This guy is shaping up to be a hell of an actor. (and he’s so hot)
Fruitvale Station is my favorite performance of his, and I loved him on The Wire too.
Yeah, I think he does some very solid work as well!
I really love this kid, and I also really enjoyed him in Fruitvale Station…I thought he should have gotten more recognition for that. Great post!
Yeah, he was very good in Fruitvale and I do think he got noticed, although he should be in the spotlight even more….but that will probably happen 🙂
