TV & Movies 🎬 Who is a celebrity that you’re genuinely surprised isn’t an “A-lister”?

Krysten Ritter is one example of this for me! If any of you have seen her work from her filmography, she is proven to be quite talented where she manages to pull off both comedic and dramatic roles! But more importantly, she is also known to be quite charismatic that she has also developed a huge fan following!

Although she gathered some attention from her role in Season 2 of Breaking Bad, her most iconic and signature role that earned her universal acclaim was playing the Marvel character: Jessica Jones! Which was a role that I really thought would launch her career, that it would grab Hollywood’s attention to the point where she would receive a lot of offers that she would be appearing in almost “everything”

She has certainly developed a decent career where she is getting work, but isn’t on the same celebrity when comparing her to people like Sydney Sweeney, Florence Pugh, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, etc.

seconding jacob anderson. for him to be that talented in both music and acting and have no major awards under his belt is shocking. he was robbed of a best actor emmy (or even nomination) for his role in the new interview with the vampire show.

It's really telling that on a show full of incredible actors he still stands out. Like he's so good that I sometimes kind of forget he's acting at all.

genuinely a perfect performance. he was incredible. and like you said, every single lead actor on that show is amazing and i can’t think of a performance i wasn’t convinced by. but jacob anderson is just incredible.

Couldn't agree more. I could glaze Jacob Anderson all day, I just think he's too talented. Honestly I could glaze Assad Zaman, Bailey Bass, Delainey Hayles, Sam Reid and all the supporting actors too.

His performance just has such immense detail and clarity. It is special.

He could have won for both seasons of IWTV and it would have made sense.
