[Blind Gossip] This very average-looking actor has gone from TV star to movie star in the past few years.
That sudden trajectory probably has a lot to do with his key role in a major franchise.
He recently did a quick gig on a TV series. The crew was given specific instructions about how to treat him.
No one was allowed to look at him. We were ordered to turn our heads every time he walked by so we wouldn’t accidentally catch his eye. It’s a very small and collaborative environment, so it was an odd request.
We don’t know if Mr. Average Looking has developed a big ego or if he is just super-sensitive, but we do know that he did not make these kinds of demands on the set of his former TV show so we were surprised to hear about this.
Wonder what’s changed?

Chris Pratt – sounds like his ego soared when he landed Guardians of the Galaxy.

Chris Pratt…seems to be quite full of himself!

Martin Freeman.
Because he’s big and famous now? Spent years as the sidekick or everyman, moved on to superstardom with the Hobbit, now in the Marvel Universe, did Fargo and Cargo for TV.

No idea.

Chris Noth from Sex and the City
itsxjustxsarah says
My first thought was Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange in the Marvel Movies)
Also maybe Chris Pratt? I wouldn’t say he is average looking, but he comes off as a bit of a jerk to me…

Me too and director from guardians movie being fired.

John Krasinski. I think marrying Emily Blunt (WAY outta his league) and doing the two country living thing has gone to his head.

Chris Pratt
Why? Because he probably always was a jerk, but now he’s got the clout to exercise it. Or thinks he does.

Chris Pratt? I would guess the steroids are turning him into an ass.
TheFabMrsT says
I’m guessing Chris Pratt formerly of Parks and Rec, part of the Marvel series (Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers). Not sure what show he’s doing a guest spot on though.
lvsoxfan says
Oh no.
Chris Pratt.
He seemed very damaged by when his then-wife was more famous than him, and now he’s getting revenge.

Chris Pratt
elphie says
perhaps Chris Pratt…. he has been quite full of himself lately… someone needs to tell him he really isn’t that fabulous
PeachTea says
I can only think of Kit Harrington.
He was a nobody before Game of Thrones. His acting is, to be kind, mediocre. He owes everything to George RR Martin. Appearances on other shows must freak him out because he is without the GoT infrastructure that keeps him looking good.

Chris Pratt. Went from Parks and Rec to Guardians of the Galaxy. He’s average-looking, but once he lost tons of weight his career took off.

Dylan O’Brien
He starred in the Maze Runner franchise and because of that got other movie roles. He was on Teen Wolf before that. Less than a month ago he filmed a guest starring role on a Youtube Red show .
My guess is that he’s become a bit full of himself. I’ve read some comments over the past months and he showed some behaviour here and there that seemed like fame had gotten to his head lately.
calibg21 says
Adam Driver, but I don’t know if I would consider him a star, unless that’s a clue for the Star Wars franchise.

I really hope that I’m wrong because they both seem super nice, but the ones that come to mind are john krasinsky and chris pratt.

Squirrelnutkin says
Chris Pratt
Most average-looking star. I don’t get his appeal.
Maybe he just has a big ego?
thelasthigh says
I wouldn’t be so quick to judge this behavior as arrogance when it could very well be a struggle with social anxiety
fortunecookie12 says
Benedict Cumberbatch on the set of Patrick Melrose. His former TV show was Sherlock.
Maybe he was just going full method and channelling his character on the show? I really hope he hasn’t let fame go to his head.

surfsunsand05 says
I’m really hoping this isn’t right because I love him, but…
Actor: Adam Driver, who recently hosted SNL. The clues seem to fit – he’s not stereotypically handsome, TV star (“Girls”) now movie star thanks to a key role in a franchise (Kylo Ren in “Star Wars”); recently did a quick gig on a TV series with a “small, collaborative environment.”
[Optional] Why do you think he demanded this behavior? I don’t know! It seems very out of character so hopefully I’m wrong.

Chris Pratt is average IMO…was on Parks and Recreation before doing movies.

Adam Driver. I don’t know why he demanded people not look at him, but whatever the excuse, it’s deplorable behavior that needs to change
aaaAT100 says
Bill Skarsgard!
theruraljuror says
I think you’re right.
quizzabella says
Doubt it’s Freeman, he has a very dry sense of humor, which doesn’t always translate to US audiences, but most of the time it’s directed towards himself. He’s been famous in the UK for ages and no-one who has worked with him has a bad word to say about him.
rachhw90 says
Apparently he’s out of character due to his wife having a baby. Not THEM, his wife.
Lafaeete says
Benedict Cumberbatch
Old TV series : Sherlock
New TV gig : Patrick Melrose Mini Series
Big Franchise : MCU
At first i thought Adam Driver, but that dude is anything but average looking, and you can see was friendly and talkative with the cast and crew in the live show on stage. The cast had only good things to say about him, that goes for his 2016 SNL gig too where they were fooling around in the gag reel non stop
ladybugjones says
Obvs ADAM DRIVER
catch23 says
Adam Driver. He recently hosted SNL “small collaborative environment”. Used to be a TV star thanks to Girls. Then transitioned to being Kylo Ren in Star Wars. Chris Pratt isn’t average looking, especially by comparison to Driver who isn’t conventionally attractive. The blind after this one is SNL related which makes it obvious this one is coming from the same source. Can’t be Cumberbatch, he was the lead in Patrick Melrose which ran for 5 episodes (not a quick gig in a TV series).
suzyQ888 says
While I also thought this hinted towards Chris Pratt, I don’t think it’s about him. Full of himself or not, he’s so concerned with his image he would never pull behavior like that as he wants to be perceived as the good guy at all times. Plus, the last TV gig he did was on ‘Mom” when he was still married to Anna which was close to 2 years ago. There’s no way he would’ve ever done that on his wife’s set. I don’t know who Adam Driver is but the comments below suggesting him seem much…
nero90 says
It’s not Adam Driver, all the SNL cast members like him and said only good things about him afterwards. I think it’s Benedict Cumberbatch. He seems like he could have issues. Plus the hair in the photo looks like his.
AwesomeChick says
People who are even thinking its Chris Pratt how could you even? Chris Pratt is the sexiest man ever created so I think from the picture it’s Adam Driver plus the word key role in major franchise is Star Wars
Kate72 says
Cumberbatch doesn’t fit–he was the lead, not a quick part. Plus it was not recently filmed.
It’s meant to be Driver. Collaborative is SNL, TV show is Girls, franchise SW.
meli8778 says
lol Adam is this you?
NoseyNana2008 says
That’s what I said! Who does that anyway? “I’m so important you dare not look at me!” Seriously? You make a living having people look at you!
I really hope this isn’t Chris Pratt, but I’m afraid it is.
NoseyNana2008 says
And he beefed up, like Chris Pratt, for the Benghazi movie!
Marvella says
My guess would be Adam Driver who did a quick voice gig on Bob’s Burgers recently. He is not average looking…he’s below average looking. He doesn’t want people looking at him wondering how the hell that guy got to where he is.
NoseyNana2008 says
So sad. His goofy personality is what made him so cute. Looks-wise, he’s barely average!
phlyfiremama says
Did Jonah Hill ever have a TV show??
kelno19 says
Hi Adam!
AuntieJulia says
There is no way this is Adam Driver: he hosted SNL 2 years ago and if anything had changed in his attitude it would be mentioned in the blind. Also, “average looking”? Haha.
I vote for Chris Pratt, who guest starred in Mom last year and who used to be the boy next door, before he bulked up.
sookiesmom says
Probably wrong but I am thinking Fred Savage? And the reason being the harassment allegations against him?
hotpinkmomma says
Adam Driver is handsome ugly, very distinguished. I say this is Jonah Hill. Very average but now really famous with his new movie he directed.
catch23 says
Actually, Driver hosted SNL 2 weeks ago. He hosted in January of 2016 and then again this season premiere, Sept 29.
catch23 says
doubt it’s Cumberbatch. His most recent tv role was the miniseries Patrick Melrose where he was the lead, not a quick gig. Small, collaborative environment screams SNL to me. It’s gotta be Adam Driver.
Kate72 says
It’s Driver, dunno if it’s true. Collaborative and small is definitely SNL, and it’s only referring to crew and not cast.
As I said above, Melrose wasn’t a quick gig (he was the lead LOL) and it filmed a year ago, not recently.
Don’t think Pratt had a quick TV gig recently either but I could be wrong.
SilverLining says
I’m changing my answer to Adam Driver. He recently did a guest appearance by hosting SNL. For 5 yrs (until 2017) he was a main character in a successful HBO series, Girls. And then he got catapulted to fame by being given the iconic Darth Vader role in the reboot of the Star Wars franchise. If this is him where his associates wonder if he ‘just developed a big ego or if he is just super-sensitive’ then he his portrayal of Darth Vader is similar to his real life persona.
mizzavrid says
Hotpinkmomma has got it right…. Adam Driver is very handsome ugly! Sexy too…
hazelojic says
Taking a guess that it is David Thewlis based on what i perceived to be clues.
Starred in Mr. Nice, Wonder woman, movie franchises Harry Potter and now Avatar (2 & 3 in production).
Small and collaborative TV show is Big Mouth
PeriwinkleSeahorse says
Excellent guess!!
SleuthingForFun says
My thoughts exactly.
spookie says
I don’t think Adam Driver is average looking though? He’s very striking.
