TIFF: Top 10 New Faces & Voices: #6. Toby Regbo

One of the bright spots in Jaco Van Dormael’s mess of a movie, playing the teenage version of the film’s protagonist role played by Jared Leto, newbie Toby Regbo might easily be Mr.Nobody’s most alive characters. Playing Nemo at age 16, the actor is mostly paired with Juno Temple – their unique love story is the film’s heart pumping portions and plays a lot better than the artery clogging other brushes of romance. Regbo was also at TIFF for Glorious 39 and will next be seen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Uno.
