Kelvin Harrison Jr.

This is just a post for posterity’s sake - to say that Kelvin Harrison Jr. is the real deal. He had a magnificent year in acting between Luce and Waves. At only 25 years old, he seems to have mastered the art of perfectly calibrated performances that waver between empathy and Machiavelli - between tragic hero and self-aware player. I think he’s a talent that’s here to stay and will be making a lasting mark. Excited to see his work in the upcoming Trial of the Chicago 7 . Also worth nothing that his first EVER credit was in 12 Years A Slave. He’s also starred in Roots (2016) and The Birth of a Nation (2016). So, he’s really consistently devoting himself to high-caliber films that explore race in America in unflinching and inventive ways which is, again for someone only 25 years old, downright impressive.
