My Take
What fascinates me about Sarah Snook is the range hiding behind that composed exterior. Her Emmy and Golden Globe wins for playing Shiv Roy proved she could carry prestige television, but the achievement I keep coming back to is her Olivier-winning turn in The Picture of Dorian Gray, where she played twenty-six characters essentially alone on stage. That is not mere versatility; that is athletic, almost reckless craftsmanship. Adelaide has produced plenty of talent, but few performers move between screen and stage with this much authority. I suspect her best work is still ahead of her, and I would happily watch her read a phone book, preferably as several different people at once.
