Lucas Hedges Career
Hedges had three film releases in 2018. He played the supporting role of a teenager who violently bullies his younger brother (played by Sunny Suljic) in the Mid90s, which marked the directorial debut of Jonah Hill. Eric Kohn of IndieWire wrote, “Hedges, quickly becoming the most impressive actor of his generation, buries himself in the gruff, unhappy role of an angst-riddled teen.”
Hedges played the lead role in his two other 2018 films—Boy Erased and Ben Is Back. In the former, based on the eponymous memoir, he played the son of a Baptist pastor who is forced to take part in a gay conversion therapy program. Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman played his parents. Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Farber noted that Hedges “carries the entire show and is alternately frightened, bewildered and defiant. There isn’t a false note in his performance.”
For Boy Erased, Hedges received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama. In Ben Is Back, a drama directed by his father and co-starring Julia Roberts, he played the titular character, a drug addict who returns home after spending time in rehab. Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood praised both Roberts’s and Hedges’s performances, adding that they “are pitch-perfect together, never striking a false note in demonstrating the everlasting bond between a mother and son.”
Also in 2018, Hedges made his first appearance on Broadway in a revival of Kenneth Lonergan’s play The Waverly Gallery, alongside Elaine May, Michael Cera, and Joan Allen at the John Golden Theatre. He played the role of a teenager coping with his grandmother’s Alzheimer’s disease.
Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune credited him for effectively conveying the “frustration family members feel when one of their own starts to decline.” Honey Boy, a drama penned by and co-starring Shia LaBeouf about his childhood and relationship with his father, marked Hedges’s first film release of 2019.
Hedges and Noah Jupe played Otis Lort, a character based on LaBeouf, at different ages. Reviewing the film for Entertainment Weekly, Leah Greenblatt wrote that Hedges “doesn’t seem to have found a role yet he can’t fully inhabit; his Otis is raw and furious, and genuinely funny.”
He next took on a supporting part in Trey Edward Shults’ Waves, a drama about the emotional journey of a suburban family, which led Peter Debruge of Variety to consider it “an impactful reminder of how much the actor can bring to a smaller role”.
In 2020, Hedges appeared in the miniseries Home Movie: The Princess Bride for Quibi to raise money for World Central Kitchen. Also that year, he starred alongside Michelle Pfeiffer in the comedy French Exit and was part of the ensemble cast of Steven Soderbergh’s comedy film Let Them All Talk. He will next appear in the FX anthology series The Premise.
