My Take
Troian Bellisario interests me precisely because she had every reason to coast and chose not to. Born into a Hollywood family in Los Angeles, she still trained properly at USC and built a real career on her own terms. Spencer Hastings on Pretty Little Liars made her globally recognizable, but what holds my attention is that she writes and directs too, treating acting as one tool among several. There's an intelligence to her on-screen presence that suits cerebral roles, and I suspect her most interesting work will come from behind the camera as much as in front of it.
Overview
