Alex Sharp

Alex Sharp fascinates me because he reached the summit through the hardest door. A Westminster-born actor, he made his Broadway debut originating Christopher Boone in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and walked off with the Tony for Best Actor in a Play. That is almost unheard of for a first outing, and to me it signals a rare command of live performance, the ability to bend a room's air in real time. His later turn in 3 Body Problem shows that stage-forged discipline bleeding into screen work. I deeply respect actors who earn it the slow, demanding way.
