Lucas Hedges – Manchester by the Sea (2016)

When a film is full of seasoned actors such as Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, and Kyle Chandler, it can be daunting task to share the screen with them and measure up. But 19 year-old Lucas Hedges did just that, in this critically adored drama. Hedges plays Patrick, who is put in the care of his uncle Lee after his father passes away unexpectedly. Despite the depth and sadness of the plot, Hedges’ take on Patrick brings some much needed humour to the film. The constant banter between Patrick and Casey Affleck’s Lee makes the film witty and inspiring, and Hedges’ ability to shift from an average teenager to a grieving boy makes him one of the most prominent young actors in Hollywood right now.
