Jimi Stanton

Jimi Stanton’s the kind of actor who just sneaks up on you—one minute you’re watching something, next thing you know, you can’t take your eyes off the guy. So, in Your Honor, he’s got this gritty, all-too-real edge, playing Carlo Baxter—yeah, that’s the son of a crime boss, which means things get messy, quick. The whole show’s basically a pressure cooker. Stanton brings this unpredictable energy, like you’re never quite sure whether he’s about to lose it or just smirk his way out of trouble. And honestly? It works. The tension’s off the charts, and a lot of that’s on his shoulders. Then, he flips over to Greyhound, sharing scenes with Tom Hanks—no big deal, right? Even though it’s a smaller role, he fits right into that world of nerves and chaos, battleships cutting through freezing water, everyone desperate to survive. He’s believable as hell, just another face in the crowd trying to stay alive while the world explodes around him. It’s a different kind of grit, but he nails it. And Fry Day... now, that’s a weird little film. Indie, dark, kind of haunting—Stanton’s part isn’t huge, but he leaves a mark. The movie creeps under your skin, and his performance does too. There’s something about the way he moves through a scene—like he’s got secrets, or maybe he’s just seen too much. You believe him. That’s the trick. Jimi Stanton isn’t flashy, but he’s the real deal. Every time he shows up, you know things are about to get interesting.
