I have been a Fan of Cameron for almost a year now and honestly I can say that his performance as a someone with a bipolar disorder is in shameless was very accurate and spectacular, then there was his performance as Jerome Valeska/pro Joker on Gotham is definitely remarkable,he has been acting since a very young age and appeard in many famous tv shows playing psycho kids(criminal minds,malcom in the middle)he has a few indie horror films and a few supporting roles in bigger ones,and honestly I think he has a great future ahead of him,so what does everybody in here think of him and what performance of his do you like the most ?

I've been paying attention to this guy for basically a year and a half now, since the one-two punch of the "Crazy Love" Shameless episode and his first Gotham appearance as Jerome. Each show aired on back to back days.

If he's careful enough about his film role choices, he'll be giving a "thank you to the Academy" speech before he turns 30. I would bet money on it, and it's a shame he hasn't gotten an Emmy nod for Gotham.

Why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport! We all know it!

I agree. I found out about him when I watched Mercy Street and have since caught up on everything he has done. His TV work is definitely spectacular. He needs a good breakout role in a movie and after that he will be unstoppable.

Sure he is, he is very talented. Shame the Academy is quite sexist/ageist and only women in their early 20s get nominated. But give it a 10 years.

I caught his very brief appearance as Mason in Vampire Academy and then saw him in Gotham and then watched, rented, or bought anything I could find with him in it, because he is so good. I think that he is one of the most talented actors alive today, despite his youth. I even watched the American version of Shameless for him. I thought that his chemistry with "Mickey" and his bipolar-involved scenes were incredible and almost made me forget that I was watching a tv show.
