Gwendoline Christie

Gwendoline Christie earned my admiration by transforming what casting directors once treated as a limitation into her signature. As Brienne of Tarth she gave Game of Thrones its moral spine — a performance of such aching sincerity that the knighting scene still ranks among the show's finest moments for me. Then she did something even harder as Captain Phasma: projecting menace and authority without ever showing her face. Coming up through modeling and serious stage work in Britain, she built a career on presence, intelligence, and the nerve to be unmistakably herself. To me she is the best argument that distinctive beats conventional every time an actor steps on screen.
