He'll always be known so strongly for Heartstopper, not because he isn't doing greater things, but because he was the face of a character that healed the trauma of millions.

they did Cosmo and Michael dirty with the names

Attitude, quick question... at 0:29... what are the chances you meant to put the other actors names there and not the co-writer and directors? Maybe you didn't, maybe we all recognise Cosmo and Michael anyways!

I'll never forget meeting an 18 year old on the train who was about to be sent off to fight in Afghanistan. He also had such a young baby face. I was only 21 and couldn't believe that someone three years younger than me was going to war. He didn't want to go.

I agree with Cosmo's statement about how this type of bootcamp experience was necessary if the characters had no backstory development in the film. I saw Warfare a couple of days ago and was impressed with their seamless work as an ensemble cast! The bonding was evident and made for more convincing interactions throughout the film. It was tense, immersive, exceptional sound design, with flawless ensemble work. And yeah, we recognize Cosmo and Michael even if you had a brain fart and inserted the wrong names. 😂

Warfare is very much like Blackhawk Down, or even more a close in documentary of a single real life incident, brought to the screen by an incredible ensemble cast. Films like this are so necessary, and such an experience. Not fun at all, but absolutely totally compelling the whole way through, and you’re really glad you watched it. Like Schindler’s List. Blackhawk Down had a lot of nobodies that later went on to be household names. There’s some big names already in this, and I think the rest of the cast are very likely to have solid or big careers. Alex Garland and Mendoza chose a rock solid crew.
