Jamie Bell

Jamie Bell could have been a one-film miracle — the boy from Billingham who won a BAFTA as a teenager for Billy Elliot — but instead he became one of Britain's most quietly versatile actors. What strikes me is how his dance training never left him: whether doing motion-capture as Tintin or disappearing into character work, he acts with his whole body in a way few contemporaries do. He has never chased leading-man vanity, choosing craft over celebrity at nearly every turn. That early triumph could have crushed him; he turned it into a foundation. I respect that arc enormously.
