My Take
Malina Weissman is a performer I find genuinely promising. A New York child actor turned model, she is best known as Violet Baudelaire in Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events, and that role showcased exactly what intrigues me about her, an intelligent, composed gravity rare in young actors. Her earlier turns as the young Kara Zor-El in Supergirl and a youthful April O'Neil hinted at range, but Violet is where she felt like a future lead. Still only in her early twenties, she sits at that interesting crossroads where a child performer either fades or matures into something special. I am betting on the latter.
