Paul Mescals career has been on a meteoric rise, and hes going to be a huge star. Before Normal People, the actor was a complete unknown, and only four years later, hes already been nominated for an Emmy, a BAFTA, and an Academy Award, and has become a critics darling, as he keeps choosing to do indie films where characters are much more important than action. Not bad for someone who is only 28-years-old.
