Perfectly put. He did have an incredible face but never the personality to carry a film. Quite unusual for a Superstar. As you say, he looks good on camera. In another age he'd have probably made his fortune as a catwalk model but he really doesn't work in film. Saying that, he was probably ideal for Warhol's Screen Tests, although I've never seen any that he might've done. It's disappointing really, that of all the Superstars, it was the least interesting and talented one who probably had the biggest career post their connection with Warhol.
EDIT: Besides Mary Woronov, who I absolutely love.
