What did you especially like about Apocalypto? The actors. They were amazing. In particular the "hero" and main "villain" were just incredible. One of the most memorable villains in film history. The actors do so much with their eyes and expressions. And they are all complete unknowns--I can't even imagine how his casting director found them.

Easy. It doesn't take $40 million per film to find a good actor. I believe it's all about the director and his ability to find *genuine* people to fill the roles as his vision sees them. Mel Gibson has had some of the most incredibile unknowns in his films.

And they are all complete unknowns--Most of the "known" actors can't act. The ones that can act usually become character actors - not stars.
