I have loved Murray Bartlett's breakout last few years! His performance (along with Nick Offerman's) in that one beautiful episode of The Last of Us was one of my favorite things on TV in the last few years.

Oh man, this was a tough one. It made me realize how many of my faves were late-2010s (Justina Machado in One Day at a Time, Jared Harris in Chernobyl, Jharrel Jerome in When They See Us, Will Arnett in BoJack Horseman).

I'll add two of my personal favourites:

Jacob Anderson as Louis in Interview With the Vampire. That whole cast is excellent but Anderson has entirely reinvented that character and made him so much more than who he was in the novel.

Claes Bang in Bad Sisters. I didn't know it was possible to make a man so hateable yet palpably real in ways that both irritated and upset me.
