My Take
Skyler Gisondo is one of those actors who sneaks up on you — you keep noticing him in things and thinking "wait, that guy is really good." He started young, picked up solid TV credits on Psych, and then had this quiet breakout stretch in the late 2010s and early 2020s that felt genuinely earned. Booksmart gave him a wonderfully awkward comedic turn, and then Paul Thomas Anderson cast him in Licorice Pizza, which is basically a director saying "I trust this kid." The Righteous Gemstones is the role that converted me into a proper fan — his whole energy on that show is just perfectly calibrated, sad-funny in a way that's hard to fake. He went to USC while doing all this, which tracks with the sense that he approaches his craft with some actual intention behind it. Still in his late twenties as of 2024, and already has a filmography most actors twice his age would envy.
