Drew Roy

I instinctively root for Drew Roy the moment I hear his story: a kid born and raised in Clanton, Alabama, packing up for Los Angeles to pursue acting. Best known as Hal in Falling Skies and as Jesse on Hannah Montana, he occupies that clean-cut leading-man lane, but anchoring a sci-fi drama as the brother holding a family together takes more spine than a pretty face suggests. What I appreciate is the groundedness he brings to the screen. He didn't inherit Hollywood, he came to it from Alabama, and that quiet nerve earns my admiration.
