My Take
Freddie Stroma is a name Harry Potter fans will recognize instantly as Cormac McLaggen, but I think his career has been more interesting than that early casting suggests. Born in London in 1987, he's drifted between blockbuster, prestige television like UnREAL, and genre fare such as 13 Hours, never settling into a single lane. There's a smart, slightly self-aware quality to his performances that I enjoy; he plays charming and insufferable equally well. I always feel he's an actor still searching for the role that fully unlocks him, and I'm curious to see where his instincts take him next.
