10 Actors Who Make Everything They're In Better

10. Carrie Coon

Every now and again, an actor appears as if from nowhere and sets themselves up as the next big thing. One of the more recent examples of this is Carrie Coon, who started out in theatre before landing a role in both David Fincher's Gone Girl and the TV series The Leftovers in 2014.

With these flawless debuts, Coon proved herself an actress of unlimited depth and bravery, creating performances that are as tragically human as they are empowering, vulnerable, and altogether transformative.

She continued her TV success with a role in the third season of Fargo, for which she was nominated for an Emmy, and has since appeared in such films as The Post, Widows, and the madly underrated The Nest, giving supporting performances in each that often transcended the work of her co-stars.

Hers may not be the first name you think of when you think of a great actor, but there's little doubt watching her work that Carrie Coon is a rare talent who can improve everything she touches, regardless of genre or medium. She'll be on the Academy's radar soon enough.
