My Take
Frank Dillane first registered for me as the teenage Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a small role he played with an unsettling charm that hinted at the man Voldemort becomes. He then carried Fear the Walking Dead as Nick Clark, the addict son whose volatility gave the early seasons their pulse. There is a live-wire quality to him, slightly off-kilter and unpredictable, that makes him compelling even when material is thin. The Essex Serpent showed a calmer register too. I would love to see him land a role meaty enough to fully exploit that restless intensity.
