Talented new (and not so new) actors not really well known
by KarlSwan | created - 24 Dec 2011 | updated - 28 Aug 2017 | PublicBut at least not all of them are well known and they deserve better roles in better movies (and not playing the same stereotypes of always, they're really awesome in their performances).

Deep characters even in very small roles. He deserve to be in better movies that make possible to him to put all of his layers of emotions.

Despite the facts of all his tattoos and the italian/latin stereotype did you know he is fan of Burt Lancaster, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson? His register of emotions is very wide and I think he deserve to be in better roles.

Besides I think he's a very good actor, I think he looks alike this kid in The warriors: Rembrandt played by Marcelino Sanchez.

If you see his acting at Animal Kingdom you'll know he's talented, at first the movie seems to be calm but with something boiling underground, this movie is not just great for the script (of course for that too) but for the cast selection and the performance of James.

How's that an actor like him didn't got the attention he deserved? I would have preferred him in films that an awful lot of uptight and unrreal actors of their era.
