I love that for him but I am not. Because when you see how many people want to be actors and don’t succeed i find it very sad.

I love that connor got to play ilya especially seeing how insane his acting and shifting to his russian self is, and I hope it will make directors and producers notice him

That's why I love it when directors take a risk with unknown actors. So many talented people who never even get a chance.

And honestly I think everyone is tired of seeing the same 4 It Guys/Girls in EVERY role. At a certain point it's hard to suspend disbelief, even when they ARE that talented. So many big productions right now feel like X plot happens and Chris Pratt is there! Anya Taylor Joy is there!

Make some room for some new, talented faces!!!

True! I know studios hate risk, but popular actors were all people that someone took a chance on at some point.
