Best actor/actress on the show?


This show is quite interesting, because sometimes I find myself cringing at the acting (early s1, some of the grounder/polis stuff in s3) and other times I find myself in awe of how great the acting can be (Lindsey Morgan in 3x11, for instance).

Favorite characters aside, who do you think are the best actors and best actresses on the show?

For the actresses it's;
1. Lindsey/Raven
2. Adina/Indra (she is very captivating imo!)
3. Erica/ALIE

(Honorable mention to Eliza/Clarke. She can be really great sometimes - but other times, she can give weaker performances)

And for the actors it's;
1. Bob/Bellamy
2. Richard/Murphy
3. Henry Ian Cusick/Kane

(Honorable mention to Jasper/Devon. Jasper might have annoyed a lot of people in s3, but Devon's performance was pretty good nevertheless).

Oh I forgot about Jaha/Isaiah! He's definitely up there. Pike/Michael Beach was great too.

I agree with all of your picks! For the actresses I also think Nadia Hilker did great as Luna so far and Marie Avgeropoulos is amazing as Octavia, especially during Lincoln's death scene.

For the actors, I think Ricky Whittle was great at playing Lincoln. I'm still sad that he died, they could have done so much with his character since he was the only "assimilated" grounder. Michael Beach was great at playing Pike too, and I love Christopher Larkin as Monty! I hope Chris gets a bigger story line next season. I also really like Jarod Joseph as Miller, he's so snarky. (I'm realizing now that I like pretty much everyone lol)

Bob Morley and Lindsey Morgan are definitely the top two performers imo. Lindsey was really strong portraying Raven's struggle with her disability as well as her being taken over by Alie. Bob is perfect all the time, his face just does amazing things :P You can always tell what he's thinking just by his expression, he can play a macho antagonist and an emotional softie just the same.

I think this show has an incredible cast, just amazing. There isn't one I would say he/she can't act. There are very promising young actors and great veteran actors. It's really hard to choose.

Really outstanding for me are Lindsey Morgan and Bob Morley.

Lindsey portrays Raven so well, and especially her performance as possessed by A.L.I.E. was just wow. She perfectly copied her in everything, voice, behavior, posture. I was in aw.

Bob without question had to play and most of all get across the most difficult storyline in all three seasons. And he delivered, brilliantly.

Honorable mention to Erica Cerra, who fantastically portrayed A.L.I.E. as the creepy A.I. she was.

For the actors:

Bob Morley/Bellamy
Henry Ian Cusick/Kane
Isaiah Washington/Jaha
Devon Bostick/Jasper
Mike Beach/Pike

Bob Morley has had stellar performances throughout the season and he definitely had the most difficult storyline to get across (and little time to do so) and he delivered, brilliantly so.

And for the actresses:

Erica Cerra/ALIE/Becca
Lindsey Morgan/Raven
Paige Turco/Abby

Erica did marvelous with ALIE and Becca. Lindsey also did marvelous, even though I personally feel like her character is sort of written into a corner and (because she's one of my fave) I'm not sure where they're going with her but hopefully the writers will come up with something to make Raven a bit more interesting because she's too perfect. There's not much you can do with perfection, people do not grow as they should without imperfections and mistakes.

I thought the whole cast was great and delivered amazing performances. But if I had to pick favorites...I'd say Clarke, Bellamy and Octavia.

reply

No love for Jasper? Also I lived Monroe's character and her death was weak.
