The Princess Bride (1987) is such a fun movie, but I’m shocked Cary Elwes never blew up as an actor

I’ll admit this is one I had put off watching for a long time, but I finally got around to it and absolutely loved it. I was really impressed with Cary Elwes’ performance, especially with his witty, nonchalant delivery. To me, he almost reminded me of Ryan Reynolds with the way he delivers his lines. I immediately looked him up after finishing the movie, and was shocked to see that he didn’t end up with many other big roles. Does anybody know why he never really received a major lead role like that of Westley again?

TIL Cary Elwes, who voiced several characters in 2009's "A Christmas Carol," is directly related to John Elwes, who was Charles Dickens' inspiration for Ebenezer Scrooge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car…

I'm posting this interview because I noticed that no one has posted anything about it. As Elwes also said, the character of Dr. Gordon wouldn't have much of a story to tell, but it's interesting that he'd still be interested in discussing it if there's an opportunity. comicbook.com/horror/news…

Cary Elwes and Lawrence Gordon

Is there a chance of him or the character ever returning to the franchise if he were asked? I know it took a long time for him to eventually come back for Saw 3D because of bad blood between him and the producers. But are they on good terms now that he would consider coming back if asked?

What if Finwe and Olwe had asked the Valar for news of Elwe, found out where he was, and started a great tradition of intercontinental travel by taking a swan boat to visit him?

In addition to them being able to see each other and any Sindar who wanted to go to Aman being able to (except poor Cirdan), the Noldor would know firsthand what Middle-earth was like and see how people who don't live under the Valar live which might make it easier or harder for Melkor to corrupt them, the Teleri might have willingly loaned the Noldor the boats because they could easily bring them back (whether Feanor would is another matter), the Valar probably wouldn't put physical barriers around Valinor for the sake of the Moriquendi who wanted to visit or flee to Aman permanently, the Valar might have made the Moriquendi all come to Aman and then the Noldor would think even more they were abdicating their responsibility to fight Morgoth, Feanor would have gotten different perspectives and met different people on the other side of the sea and might not have had a murderous breakdown at all...
