[@PerriwinklePadfoot]

He and Willem Defoe were the only good parts of that Death Note movie. I loved how he played L

[@Charles12]

If only Adam Wingard didn't direct such an awfully changed character than LaKeith would've been a great L.

[@lilyemmalindsay9025]

I've never seen "Death Note."

[@Solutions3000]

I've never heard of Death Note, until now.​@@lilyemmalindsay9025

[@chandral2091]

His acting is deeply textured and he brings alive whatever he works on. His craft so strong he can hide any inconsistency in scripts. I’m so excited to watch him grow and hope his career is as big as he wants it to be because his talent is above and beyond.

[@jadetapia9842]

you perfectly described his craft

[@TabethaAurochs]

LaKeith Stanfield's eyes... Like he's looking straight into your soul, but with compassion! ❤ Brilliant artist,absolutely fascinating.

[@DandyOh]

Very underrated young actor, hope he keeps getting great roles.

[@futuramabender2078]

Have ya notice that when he said that his new movie comes out on January 12th? That's the same date as Jason Statham's newest movie The Beekeeper! I'm like what is this? Barbenheimer 2?! Well I'mma call it Clancekeeper! Whaddya think?

[@futuramabender2078]

Question: Has anyone ever mistaken him for Idris Elba? Cause, I swear ta God I thought I was lookin at Idris Elba! 😂

[@qasimsonson]

​@@futuramabender2078 I wouldn't think so. They don't look much alike to me. Plus Idris is 20 yrs older.

[@futuramabender2078]

@@qasimsonson how bout a young Idris?

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

Not underrated, albeit for the wrong category, but still

[@veselgana]

I watched him in Get Out and Knives Out and was very impressed how with so little dialogue and screen time, he was able to portray such clear defined and memorable characters. Definitely an actor I would watch a movie for.

[@MansaX]

Everytime I see him I think about the sunken place.

[@MrYankeeguy69]

Watch sorry to bother you

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

A very interesting and expressive person. He speaks with a sort of introspection, and avoids cliche.

[@leolegendario1]

This guy is probably my current favorite actor, he always delivers an incredible performance. I'll be keeping an eye on the songs he's going to make.

[@SOOKIE42069]

that scarf does indeed rule Lakeith! You’ve been my favorite actor ever since Get Out. you bring something different to every role and i love it.

[@ben_car_8115]

Such a great actor, his misses are just so rare

[@randomiser2267]

The Girl in the Spider's Web and Haunted Mansion aren’t ones he will look back on as career highlights.

[@Solutions3000]

​@@randomiser2267 Never heard of either of those; now, I'll watch.

[@HannahDoesThings]

He is so fine and likeable it's insane

[@silentsigher]

I love him so much ❤ Him as Darius was my favorite character he ever played

[@trchbrr]

Lakeith is legit always my fav part of any movie he's in

[@captainmercy87]

I saw Book of Clarence in the theater last night. It is an amazing movie and I’m so glad it got made. I hope more people watch it.

[@Daddyoompy]

This year I saw a lot of movies where he appears. Sincerely I didn’t know who he was, but now he is one of my favorite actors by far. Really good actor.

[@MrMoz32]

His vibe is always soooo chill, but introspective, he just flowwsss. STYLISH AF, and great actor overall (IMO very underrated). 💥💥💥💎

[@BlamoStramo]

Absolutely love Stanfield in everything I see him in, and he was the death note movie's saving grace!

[@Charles12]

Same with willem dafoe, but Adam Wingard still got away with discracing death note by being able to do godzilla movies

[@BlamoStramo]

@@Charles12 except he seems hellbent on making them kong movies no reason 😭
