Benedict Wong

Wong is a great example of an actor who paid his dues long before the world caught on. Most people now know him as the deadpan, increasingly heroic Wong in the Marvel films, but I'd point you back to Dirty Pretty Things and Moon to see the quieter craft underneath. Born in Eccles and trained on the British stage, he brings a grounded, lived-in quality that makes even a sorcerer feel like a real person you'd want on your side. I love that his big-franchise fame arrived on top of genuine range rather than instead of it. He's a steady, underrated pleasure.
