Dominic Sessa

Dominic Sessa is the young actor I am watching most closely right now. Almost no one debuts in a leading role for an Alexander Payne film and walks away with a Critics' Choice award and a BAFTA nomination, yet that is exactly what happened with The Holdovers. Plucked from a school stage, his rise reads like a fairy tale, but the performance itself convinces me it was no fluke. I suspect we are watching the early chapter of a long and serious career.
