My Take
Connor Jessup is one of those Canadian actors who quietly built a varied resume. I first registered him as Ben Mason on Falling Skies, then he showed real range with American Crime, and later anchored Netflix's Locke & Key as Tyler. What I like is that he didn't stay boxed into one genre, moving between sci-fi, prestige anthology drama, and indie features like Closet Monster. The fact that he also writes and directs tells me he's thinking about the whole craft, not just performing. Born in 1994, he still feels like someone with chapters left to write, and that curiosity is what keeps me interested.
