10 Best Arrowverse Performances Of 2019
2. Chyler Leigh
Show: Supergirl
Episode: 'Red Dawn'
Chyler Leigh has always been Supergirl's most reliable hidden gem, but there was nothing hidden about her emotional offering in the penultimate episode of Season 4 earlier this year. A scene that many of us had been waiting for, it was the culmination of the season-long mind-wipe storyline in which her character Alex Danvers remembered that her sister was Supergirl just as she was dying - but no amount of anticipation could have prepared us for Leigh's powerhouse performance.
The convincingly naive optimism in the darkest of times, the desperate pleas and those heart-wrenching voice cracks, she pulled out all the stops here and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who didn't bawl their eyes out watching her do it. This wasn't just one of the best Arrowverse performances of 2019, but one of the best across all of film and TV.
Stunning, beautiful and heartbreaking, Leigh is a class act.
