Recognition for Theo James came from being chosen as Tris’ love interest for the divergent series . He played the sexy but strong Dauntless Four instructor who falls in love with Tris and show your fighting skills to take down those who threaten her due to her rare Divergent status. Time Divergent gave James great exposure in acting, talked about how this teen franchise negatively affected his career.
It can feel like a cheat to be involved in a teen movie franchise. While this is a great business opportunity for exposure, it can lead to you being pigeonholed as only the hero, the handsome or the villain. Theo James spoke with vanity salon on how to act in movies Four by Three hasn’t done wonders for his career.
You make a certain type of film and you sign contracts where you owe these roles for a certain amount of time and people see you in a certain light that you have to step out of. This is one hundred percent the case with actors, and it was definitely the case for me. I felt like I didn’t have the fluidity to move in the directions I wanted. You’re in a certain type of role and those roles can be boring.
While the British actor has already said that he is not interested playing sidekicks for female-led franchises , doesn’t mean you want to be stuck doing this for your entire career. I don’t blame him, because he probably doesn’t want casting directors to see it as a gift for women who can throw some punches. Another British actor, Robert Pattinson, could relate, as he felt he was losing the sense of filming himself The The Twilight saga that you don’t have creative control over a character that was first written as a character in a book. But fortunately, Pattinson ended up finding a number of film projects that proved that it was more than Dusk .
Well, James won’t have to worry about that. be more Divergent movie , as a series’ box office flop was originally going to end up as a TV show, only to scrap that idea. Cast members like it Shailene Woodley has left the show as soon as the television plans were announced, and network executives were also not happy with the decision. This means that the divergent series it would end as a cliffhanger and audiences would never get to see the second half of it. Fair come to life Regarding if ever there will be one diverge 4 , producer Neil Burger doubts that will happen, which is likely a relief for the 37-year-old actor.
Fortunately, Theo James didn’t need to the divergent series to help you succeed in your career. He had problems at first, such as in 2019 with the executive production of an acclaimed adaptation of Jane Austen’s unpublished book. watermelon before leaving after the first season. Next, his starring role in the HBO series The Time Traveler’s Wife it was short-lived after not getting a second season.
But after playing so many literary characters over the years the underworld the actor got picked up for HBO’s second season the white lotus as major financier Cameron. Theo James told Vanity Fair how he marveled at finally having the freedom to play bold characters. On the other hand, this role won’t deprive him of his visual status with this short but hot striptease scene in the hotel. While there’s no escaping this flamboyant beauty, at least this role will give her a chance to expand her acting range.
This film and television actor seems to want to break the mold of Hollywood idol status the divergent series he gave him. I hope your role in the white lotus will allow casting directors and audiences to see him in a new light. You can watch Theo James play Four the divergent seriesas well as see him in the second season of the white lotus, with your HBO Max subscription.
