  • Paul Mescal had his breakout role in the miniseries "Normal People" in 2020. And by 2023 he had his first Oscar nomination for his heartbreaking performance in "Aftersun." Mescal’s work is an examination of masculinity and mental health. He’s drawn to complex, and not always good, characters who start conversations about serious problems in our society through deeply personal stories. This video discusses his work, through projects "Normal People," "Aftersun" and "God's Creatures."

    Loved "Normal people" and "Aftersun" and looking forward to "All of us strangers". Hope he will have a very long and beautiful career as actor.

    I had a hard time actually believing Brian ( Mescal) could do something so un Connell like. Not sure that makes sense but when I saw God’s Creatures I was confused by his behavior. Because we never actually see the sexual assault I kept thinking maybe he didn’t do that to her. But, then someone said oh yes he did. I know all characters are different and Mescal is so good and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. I enjoy all of his performances. Bravo

    This is a marvelous piece of work! Thank you so much. I think Andrew Scott was correct when he said that Paul Mescal is the future of theatre and film, and if that’s true, theatre and film are in good hands.
