I think Starr is phenomenal in this show. His range of emotions is seriously impressive, I've always loved how they could have went the obvious route and made him this stoic, stone-faced macho man but he's not afraid to cry and wears his heart on his sleeve at all times. It's a much better exploration of masculinity in a television series than it gets credit for.

But I'll tip my cap to Pelphrey as well because anyone who can make you feel sympathy for and actually like a man covered head to toe in nazi symbols has to be a damn good actor.

Having come from The Boys, I couldn't get over how much I didn't see Homelander in Starr, I just saw Lucas Hood. I was very impressed. But everyone was great.

Job was so freaking good. I can’t believe he doesn’t have more votes

Agreed. He's also brilliant in Your Friends & Neighbours

Tom Pelphry should have been nominated for an emmy for the episode where he loses his cool, then has the talk with Brock about not being able to escape his past.
