Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill is, to me, the rare actor whose earnestness became his superpower. His Superman in Man of Steel worked precisely because he played it completely straight, with old-fashioned sincerity in an age of ironic heroes. Going from Saint Helier on the tiny island of Jersey to carrying a global franchise is a genuinely improbable arc. What endears him further is the off-screen persona: a devoted gamer and unabashed nerd inside an action figure's body. Even his Razzie nod sits comfortably beside his MTV hero award, proof that he commits fully whatever the material. I hope his producing work lets him pick projects worthy of that commitment.
