Roman Griffin Davis

reference Roman Griffin Davis kind of exploded onto the scene when he was just eleven, landing the main role in Taika Waititi’s satirical WWII flick, Jojo Rabbit. Not bad for a first gig, right? The kid actually snagged a Golden Globe nomination, which is wild, and even took home the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Young Performer. That’s the kind of thing most actors just dream about, but Roman? He just strolled in and did it. After Jojo Rabbit, he didn’t just disappear into child actor oblivion. Nope. He went toe to toe with some serious heavy-hitters—Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Annabelle Wallis, Lily-Rose Depp (yeah, Johnny’s kid), Sope Dirisu, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Lucy Punch, and Rufus Jones—in Silent Night. That movie’s basically a darkly comic, apocalyptic Christmas ride. If you thought the holidays were stressful, well, try surviving the end of the world with your family and see how you do. Now, Roman’s moving up fast. He just finished work on Greenland: Migration, alongside Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin. Think high-stakes, chaos, and way too many things blowing up. Plus, he’s got The Long Walk on the horizon, directed by Francis Lawrence (the same guy who did The Hunger Games, so you know it’s not exactly going to be a light stroll in the park). Honestly, for someone who’s barely old enough to drive, Roman’s already racked up a filmography some adults would kill for.
