My Take
Jessica Raine is the sort of actor I quietly champion: no manufactured glamour, just craft. From a small Herefordshire village to training at the University of the West of England, she built her name the slow way, breaking through as Nurse Jenny in Call the Midwife and proving her range as Verity Lambert and Catherine Parr. Carrying the lead in The Devil's Hour confirms what I suspected, that she was never meant to stay a supporting player. I value performers who earn the spotlight through ability rather than noise, and Raine wears that earned, deliberate seriousness beautifully.
