My Take
Alfie Allen took the least sympathetic arc in Game of Thrones and turned it into the show's most complete redemption story. Theon Greyjoy's journey from betrayal through humiliation to sacrifice demanded that audiences hate him, pity him, and finally mourn him, and Allen earned every step, capped by a 2019 Emmy nomination. I also appreciate how he uses smaller film roles, in John Wick and Jojo Rabbit, to leave a precise mark without grabbing the spotlight. He strikes me as a character actor's character actor: unflashy, dependable, and braver in his choices than many leading men. That is the kind of career I trust.
