Why do so many people dislike him?

Nothing against the guy I didn't like him as Riley. For me it was either Angel, Spike or Graham (probably would have been more interesting). I still like it other works.thinkless, lighthearted fun pictures

hahaha, no it isn't. Trust me. I know this is goofy for posting and is going to have about a 20% believability level to most, but I know Marc, and whoever that(Ryan) is, is not her. Her name wouldn't mean anything to you.

I agree. I think he played his role on Buffy amazingly for his character. I think people didn't like himalmost because he loved Buffy so much, but it wasn't reciprocal.
I think most people liked Buffy with the bad guy or the bad guy-turned good guy. The more dangerous type.
I'm re-watching Season 4 & 5 and I love Riley. At first I didn't really like him but now I definitely love him and I know he's going to be leaving in a couple episodes.
The episode where he leaves always makes me sad he left. Every time.
Pain is underrated as a tool of motivation.

I also really liked Riley (yay! I'm not the only one). I'm happy he and Buffy didn't end up together, but I liked their interaction while he was there and I think Marc/Sarah had good chemistry.
Marc Blucas is a hottie, and he seems like a really nice guy

I'm glad he and Buffy didn't end up together also. It was an interesting relationship, but part of what makes Buffy such an inspiring character is how she's always alone in the love section, in the end. Stands alone.
Yeah, I agree on the chemistry bit.
Oh he
really
is gorgeous. I think he seems like a nice guy too, but he played the jackass a couple times, played it convincingly so people take him as thewell, jackass.
Sorry for the lack of vocabulary, long day.

He seriously needs to lose the chin lint though. If you can't grow a beard and you've got a good chin, keep it clean shaven! I'm hoping he's back to the clean cut look now, but I've seen a few photos with the fuzz he's already got a boyish look half assed scruff just makes him look like he hasn't finished puberty yet!

I really disliked Riley (though I think the poor guy was a scapegoat for the general lousiness of Buffy's sb68eason four) and couldn't stand Sheila on Rescue Me, but I love both Blucas and Callie Thorne on Necessary Roughness. It's nice to hear that he's cool in real life, too.
As for the hate, I think some idiots just can't separate the actor from the role.

I like Marc! He is gorgeous and I didn't even hate Riley despite the fact I love Buffy/Angel. I don't know why everyone hated Riley so much, I didn't particularly love the character but I didn't see anything that wrong with him. Whoever Buffy was with after Angel people were going to hate regardless.

I disliked him for a long time (mostly due to Riley - I am a Whedon fan, and I usually think his characters are the best parts of his writing, but Riley was a terrible character) until I saw him in "Prey for Rock and Roll". I've liked him ever since then.
I think hating Riley was such a habit for everyone that it rubbed off on the actor, unfortunately. I haven't seen enough of his stuff to know if he's bad or not, but he does tend to get typecast in the annoyingly rigid white bread roles (I think that's why I liked him as Animal in PfR&R so much) that are destined to get thrown over by the heroine for another, more exciting guy.
