My Take
Dominic Sherwood landed in my radar through Shadowhunters, where his Jace had that brooding-yet-vulnerable energy the genre lives on. What I find interesting is how he's worked the full pipeline of young-adult and genre television, from Vampire Academy to Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and then a sharp pivot into the legal world of Partner Track. That's a career built on being adaptable rather than typecast. There's something quietly determined about an English actor from Tunbridge Wells carving out steady work across American series. I'd like to see him take on a role that fully breaks from the heartthrob mold, because I suspect there's more range there than he's been handed.
