a following. Many artists in the past weren't even accepted in society back then and only after their deaths their art got recognised) and look towards the future.

That's my 2 cents on this topic.

His vegan Instagram page followed me, and I was all smug about it. But now that I've followed back, I've been unfollowed so I'm salty about it

That defeats their whole purpose if they're not here to spread malicious links and boost hits for webpages through search engines, though Laughing

Double dose of ‘Aladdin’ at 2020 MegaCon

Officials with the event said on Friday that the actors that helped bring “Aladdin” to life in both the live action and the 1992 animated cartoon will attend the convention this April.

Scott Weinger will now join Mena Massoud to sign autographs and meet with fans of the Disney films.

The one time I wish I was in Orlando. Although I could never meet the both of them at once. I'd just be like
