Danielle Deadwyler

Danielle Deadwyler is, to my mind, one of the most quietly formidable actors working today. Her Mamie Till in Till was a masterclass in restrained grief, the kind of performance that should have ended every awards conversation, and the fact that it did not still frustrates me. With a Columbia education behind her and breakout turns in The Harder They Fall and The Piano Lesson, she keeps proving her range across registers. BAFTA and two SAG nominations confirm what discerning viewers already know. I genuinely believe the next decade belongs to her, and the industry is overdue in catching up.
