The best current actors and the film/TV show that proved it to me
There are a lot of incredible actors out there, and more emerging every day. And it’s difficult to choose who my favourites are, however there are some actors that to me are just a little bit above everyone else.
Florence Pugh
Florence Pugh is without a doubt an amazing actor, and is actually one of my favourites. She has starred in some of my favourite films, and is set to star in others that I’m unbelievably excited to see.
There are a few reasons why I love Florence Pugh’s acting, but the big one is her ability to portray such deep emotional scenes. Her ability to act out: terror, love, anger, sadness, grief and so much more is masterful and really sets her apart.
There are a lot of films that have showcased Florence Pugh’s abilities, one of my favourites being Midsommar. However the film that really to me displayed how incredible of an actor Pugh is, is the 2022 film; The Wonder.
Florence’s ability to embody her character so beautifully was so enthralling and captivating and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. The way she is able to act out such deep and intricate emotional scenes with so many layers and nuances... I would not be suprised if there was an Oscar with her name on it in the near future.
Tom Holland
I will admit I used to not be a big fan of Tom Holland’s work, I had only seen him in Spiderman and I found myself associating him with the character too much and struggled to separate the two. I was not a fan of the hype surrounding him and because of this I had a real unfair bias for him.
However this has since changed. The reason why? The 2020 film; The Devil all the time. This film was incredible and Tom Holland’s acting was off the charts and it really changed my opinion on him.
Holland has a real talent with accents, and it’s rare (at least for me) to be able to find an actor that can preform with a realistic accent at different volumes and with different tones and pitches.
Sebastian Stan
It’s no secret that I love Sebastian Stan, I’ve followed him and his projects for a while now and it’s rare for me to be disappointed. Sebastian Stan is the sort of actor that I love for so many reasons, but the main one? His ability to act and display emotion silently and without words.
He can express and portray so much emotion and feeling through his eyes and his facial expression that he doesn’t even need to say a word. He is has the ability to do comedy, romance, horror and action, and he does it all well.
The way he so seamlessly slips into his characters and really becomes them is so incredible to me.
The project that shows this the most to me though is the 2012 drama series; Political Animals. His depiction of TJ Hammond was so heartbreaking, and so (no pun intended) addictive.
Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet is another one of those rare talents that is just so much more. I don’t quite know how to describe it, but there is simply something about how he commands the screen, how he captures your attention.
His ability to emotional connect with his co-stars and show that on screen is so beautiful, the chemistry he has with everyone in CMBYN is enthralling and makes the film so much more beautiful.
However it isn’t CMBYN that really showed the extent of Timothée Chalamet’s skill, in my opinion. That goes to the 2018 film; Beautiful Boy. The acting in the film is incredible. Timothée was really able to capture all of the pain and hopelessness of addiction, as well as the hopeful and soulful moments of recovery. When I watched this film, I wasn’t watching Timothée acting out a character, I just saw his character living. There was no disconnect between the two.
Josh Hutcherson
Now, on this one I am admittedly a little bias. I grew up on films starring actors like Josh Hutcherson, one of my favourite films growing up was Bridge to Terabithia. However I don’t think I’m being bias when I say this actor has some serious skill.
The Hunger Games has long been one my favourite film series (and book series), so I obviously had quite the crush on Josh Hutcherson growing up. However his inclusion on this list is not because of that.
It’s because of his portrayal of Peeta Mellark; more specifically in Mockingjay Pt1. The way Hutcherson acted out Peeta’s downward spiral while in the captivity of the Capital was mesmerizing. I remember being genuinely afraid for him when watching the film, even after multiple rewatches. The way he acted out Peeta’s fear, rage and hate after he had been hijacked was so unbelievable incredible I can’t even put it into words.

Movie Day
Today was Watch As Many Movies As Possible Day for me. And I took notes when the mood struck me.
Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1
Tom Cruise and his crazy stunts. What the hell...I don't even jump out of bed and he's jumping out of planes. At 60 years of age.
Hayley Atwell. Oh my.
2. Kramer vs. Kramer
Meryl Streep hated (and hates) Dustin Hoffman. Probably helped with the acting.
Jobeth Williams is in this movie. Naked.
70s, 80s, and 90s NYC is in my heart.
The woman gets this kid after leaving the kid in the first place. I dunno. Doesn't seem fair.
3. White Christmas
Bing Crosby. Legend. Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney. Legends.
4. It's A Wonderful Life
George Bailey - born selfless. The dude doesn't think once about what's in it for him. Except for that time, he told his uncle that one of them was going to prison, but it wouldn't be him.
I saw this when I was very young and thought I had dreamed it until I saw it in my teens on PBS.
Potter was born old.
Jimmy Stewart and James Stewart are the same. That's not what I thought when old Jimmy Stewart appeared on The Tonight Show.
Violet. Oh my.
"You were born older." What George's dad tells him. Resonates.
Mary/Donna Reed. Oh my.
An unsecured button that opens the dance floor to the pool is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I always wanted a "George Lassos the Moon" picture to hang on my wall.
Mary is naked in the bushes, and George's dad has a stroke. Talk about bad timing.
Potter actor is the great-uncle of Drew, the talk show host/actress. Barrymore is a hella legendary name in film.
Bedford Falls was cute, but Pottersville was hoppin'.
Life is hard, and it sucks...
...until it doesn't.
