There are few actors working right now as exciting to watch as Lakeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya – and this is not exactly a new phenomenon. Their careers have been linked because of their stellar turns in Jordan Peele’s Get Out, but Stanfield has blown us away for years beyond that with performances in films like Destin Daniel Cretton’s Short Term 12, Boots Riley’s Sorry To Bother You, and the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems (not to mention his brilliant work on the series Atlanta), and Kaluuya has done likewise with Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario, Steve McQueen’s Widows, Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther and Melina Matsoukas’ Queen & Slim. Every time they are on screen they are delivering something passionate, complex, and engrossing, and their project choices have been highlighting their great talents.
