Sean Harris

Sean Harris is one of those actors who never quite got his blockbuster leading-man moment, but honestly that almost makes him more compelling — because every time he shows up, he owns the room. His Solomon Lane in the Mission: Impossible films is a masterclass in doing more with less: barely raising his voice, barely moving, and yet you cannot take your eyes off him. Go back to 24 Hour Party People and you see a completely different creature in Ian Curtis — fragile, electric, doomed. The Borgias gave him years to build something genuinely sinister in Micheletto. Harris is a character actor's character actor, the kind British cinema keeps quietly producing, and I genuinely think film nerds who haven't dug into his back catalogue are sleeping on one of the best working actors of his generation.
