You know that young man who kind of looks like Cillian Murphy and has an irresistible smirk. That’s a new guy on the scene and he will probably get a lot of word-by-mouth attention. His name is Dane DeHaan. If it doesn’t sound familiar, it will…
DeHaan has had recurring roles on successful shows like “True Blood” and “In Treatment,” but he really burst onto the scene and caught a lot of attention in his role as Andrew in the highly-acclaimed and commercially-successful 2012 film Chronicle.
This attention has led to a lot of opportunities for upcoming projects. Most recently, he starred in the 2012 bootlegging drama Lawless alongside established actors like Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, and Guy Pearce.
Next up for the young and promising talent is The Place Beyond the Pines, a crime/drama about a motorcycle stunt driver starring Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, and Rose Byrne.
In the next year, expect to see DeHaan in more big-deal projects with A-list actors such as: Devil’s Knot with Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth. And Kill Your Darlings with the other talented up-and-comer Elizabeth Olsen and Harry Potter himself Daniel Radcliffe.
horrible perception – he looks nothing like Cillian Murphy. If you had an eye maybe you would say Jonathan Jackson or Leonardo DiCaprio
Hmm… while I agree that he does look like Leonardo DiCaprio, I would also like to say that he has nothing of the goodie image that DiCaprio had in his heyday. If you had an eye you’d agree that comparing him to DiCaprio would be inviting him to seem like a early DiCaprio heartthrob, and I’d say that his movie choices thus far have not really been that cutesy. Could you imagine him in Titanic? Cillian Murphy has more of that rough-around-the-edges quality I was talking about. But hey, thanks for your comment, I hope you’ll be able to move on in your life due to my ” poor”judgment.
