I mean, if you didn't get my point though, complainging that he's the awkward teen is like complaining that some fat guy is always playing the fat guy sidekick. Or that Seth Rogan is playing some stoner, or that some fat woman is always playing the friend.
That's basically all the parts these actors can play, because it's the only archtype they fit. Well even then they've pretty much gotten rid of fat woman with woman who thinks she's fat.
It's got nothing to do with the times either, really... all eras were like that. The only actors and actresses that usually get to show a full range of their abilties are the really attractive ones.
