My Take
Naomi Ackie is the young British performer I'm most curious to follow right now. The BAFTA TV Award she won announced serious talent early, but it's her range since then that convinces me: embodying Whitney Houston in a biopic, stepping into the Star Wars universe, then going strange and dark in Blink Twice and Mickey 17. Born in Walthamstow in 1991, she belongs to a generation of UK actors trained to disappear into roles rather than build a personal brand. I suspect her best work is still ahead of her, and I would happily bet on a major awards run within the decade.
