Imogen Poots

Imogen Poots is the actress I keep recommending to people who think they do not know her; they always do, they just have not connected the dots. From her teenage breakout in 28 Weeks Later to studio fare like Need for Speed, she has had every chance to chase blockbusters, yet her filmography keeps bending toward risky independent work, the instinct that won her a British Independent Film Award in 2013 and a best actress prize at Sitges in 2019. I admire that stubbornness. She treats fame as a byproduct rather than a goal, and her West London cool hides real ferocity on screen.
