Must have the best agent in town!


2015 was his year, man! Brooklyn, The Revenant, Ex Machina, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.

After years of supporting roles he started eeking out leads in 2014 and 2015 with In Time and Frank.

I'm sure being Brendan Gleeson's son helps, but that agent... that agent!

Was thinking the same thing. This guy truly hasn't been in a single bad film since his career has taken off.

The last few years I've just seen him pop up in so many things, then suddenly big part after big part. He's either very lucky or got a much better agent.

I was about to create a post about him being the hottest property in the industry these days and yet, I don't think he's that well known to most.

In addition to the movies you listed, he was the male lead in "Out of Time" (2014) and will be in Star Wars: Episode VIII.

Jai Courtney has a better agent. Even if you don't like Domhanll, at least he's been in successful movies. Jai Courtney on the other hand has been is loads of turds and he's still getting big roles.

Or just a very tolerable and good to be around person. I think when actors aren't getting casted for their beauty, then it's for their personality. For some, it's a mixture of both. He also does a really good american accent. And he doesn't seem to be interested in the glitz and glamour of being a celebrity, so I think it gives him more time to focus on his craft and make good connections.

Wildcattin'...Wildcattin'. Pow! I'm gonna go.

I just noticed this- his resume is amazing. He has really good taste, or else a really good agent.

-Who is it?
-It's Grandpa. And it sounds like he's gotten into the horseradish again.
