Who is an actor that has a reputation for merely being a celebrity, but in fact has real substance as an actor?

Kristen Stewart

The first role that comes to mind when most people think of Kristen Stewart is as Bella Swan in Twilight.

However, those movies (and her character in particular) were poorly written, and not even the greatest actress in the world could have done justice to it.

If you would really want to get a sense of Stewart as an actress, you need to see a lot more of her work in order to truly get a sense of who she is, because she seems to take her craft seriously.

First, there’s her breakout performance in Speak, where she plays a young high schooler who undergoes changes after she is raped by a classmate. Stewart was just 13 when she played the role, and is excellent.

Then you have later turns, in Adventureland, The Cake Eaters, Into the Wild, Welcome to the Rileys, and Clouds of Sils Maria, where she turns out one incredible performance after another.

However if you really want to see what Stewart can do, I suggest that you see On The Road, where she plays Marylou. Stewart makes the most out of a tough to play character, that in the hands of another actress, could have been disastrous.

That said, I would definitely take the time to get to know Stewart as an actress, rather than dispensing hate towards her for her role in the crapfest known as the Twilight series. She doesn’t deserve it.
