Dean O'Gorman

I have a soft spot for Dean O'Gorman because he embodies the creative restlessness I admire. Most people would be content having played Fíli in the Hobbit trilogy, but he also nailed Kirk Douglas in Trumbo, which shows real range beneath the fantasy beard. What seals it for me is the second life as a photographer, even running his social presence under that name. Actors who also create from behind the lens tend to bring a sharper eye to performance. He is the kind of quietly versatile New Zealander I find myself rooting for, regardless of how big the next role is.
