You won’t believe who just lit up the stage in sunny California! We’re talking about Variety’s 2026 ’10 Actors to Watch’. Big deal. These are the faces you’ll be seeing everywhere this awards season, trust us. They gathered in Newport Beach on October 18, and the vibe was just… electric!
The Newport Beach Film Festival teamed up with Variety for this super special chat. It all went down at the beautiful Balboa Bay Resort. Imagine the California sun, sparkling water, and then these talented folks talking about their craft. It was a cool mix of relaxed yet seriously insightful conversation.
What did they talk about? So much! They dove into how they tap into those really deep, sometimes dark characters. You know, the ones that really stick with you. It takes guts. They also shared how they find their inner confidence. Being an actor? Not always easy. It’s a journey. Speaking of journeys, remember when Sai Pallavi talked about complex characters like Ravana? It reminds you that every role has layers.
This panel was all about performance, how they work, and their whole process. It felt honest. Real. These rising stars shared their hearts. And honestly, we’re already mentally prepping our watch lists for them!
Our Take
We love seeing new talent shine. The way these actors are tackling tough roles and owning their confidence is inspiring. It’s not just about acting; it’s about pushing boundaries and telling powerful stories. It truly feels like a new wave is coming, bringing bold performances and fresh narratives to our screens. It’s an exciting time for movies, and these actors are setting the stage. And just like Sundance is shaking things up by heading to Boulder, these actors are shaking up Hollywood!
