That's kind of a crass statement; maybe some examples of the type of American cinema you are basing your statement off of would help your point. Other than that, some American film is excellent and yes, some is thick, but I've seen terrible movies and actors from all over the world.

A lot of the shoddy rubbish filled with these sort of stereotypes is actually made in America- but then most of the English language films in the world are. You could just as easily ask why most of the beautiful or handsome characters are American. If you watch enough, you'll start to believe everybody is American.

I suppose it is a lil frustrating when u see an actor in a film, stop and stare when they see...say... an avalanche coming towards them... it really does make u want to slap them and say.. RUN!

For the same reason that all British are stodgy and dry. Stereotypes run amok in today's cinema.

Stereotypes! All Americans aren't stupid and superficial, and all Brits aren't Earl- Grey- tea- drinking lords and ladies.

So that when the story is trite and contrived, the audience can feel smarter than the person on screen

Because that's how the script writers see them. Have you noticed that if they want a really sinister baddy they use English actors.
