How does Keanu Reeves still get acting roles?

Keanu Reeves is arguably the worst actor in the world. What could he possibly be doing that people keep giving him roles in movies. He is like Ben Affleck but irrelevant to tabloids, not a director, and sans an Oscar. In "Hardball", a fairly deep movie, even performance as a drunk gambler is laughable. He gets a pass because of movies like "The Matrix" and "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". "Bill and Ted" is made for teenagers, which Reeves is not anymore, and any role that doesn't involve Reeves smoking marijuana is just downright unrealistic. "The Matrix", let's be honest, does not need good acting. It is about the effects, period. "Much Ado about Nothing" is a nice film, but Reeves cannot be taken seriously. Maybe he is suffering from a "Bill and Ted's" bias, but his actual acting performances do not help to deter the criticism.
