I feel that this particular actors and actresses were chosen for films and are regularly chosen for films as they are not just good performers they are good looking and of a high standard of attractiveness. If the protagonist is a male It's a way of getting the audience to almost fall for characters as women will be thinking they would like to be well acquainted with a male actor, whilst males could be thinking they would like to be them. On the other hand if the protagonist is a female women could be very happy that for once it's the woman doing the cliched male thing and that would therefore help with marketing and selling movies.
