"He also is not taking off as a movie star in the way Cynthia is right now."
You need to slow your roll, KingSpeed. She's not taking off as a movie star just yet. She's getting good parts with good directors, no question. And in many of these films, she has a reasonably high placement in the cast list. But that's not the same thing as a movie star. "Harriet" might get her there, but "Harriet" has only been announced. There aren't any other actors attached yet, and it isn't in pre-production. Let's hope it gets there.
If we're going to compare Cynthia's career to a Tony winning actor, the best comparison is probably Leslie Odom Jr., who is also in "Needle in a Timestack", and has also been getting good roles in movies and TV. He isn't yet a movie star, and he may not get there, but he's working.
As for Lin, he's the most prominent face in the new Mary Poppins teaser, which we've been hearing about for months, and which is being positioned as a major Christmas film. At the moment, he's the most visible of all of these people, though that may not mean anything a few years from now. |
