Expressing Emotions

I'm so very behind on the main list - I just ran into this comment:

Not only many boys and teenagers, but many male actors under the age 
of about 50, IMHO!  Annoyance, anger, rage, yeah, they're all there - 
but ask them to do something else . . .  This is, in fact, the one 
reason I like Keanu Reeves despite his occasional extreme woodenness 
- he doesn't really do anger very well at all, and generally doesn't 
take parts that require him to try.  He does do *very* well at 
baffled surprise ("Whoah . . .") and the "Oh, I get it" look - which 
very few actors in his (read: my) generation manage.
