Connor Paolo

Connor Paolo has had the kind of career that quietly proves range beats hype. Most people peg him as Serena's earnest little brother on Gossip Girl, but his turn in Stake Land showed a steelier, more grounded actor capable of carrying a bleak survival story. He started young, holding his own against heavyweights in Mystic River, and never fell into the child-star trap. I appreciate that he gravitated toward gritty independent work instead of milking teen-drama fame. A solid, unflashy performer who I always like seeing pop up in a cast.
