Louise Brealey

For me Louise Brealey is proof that a so-called supporting role can quietly steal a show. Her Molly Hooper in Sherlock could have been a forgettable lab presence, but she gave it such tender, awkward humanity that fans latched onto her completely. What I respect even more is that she isn't just an actress. She writes and works as a journalist too, which probably explains the intelligence she brings to her parts. With a Cambridge background and credits across Back, Clique and A Discovery of Witches, she's the kind of versatile, underrated performer I always end up rooting for.
