Angus T. Jones

Angus T. Jones fascinates me less as an actor than as a case study in walking away. As the kid on Two and a Half Men he was, for a stretch, one of the highest-paid child performers alive, then he simply stepped off the treadmill and went to study at the University of Colorado Boulder. In an industry that chews up child stars and rarely lets them choose their own exit, that quiet decision strikes me as unusually grounded. Whatever you make of how it unfolded, I respect anyone who trades guaranteed fame for the harder work of figuring out who they actually want to be.
