You said it perfectly, it's his reputation as a good actor, not the good acting itself. Stars get payed a ludicrous amount of money, you can easily find a decent actor for less and have plenty to spare to train them up.

The face is everything, they plaster it all over the advertising and it works. People will talk about the new movie: "oh and it has actor C in it" "in that case I'll take a look"
