My Take
Jacob Anderson is one of those rare performers who commits fully to two careers at once. As Grey Worm in Game of Thrones he made stillness magnetic, and as Louis in Interview with the Vampire he plays fragility and menace in the same breath. Meanwhile, under the name Raleigh Ritchie, he writes and releases his own music, and it's no side hobby. I respect that refusal to be boxed in. Born in London in 1990, he still feels like an artist mid-ascent, and the discipline underneath the versatility is what convinces me he'll keep getting better.
Overview
