My Take
Malcolm David Kelley is fascinating to me because he pulled off two distinct careers most people would kill for just one of. I knew him first as young Walt on Lost, a role that lingers because the show built so much mystery around his character. Then he completely reinvented himself as half of the pop duo MKTO, which is a leap I don't see many child actors make successfully. What I appreciate is that he didn't coast on early fame; pivoting from acting into music as a rapper and singer takes real nerve. He feels like someone who refused to be defined by a single role.
Overview
