The actor: Actress Riley Keough’s earliest acting credit was in the rock biopic The Runaways, where she played ’70s teen rocker Marie Currie. Being that she’s the youngin of the group, she’s protected by the rest of the wives and shielded from the violence around them, hence the moniker “the fragile.” The character: So, Immortan Joe has a harem of five wives or “breeders,” and Cheedo is the youngest.

He’s worked mostly in Australian film, but he might be recognizable to sci-fi fans from his appearances on the cult TV show Farscape.Ĭourtney Eaton as Cheedo the Fragile Warner Bros./ Getty Images If he looks familiar, that’s because appeared in the original Mad Max as Toecutter. The actor: Australian actor Hugh Keays-Byrne has been acting since the 1960s. The character: The main bad dude and leader of the War Boys, Immortan Joe wears a creepy mask with bolted on horse teeth and is the father of Rictus Erectus. Hugh Keays-Byrne as King Immortan Joe Warner Bros./ Getty Images Here’s a who’s-who guide to where you’ve seen the cast of Mad Max: Fury Road before… (Something that way too many summer movies fail to even come close to achieving.) While you probably already know that Tom Hardy plays “Mad” Max Rockatansky and Charlize Theron plays ass-kicking Imperator Furiosa, what about the rest of the cast who’s driving around the desert wasteland like demolition derby psychopaths? Tom Hardy Biography.Mad Max: Fury Road has been building buzz for months now, and, judging from the reviews, it looks like all that hype might be worth it. San Diego, CA: Bridgepoint Education, Inc. The more flexible an actor is, the more work they can be considered for. Flexibility is key in any work environment, and acting is no different. This just proves that this category of “wild card” is the ideal classification that any reasonable actor, or director should want to be, or work with. I believe that Charlize Theron will always be placed in the “wild card” category because I do not see how such a flexible actress would go backwards from being, in a sense, a multi-purpose, or all-purpose actress. It is the flexibility of her acting abilities that makes her fall into the wild card type because she is “difficult to classify as one type” ( 1). I like the intelligent, strong, and (pardon my words) bad-ass female role that she played in Mad Max: Fury Road, from 2015. As a wild card actress, she has been the bad girl, the good girl, and even the dark-sided woman of mystery. However, she has also acted in films such as Mighty Joe Young in 1998, The Devil’s Advocate in 1997, The Legend of Bagger Vance in 2000, and The Italian Job and Monster, both in 2003 ( 2). Her character is a rebellious and head-strong woman that defies all obstacles to accomplish her goal of returning to her childhood home. This does tell me that he is a personality actor because his “strong personality” makes him a perfect fit for unnatural, and “creature-type” roles because he is able to dig deeper into his own animalistic, and crazy side to become “Beast” or “Nux” ( 1).Ĭharlize Theron plays the part of “Imperator Furiosa” in this film. Science fiction is the genre that comes to mind when I think of his acting abilities. It seems that there is a pattern of casting him in unnatural roles, or stylized roles. He is also known for playing the main character who happens to be a zombie in the 2013 Warm Bodies film ( 3). He played the role of “Beast” in the 2014 X-Men: Days of Future Past film. Nicholas Hoult played a villain’s minion turned good guy in Mad Max: Fury Road. He played the role of a gay hoodlum in the 2008 film RocknRolla ( 4).

He played the villain known as “Bane” in the 2012 The Dark Knight Rises, and also played “Shinzon”, the villain in Star Trek: Nemesis. I have to classify Tom Hardy as a character actor because he shows that he is “able to fit invisibly into a wide variety of disparate characters, adapting to the needs of each script and director” that he gets to work with ( 1). Tom Hardy has played many different character types, but there seems to be a consistency to his abilities. The actors that I will be analyzing are Tom Hardy (Mad Max), Nicholas Hoult (Nux), and Charlize Theron (Imperator Furiosa).

For the purposes off this blog, I will be using the film Mad Max: Fury Road.
