'Surely young Timothée doesn't deserve a retrospective "Posterized" episode ?' you say.
'Ah but the young people are much quicker subjects,' say I who likes the prospect of only having to collect a handful of posters this week.
The 22 year-old star Timothée Chalamet was raised in New York with summers in France (his dad is French hence the accented name and his bilingual-ness). As a professional teen actor his first screen gigs were recurring roles on Season 4 of "Royal Pains" and Season 2 of HBO's then enormously popular "Homeland" series, both in 2012. He hopped over to the movies very shortly thereafter. Though his feature film debut (Men Women and Children) flopped hard it wasn't long before he became the third youngest guy ever nominated for the Best Actor Oscar just last awards season. His new film Beautiful Boy about a father and son's torturous battle with the son's drug addicition hit theaters today in very limited release with expansions to follow soon given the starpower.
Chalamet turns 23 in December. Will The Academy give him a belated birthday gift in February for Beautiful Boy? The one they should have given him earlier this year? We don't (currently) think so but you never know.
His filmography in poster form is after the jump. How many have you seen?
Prologue: Busy Teen Actor (2012-2016)

He's already finished filming two more movies: Woody Allen's A Rainy Day in New York (which has no scheduled release - sigh), and The King from director David Michôd (of Animal Kingdom fame) which is a Shakespearean riff on the three Henry plays. Chalamet plays Henry V with Ben Mendelsohn starring as his daddy Henry IV.
