Josh O'Connor is one of the most impressive young actors working today. We first fell in love with his work in The Durrells and God's Own Country, two projects that demonstrated his comedic and dramatic chops respectively. Since then, he has been the highlight of almost every project he's featured in, including Hope Gap and Emma.
We first profiled O'Connor in 2017 as part of our ebook on God's Own Country. You can read that profile, as well as another interview with O'Connor, a review of the film, two interviews with director Francis Lee, and an interview with cinematographer Joshua James Richards in our ebook on God's Own Country.
