Clea DuVall

Clea DuVall is one of those actors who never quite got the blockbuster headline treatment but absolutely delivered every single time she showed up — and I mean that as high praise. I first really noticed her in But I'm a Cheerleader and Girl, Interrupted back in 1999, two wildly different films where she held her own against stacked casts and made it look effortless. Then Argo rolls around in 2012 and there she is again, quietly excellent. What really earns my respect, though, is that she didn't stop at acting — she wrote and directed Happiest Season (2020), a genuinely heartfelt holiday rom-com that filled a gap nobody else was filling for queer audiences. She trained at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, which tracks: there's a real craft to her, a deliberateness that makes you trust whatever she's doing on screen or behind the camera.
