    I remember seeing About a Boy, it was an okay film, but I did definitely think that he was destined for a big career.

    I clicked like on all the comments about his performance in The Great. His Peter is just so funny in the show and despite all the horrible stuff his character does in it, he still gets you to care about Peter.

    I think he's such a fantastic actor. If they ever remade The House of the Seven Gables, I think he'd be a great Holgrave.
