      Madeline Nielsen I think it’s pretty inflammatory to say that it’s his fault that people can’t get a career in acting because of his own doing. He was born in a family with connections, how’s that his fault? If you were in his shoes and had his passion, would you not go for acting and take the chances you can?

    To the people here talking about "nepotism"...does it occur to you that someone who grew up in a theatrical family of writers and actors might, you know, go into acting? That the son of a writer and an actress might be more likely to go into acting than would the child of laborers? That such a young person might show an aptitude for it, because that's the environment in which he grew up? Was Jane Fonda's successful career secondary to nepotism? Jeff Bridges's? Miguel Ferrer's?
    Hedges is good. He's thoughtful and subtle. His father's authorship of What's Eating Gilbert Grape and directing of some films might have helped open some doors for him, but if he hadn't been up to the demands of a film like Manchester by the Sea, he would have been replaced within the first week of shooting.

    It’s honestly freaky how much Hedges role as the older brother of Stevie, Ian, in Mid90’s reminded me of my own older brother and my relationship with him growing up. My brother was always kind of distant and awkward too, and had anger issues similar to Ian’s as well. In spite of all of that though, there was still this weird unspoken bond between us where it was clear he cared about me and wanted what’s best for me regardless of our extreme differences, and I truly think Lucas portrayed that kind of relationship perfectly on screen.

    Oh chill, so what that he hasn't been in many movies and isn't that known yet, it's still a cool interview! I would also love to see Saoirse Ronan or Jennifer Lawrence break down their characters, they played so many interesting roles!
