My Take
Aaron Taylor-Johnson interests me because he refuses to be one thing. Most child actors calcify into a single marketable persona; he swung from playing young John Lennon in Nowhere Boy to the gawky vigilante of Kick-Ass, then stunned me as the feral villain of Nocturnal Animals, a Golden Globe-winning turn of genuine menace. He alternates blockbusters like Godzilla with riskier character work, which tells me he values transformation over stardom. I don't think we've seen his ceiling yet. If he keeps choosing roles that frighten him a little, he could become one of the defining British actors of his generation.
