As talk of another Oscar grows for her performance in this year’s Causeway, we rate the versatile actor’s finest work
Eighteen-year-old Jennifer Lawrence had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it role in this low-budget indie about young people drifting around Los Angeles, trying to make it. The film features minor players Willa Holland, Vinessa Shaw, Fiona Dourif and Erik Smith, who plays a singer-songwriter and covers Ricky Nelson’s hit Garden Party – the one about how you can’t please everyone so you’ve got to please yourself. Lawrence features in a single scene with other young women listlessly bitching in a coffee shop: she pads her background part by trying and apparently failing to light a cigarette.

Sometimes in life, you meet someone that makes such a fantastic first impression on you that you know you'll be into any project they bring to the table. And when that person has the talent to back it up and is just generally a great human being, it inspires you all the more. Actor-creator Brendan Bradley is one of those people for me. Having first met Bradley shortly after his relocation from New York to Los Angeles on the set of the short film September 12th, we were reunited on the set of The Legend of Neil, where he played the male fairy alongside Felicia Day (fairy vomit never looked so good!).
