While Callum Turner’s first lead role in an American movie was not a smash success with critics or audiences, it did help prove he was a young actor who could carry a movie. The Only Living Boy in New York stars Turner as Thomas Webb, an aimless college dropout who returns to live with his parents in New York City. When he discovers that his father (Pierce Brosnan) is having an affair with a woman (Kate Beckinsale), he seeks to learn more about her, eventually engaging in an affair with her as well.
The coming-of-age drama provides Turner with an interesting and complex protagonist to show off his talents. He also holds his own on screen with some more established actors, including memorable scenes opposite Oscar winner Jeff Bridges. While the movie itself is a bit messy in its storytelling and doesn’t offer much with its third-act twists, Turner makes for a solid leading man.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald (2018)
As Theseus Scamander
While Callum Turner hasn’t found himself in too many big Hollywood blockbusters, he did join the Fantastic Beasts franchise in a standout role. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald was the second movie in the prequel Harry Potter series that follows the adventures of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as he deals with the magical forces that threaten the order of the world. The second movie expands the mythology with Johnny Depp’s villainous Grindelwald taking a central role, Jude Law debuting as young Dumbledore, and Turner joining the adventure as Newt’s brother Theseus Scamander.
Turner is one of the highlights of the movie as the more confident and heroic of the Scamander brothers. His chemistry with Redmayne and the differences in their personalities make for some memorable moments. While the Fantastic Beasts movies never caught on like the Harry Potter franchise did, this sequel is a fun return to the Wizarding World. Turner reprised his role as Theseus in the third movie, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
