My Take
Tom Glynn-Carney has become one of the more exciting young British actors to watch, and I've been struck by how quickly he made an impression. Born in Salford in 1995, he broke through in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk in 2017, then won a Drama Desk Award for The Ferryman on stage in 2019. But it's his volatile, petulant Aegon II Targaryen in House of the Dragon that really shows his range. What I admire is the theatrical training underneath the screen work; you can feel it in the intensity he brings. He commits fully to unlikable characters, which takes real nerve, and it pays off.
