Do Quiet Characters Have An Advantage?

The more mysterious an actor is, there’s more curiosity. I’ve seen non-actors play a part in a mediocre movie but come across as a good performance. There’s less probability to come across as fake to the audience, as opposed to a verbose character trying to be convincing (character running for public office), and many more attempts to err. Also, there are a lot of people in real life who are quiet. But in a movie, it’s obviously condensed, so all you hear/see is an actor talking or demonstrating some sort of action, even with inaction sometimes.
