10 Actors Who Had A Massive Resurgence

Taking a similar path in the Hollywood industry, Andrew Garfield has deepened his career over time. Possessing British and American citizenship, he has pushed into theatre, TV and film over the course of nearly twenty years.

Much like Robert Pattinson before him, Garfield became a bit of a teen icon in the early days. While his strong performance in 2010's The Social Network was the first film to put the actor in the spotlight, it was The Amazing Spider-Man duology from Sony Pictures that really upped his popularity.

This reboot of the classic webslinger faced mixed reviews and an insistence from Sony to make a connected set of sequels. Between 2012 and 2014, Garfield's performance as the wall-crawler became far less memorable than his predecessor's (Tobey Maguire). The series came to an abrupt end after the second entry, but the actor would move into far superior productions afterwards.

Garfield took on some fantastic performances in Silence and Hacksaw Ridge. Both were historical epics that brought out his best abilities in 2016. As Father Sebastião Rodrigues and Desmond Doss respectively, he delivered powerhouse performances that massively pushed his emotional range. Having picked up several award nominations, the actor is highly sought after in the movie business.
