From the article: “For years, Edgerton’s anti-charisma has been the opposite of what we expect from leading men. We shouldn’t be able to take our eyes off them, but he plays characters who might be easy to miss. In his early career, that often resulted in roles that made little impression, but over the years it has become one of his unique strengths. For all his clearly enormous talent, Edgerton has only in the past decade or so gained the gravitas that allows him to truly embrace these haunted characters — not just to play them but to become them.”
