Cannes 2010’s Top 10 New Faces: Introducing David Call

Date:

#7. David Call

Paired with Brady Corbet in Alistair Banks Griffin’s Two Gates of Sleep, David Call is contained to a mute role but the very physical performance demanded for the part of Louis and one harrowing scene in particular is likely to land the actor further parts. With bit parts in Mary Harron’s The Notorious Bettie Page, Lajos Koltai’s Evening and Daryl Wein’s Breaking Upwards, Call isn’t exactly a newbie in the industry, but with television face time and a meatier part in another U.S indie title: Lena Dunham’s Tiny Furniture, this is his official breakout year.
