Michelle Dockery

Michelle Dockery is one of those actors who makes you sit up straighter just by appearing on screen. As Lady Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey, she owned that role so completely — all icy composure on the surface, barely concealed feeling underneath — that it's easy to forget she trained on the stage and brought genuine theatrical chops to what could have been a costume-drama cliché. The fact that she also sings and plays jazz is the kind of detail that reframes everything: there's a warmth and spontaneity behind that aristocratic cool that only comes out when you really watch her. Picking up a Screen Actors Guild Award for ensemble work in 2013 says a lot too — her castmates clearly felt it. British actress through and through, but with a range that keeps surprising.
