Because she is the daughter of a rock star, that automatically means she can't act? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>There's nothing automatic about it, and I'm not trying to put anyone down, but Tyler just tends to take certain roles. I don't think she was chosen particularly for her acting prowess, although she did a fine job in the movies. I think the casting people wanted some Americans in the movie so that the American viewing public would have a few names to recognize, so they wouldn't be totally thrown for a loop by the cast. Some people prefer familiar actors to quality ones. (Not implying anything!)
