I think it takes a certain type of actor to not BE a Megastar, but to PLAY a Megastar, and I think Stephen Dorff is kind of perfect at this mimicry. Also relevant: Cole Hauser as movie superstar BO LARAMIE in PAPARAZZI, an insane action movie directed by Mel Gibson...'s hairdresser.

that's a fair point, Dorff sells being uncomfortable with his level of fame in a way that George Clooney just can't bring himself to do in Jay Kelly. Conversely, Clooney is convincing as a megastar (because he is one) but can't sell being truly sad about his absentee parenting.
