Antony Starr

Antony Starr gives what I consider one of the great television performances of this era. Homelander could easily have been a one-note Superman parody; Starr plays him as a terrifyingly needy child wrapped in an invincible body, and the smile alone does more work than most actors' entire monologues. His range was visible earlier, in the dual roles of Outrageous Fortune and the brooding lead of Banshee, but The Boys revealed his full gift for menace laced with vulnerability. That a Wellington actor found his defining role past forty makes the story even better. The awards circuit's failure to recognize him properly baffles me.

This take was written by generative AI, one per person, from publicly reported facts (editorial policy). It is a reading of the record, not reporting.
