My Take
Brandon Flynn intrigues me as an actor who chose substance over easy fame. Miami-born and Rutgers-trained, he broke through as Justin Foley in 13 Reasons Why, bringing a raw vulnerability to a deeply troubled character. What I appreciate is the range he's pursued since, moving through Ratched, True Detective, Manhunt, and films like Hellraiser and The Parenting rather than coasting on heartthrob status. He seems genuinely interested in difficult, varied roles, and that instinct usually marks a performer with staying power. I'm curious to see how his career deepens, because the foundation he's building feels like that of a serious, durable actor.
