Photography by Charlie GrayWelcome to Actors Month. We'll try to concentrate on the men for the next 30 days just for a change of pace. (Though obviously Actresses are never far from our hearts so we won't ignore them entirely). So let's kick things off with Tom Hiddleston. I Saw the Light, a biopic of Hank Williams expands into over 700 theaters today. While I can't recommend the film which is DOA without any of its own energy or insight and contains every single rise and addictive fall trope from every music biopic ever produced.
BUT at least Tom gets to sing (every note in fact) and he has a fine voice so hopefully we'll hear it again in a future film?
The internet's ex-boyfriend (he's been replaced by Oscar Isaac we hear) has been famous for just five years now having risen to fame very quickly via Thor (2011) and his rendition of lying Loki.
He has made 14 pictures. How many have you seen?
Next up: The thriller High-Rise isn't technically open yet in the States though a lot of people have seen it elsewhere and at festivals. So there's that and it'll be quickly followed by the well reviewed BBC series The Night Manager which hits BBC America soon. For 2017 he'll be headlining Kong: Skull Island, though he's playing second fiddle to the world's most famous giant ape and he has one last date with that horned helmet as Loki in Thor: Ragnarok.
