My Take
Ben Schnetzer is one of those actors I keep mentally filing under 'should be bigger.' His turn in Pride drew two British Independent Film Award nominations, and that movie still moves me whenever it comes up. Add The Book Thief and The Riot Club and you've got a New Yorker who quietly stacked up serious, character-driven work in his twenties without chasing the obvious blockbuster lane. I like that restraint. He feels like an actor more interested in the right roles than the loudest ones, and I'd happily watch him in just about anything. Someone whose best stretch may still be ahead.
