Samara Weaving

Samara Weaving earned my respect the old-fashioned way: years of grinding through Australian television before anyone in Hollywood knew her name. That soap-opera apprenticeship on Home and Away taught her something many young stars never learn, which is how to hit emotional beats quickly and credibly under pressure. It shows in her later genre work, where she swings between terror and comedy with absolute control. What intrigues me most is the writer-director ambition lurking behind the acting credits; she clearly wants to understand the whole machine, not just her place in it. I suspect her best and most surprising work is still ahead of her.
