7 roles of Timothy Chalamet, Hollywood's new young star

Homeland

Thriller, politics, drama.
USA, 2011.
Duration: 8 seasons.
IMDb: 8, 4.

In the second season of one of the best geopolitical TV series of the 2010s, a very young Timothy appears in the role of Finn Walden, the spoiled son of the Vice President of the United States.

Until now, this minor character is pretty annoying for many viewers. However, the line of his romantic friendship with the daughter of the main character, who returned from the captivity of the Marine Nicholas Brody (Damien Lewis), not only fills the background, but gives a beneficial emotional color to the whole hermetic show about terrorism.

And 15-year-old Chalamet here for the first time demonstrated his natural dramatic talent, appearing in a psychologically difficult story arc.

Interstellar

Science fiction, drama, adventure.
USA, UK, Canada, Iceland, 2014.
Duration: 169 minutes
IMDb: 8, 6.

When Christopher Nolan's ambitious sci-fi movie was released, few people took Timothy Shalam seriously. Fortunately, the very fact of getting into a picture of such magnitude gave a powerful impetus to the career of an actor.

In the film, Timothy appears only a few times at the very beginning, but already successfully demonstrates the vulnerable soul of a teenager, whose father is about to go into space to save humanity.

One and two

Fantasy, thriller, drama.
USA, 2015.
Duration: 90 minutes
IMDb: 5, 2.

In the wake of the worldwide success of Interstellar, Timothy starred in another fantastic film, already a low-budget one. In the paranormal thriller One and Two, he appears alongside Mad Men star Kiernan Shipka as a brother and sister from an Amish family with the ability to teleport.

In this first full-fledged role, Chalamet perfectly captures the difficult emotional states of her character and creates a convincing image of a special teenager who harbors more than she wants to show.

Adderall Diaries

Thriller, drama, crime.
USA, 2015.
Duration: 87 minutes
IMDb: 5, 2.

Chalamet also had to play the role of a difficult teenager (for the time being his main calling card) in the film adaptation of journalist Stephen Elliot's memoirs. In "The Adderall Diaries" he was entrusted with the image of the protagonist in his youth (in adulthood he is played by the bristly James Franco) - an overgrown and problematic bad guy with a systematic tendency to suicide.

Interestingly, a drama entitled "Handsome Boy" will be released soon, where Chalamet will appear in a similar role of a drug addicted young man.

Miss Stevens

Drama, comedy.
USA, 2016.
Duration: 86 minutes
IMDb: 6, 5.

It was after "Miss Stevens" that the audience drew attention to the incredible emotional impact of the young actor, comparing him to James Dean. In this independent drama, Timothy Chalamet plays an impulsive high school student, Billy, who travels to a drama competition in California, developing a difficult relationship with a teacher (Lily Rabe) along the way.

Critics noted Timothy's ability to keep up with his older colleagues on the stage. And the final monologue from the play "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller, performed by him, became a real revelation for some.

Later, the actor will find recognition in a real theatrical production of "The Prodigal Son" by John Patrick Shanley, where he played a problem child on the verge of graduation from school.

Call me by your name

Drama, melodrama.
Italy, France, Brazil, USA, 2017.
Duration: 132 minutes
IMDb: 8, 2.

The film, which was talked about a year ago during its premiere at Sundance, opened up a talent of a completely different depth in Timothy Chalamet. The role of a refined professor's son, who for the first time falls in love with a student who came to Italy for the summer (Armie Hammer), became the very point when the actor's sincerity and phenomenal emotionality disarmed literally everyone who watched this movie. Including American film academics.

Today, 22-year-old Chalamet may become the youngest Oscar winner in the Best Actor category. But he could continue to walk in the "difficult teenagers".

Lady Bird

Drama, comedy.
USA, 2017.
Duration: 94 minutes
IMDb: 7, 7.

The second Oscar-nominated film for Timothy was the amazing directorial debut of actress Greta Gerwig (Sweet Francis, Roman Adventures). In it, Shalamet shines already in the background and predominantly plays the one-dimensional role of the object of desire of the eccentric heroine Saoirse Ronan.

However, even here he does it with such infectious impudence and dignity that he has already received positive feedback from colleagues in the shop and has established himself as the most promising actor of this year. You will be able to see this for yourself already at the beginning of March.
