  • As that definition indicates ("..apart from that") you need context in order to understand what otherwise means in a particular utterance. This was a bad movie with bad writing, so he seems wooden. But he is otherwise a good actor or He is not convincing as a romantic lead, but is otherwise a good actor The first means "put him in a decent movie and he comes across well" and the second means "He can act convincingly in most roles, just not as a romantic lead".
