Luke Grimes

Luke Grimes strikes me as the kind of actor whose value you feel rather than announce. Whether playing a Navy SEAL in American Sniper or the steadier brother in the Fifty Shades films, he tends to anchor scenes from the edges, the supporting presence your eye keeps drifting to. I find that restraint genuinely impressive, since it takes confidence to hold a frame without grabbing for it. That he is also a working musician adds a dimension I like, suggesting an artist driven by curiosity rather than ego. Coming from a Christian high school in Dayton, there is an unpretentious grounding to him that I suspect explains the slow-burn durability of his career.

Luke Timothy Grimes (born January 21, 1984) is an American actor and musician. He is known for his role as Navy SEAL Marc Alan Lee in the film American Sniper. He played Christian Grey's older brother, Elliot, in the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015), and its sequels, Fifty Shades Darker (2017) and Fifty Shades Freed (2018).
