#OscarIsaac and #TeyanaTaylor both dive headfirst into gloriously messy, morally twisted roles this year. In Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” Isaac plays a darkly twisted version of the titular doctor who chains and punishes his creature, played by Jacob Elordi. In Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” Taylor, whose dramatic breakthrough came in 2023’s indie drama “A Thousand and One,” ignites chaos as the ambiguously motivated, possibly traitorous Perfidia Beverly Hills. In their #ActorsOnActors discussion, they talk walking into chaos, juggling heartbreak and power, and channeling their inner unhinged characters.
