Actress Jessica Biel has so far had a less than stellar acting career, and wisely admits she 'still has lot to do'.
But she complains that her good looks are proving to be 'a problem' when it comes to getting the meatier roles offered to contemporaries Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson.

Jessica is best known for her work in film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, The Illusionist, and more recently the straight to video film Powder Blue.
She says she would welcome more dramatic roles - of the type that has gone to such peers as Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johannson.
In an interview with Allure magazine, she says: 'I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, then don't hire me.
'But if you don't even want to see me – that's hurtful."
And she said she believed her good looks often prove a drawback when it comes to casting.
'It really is a problem,' she says. 'I have to be blunt.'
But unlike other Hollywood starlets who rush to shed their clothes onscreen, Jessica is also keenly aware of her body.

Drama: Jessica has said she would like meatier roles like those given to Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman
For a time, she demanded a no-nudity clause in her contracts – and would also have final word on her body double.
'I tried to get breasts that I thought were most similar to mine. I mean, we're not dealing with a whole lot going on here. I didn't want anyone who was ridiculously big.'
However, the fitness fanatic who is fast gaining a following for her fit figure as well as her acting conceded: 'But a little smaller and perkier in the butt? Okay, I did want that.'
Jessica, who is dating singer Justin Timberlake remains fairly tight-lipped about their relationship.
However, she said marriage is way off the mark for the couple who recently settled into a New York apartment so Jessica can explore working in the theatre.
The self-described 'very ambitious' actress says her feelings for Timberlake are strong. 'You love who you love', she says.
The full interview is in the June issue of Allure.
