Current favorite actor: Miles Teller

Recently, I have been watching a lot of movies starting American actor Miles Teller and it gave me an idea to stars a new series of blog posts in which I will tell you about celebrities (actors, actresses, singers, models and etc.) which I currently like.

As it happens, the first star that I am going to talk about is Miles Teller. Miles is 27 year old actor who has been acting since 2004 but just recently started to get recognition for his work and consequently – more roles in movies. I have first seen him in Divergent and later in That Awkward Moment and have been blown away by his performance, so, I decided to see more movies starring him. I watched The Spectacular Now and Footloose (2011). The first one is an amazing coming of age drama (Miles won The Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting at the Sundance film festival in 2013 for his role in this movie) and the second – a fun remake of an 80s movie. He also had a minor role in Project X – found footage movie about a crazy party.

I admire Miles ability to be serious in one moment and funny the next. He is not a huge movie star for now but I believe that he has a long and successful career ahead of him. I can’t wait to for Insurgent (the second movie in the Divergent series) where he stars as Peter – main antagonist of the series. However, I believe that his ticket to stardom is Fantastic Four reboot which will come out in 2015 (next summer in particular). Miles is going to play Mr.Fantastic – leader of the pack. There hasn’t been much news about the film but as a die-hard Marvel fan I am really excited about it. I hope Fox doesn’t mess up this series as they did with the X-men (but they kind of fixed it with Days of Future Past so I am starting to have faith in them).

Before these two movies come out I am planning to check out Miles’ performance in comedy 21&Over, Two Night Stand, Get a Job (2015) and drama Whiplash and I invite you to do the same. He will also be in the next Divergent movie – Insurgent comes out in March 2015.

UPDATE: I’ve already watched two
comedies from that small list (21&Over and Two Night Stand). I laughed a lot during them and really enjoyed the performance of both casts. (In the first one, Miles was joined by Skylar Astin, Justin Chon and Jonathan Keltz. In the second, the cast included Analeigh Tipton (ANTM cycle 11) and Jessica Szohr).

UPDATE no. 2: Oh, how wrong I (and everyone) was about that Fantastic Four movie. If you haven’t seen it – DO NOT WATCH IT. It’s terrible.
