There's a world of difference between acting in a theater and acting in a motion picture. Obviously, in a motion picture, much more can be done to overcome a particular actor's shortcomings.

However, how many people from other professions step into a motion picture/TV show and perform in a passable manner? Now...how many people from other professions step onto the ballfield and perform in a passable manner? It's only rarely, RARELY done.

There may be EXCELLENT actors out there who get the shaft, but that's only because the entire industry is based on looks/charisma/looks. It's probably hard to be a really good actor, but the fact is, the industry doesn't really care, because the buying public doesn't care.
