My Take
Brenton Thwaites strikes me as Australia's reliable leading-man type with a useful crack in the surface. He came up the unglamorous way, from Cairns through Queensland University of Technology and Home and Away, before crossing into Hollywood with The Giver and Pirates of the Caribbean. What keeps me interested is that his easy good looks don't lock him into blandness; he can play shadow and unease as well as charm. There is grit in that climb from a local high school to franchise films, and I respect it. I'll keep watching to see whether he leans further into the darker, riskier roles he clearly can handle.
