Millenial actors

Brie Larson along with actresses like Alicia Vikander and Katherine Waterston are part of a new troupe that is effectively anti-power. They refuse to take themselves too seriously and aren't in it for the fame, They work hard and show gratitude for the opportunities they're given. “I hope I have to audition for every single job I want,” says Andrew Garfield. The have resilience and depth.  They are eclectic, diverse and quirky. “Essentially, it’s their eclecticism that binds this new set. They move from art-house to blockbuster, leading actor to supporting role, classic to contemporary as if it’s effortless. Unlike previous generations they don’t chose roles to satisfy a studio typecast but go with their instincts and in so doing … showcase the dexterity and confidence for which their generation is known”

She took a big risk a few years ago when she announced she wouldn’t be doing anymore ‘pretty blond’ roles even though they’d worked so well for her in the past (Scott Pilgrim, United States of Tara). Instead she did ‘Short Term 12’ as a plain non-blond. I thought it was a breakout performance in an outstanding film. She continued to play plain non-blonds in films like ‘The Gambler’ and ‘Digging for Fire’. I think her performance in ‘Room’ has the depth and fortitude I saw in ‘Short Term 12’. It won her a Golden Globe. She’s nominated for an Oscar. Whether she wins or not I believe she's one of the finest actors of her generation.
