Willa Fitzgerald

Willa Fitzgerald is, to me, one of the most quietly compelling actresses of her generation. The Yale pedigree shows — not in showiness, but in how precisely she calibrates each role, from the final-girl lead in Scream to the unsettling cheer coach in Dare Me and the grounded officer in Reacher. She has a gift for characters who seem composed on the surface while something complicated churns underneath. I suspect casting directors are only beginning to grasp her range. Born in Nashville in 1991, she is entering the years when character actresses bloom into leads, and I would bet on a breakout role finding her soon.
