JMV's acting was amateurish

I think Jan-Michael Vincent's biggest contribution was his looks. Kind of doltish, good looking guy, with not much going on besides his dad's money. Perfect camouflage for the ending. It would be interesting to see Jeff Bridges as Steve McKenna as mentioned in the Trivia.
Bridges has good looks and could bring a depth of intelligence and charm to the role.

Agreed, his acting was stiff. His acting probably would have been much stiffer without the expert direction. But then, this movie is not really about the acting. To me it's the look of the film along with the fantastic score.

He made the movie for me. Yeah mostly because he was so pretty. But his acting was no worse than anyone else's. The worst acting was from Louise. She was horrible. &its a shame because the slit wrists scene was one of the most important in the movie.

Totally agree. He just comes across as a hollywood prettyboy without any real acting ability. It's a problem for the movie because Bronson's delivery is rather low-key and needs someone with a more emotive personality to balance with.

Agreed but it's mostly his dialogue delivery that doesn't quite make it. He does have the attitude and certainly the look. His best line: "My father never liked my friends. I'm not sure I do either," which shows his growing distaste for his lifestyle and even what he's inherited.
