Adrian Saywell

Adrian Saywell, honestly, doesn’t get the spotlight he deserves—at least not yet. He’s been kicking around the film world for a bit, popping up in some pretty wild projects. First up, “Awake” (2021). If you missed it, think chaos. People everywhere suddenly lose the ability to sleep, like, at all. No naps, no dozing, nada. It just spirals from quirky to nightmarish so fast—families falling apart, scientists freaking out, and the whole world teetering on the edge of total meltdown. The paranoia just oozes off the screen. Not to mention, the cast really puts in the work, and Adrian fits right in with his raw, slightly off-kilter energy. Then there’s “Ready or Not” (2019). This one’s a twisted ride. Wedding night turns into a psychotic game of hide and seek, with Saywell doing his thing among a cast of rich weirdos. Dark humor, buckets of blood, and a totally bonkers plot—he nails that mix of terror and absurdity. You almost root for the guy, even if he’s not front and center. He brings some real unpredictable energy, like you genuinely don’t know what he’ll do next. And, of course, “The Shape of Water” (2017). That film’s basically a love letter to outsiders and dreamers, and Saywell pops up in a smaller role, but he’s memorable. The movie itself is dripping with style and oddball charm, blending monster-movie vibes with real heart. Overall, Adrian Saywell’s not a household name, but he’s one of those actors you notice. He’s got that “wait, where have I seen him before?” thing going on. Give it a couple years, he might just break out big.
