An actor that lives in back of my mind: Dane Deehan
GOODNESS did he take a spot in my messy brain so fast! He normally takes on characters who are morally grey, problematic, and/or troubled. I recognized him in Oppenheimer, and I have to say, he's definitely mastered his roles as the architype that his characters usually embody. My favorite movies that he acted in? Probably The Amazing Spiderman 2, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets... its been a while since I've watched them but he's just- idk whatever
I cannot stress how good he is in the romantic/emotional scenes in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets! He's a womanizer military general who falls in love with a girl who tries to brush off his attempts to sweep her off of her feet. It's SUCH an underrated movie! Especially when she explains to him what love is, and he confesses that he loves her and trusts her- ahhhhhh! I could rewatch it a thousand times and feel the same fuzzy feeling. AND the BEACH SCENE!!! Them pinning each other down, catching each other off guard, AMAZING! At first I was a bit iffy about Cara Delevingne as Valerian's love interest, but she's really good at acting as the smart, stoic, badass girl.
Anyway, Dane's just a really good actor, albeit underrated. I feel like he just gets bad lines, but his emotional performances are breathtaking.
Like the scene in The Amazing Spiderman 2, where he (Harry Osborn) pleads at Electro to help him get rid of Spiderman as he gets dragged away, he essentially repeats the same line: "I need you", but his line delivery really takes the cake for me. I could feel the emotion, and how he was so desperate to live. (He suffers from a curse or disease or something that his father died of). I- idk I was so enraptured by his performance idk how to explain it.
I also heard he did a movie with Daniel Radcliffe, but I personally haven't watched it yet lol, maybe soon.
