Movies with Lucas Hedges

Lucas Hedges has quietly built an impressive resume as one of the most versatile young actors working today. Despite his relative youth, Hedges has showcased a remarkable range, seamlessly inhabiting roles that span emotional dramas, quirky coming-of-age stories, and dark character studies. What makes Hedges stand out is his ability to imbue even the most troubled or damaged characters with a palpable humanity. Whether playing a sardonic, grieving teenager in the Oscar-winning Manchester by the Sea or an aggressive, troubled youth in the off-Broadway production of Yen, Hedges brings a nuanced, empathetic touch to complex, flawed protagonists. His breakthrough performance in Manchester by the Sea earned him an Academy Award nomination, a testament to his emotive, lived-in portrayals. In subsequent roles, Hedges has continued to demonstrate his chameleonic talents, delivering standout supporting turns in acclaimed films like Lady Bird and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. And in starring vehicles like Honey Boy and Waves, he has proven himself more than capable of carrying a film, using his subtle, naturalistic style to anchor emotionally raw, character-driven dramas. With an exciting slate of upcoming projects, including the sly comedy Sorry, Baby, Hedges is poised to solidify his status as one of the most compelling young actors of his generation.
