Lack of dramatic range

Please no one spam me over this!
I am not a casting director but I don't think Yousef had great dramatic range and perhaps that is the reason why he is no longer involved in the project.
I loved Daniel in the beginning - he was great when he was the mellow guy hanging out on Bree's bed.
But when it came to showing complex depth and emotion - he fell flat. Observe the video when he broke into Lucy's apartment. His reaction afterwards were not realistic.
Reading that apparent Blog comment - I feel really bad for the actor as a person. He appears hurt - but the Creators are like any other employer - if someone's performance is not up to par - they will let them go - even if they are the most popular guy in the office.
I am not saying Yosef is a bad actor - he may have to work on showing emotion. In some cases he shines. He's enjoyable and not repulsive as are some characters on TV.
If by chance the actor reads these forums I wish him luck in his future endeavours! Don't give up on acting just yet!
