When an Actor Had to Start Over – Andrew Garfield

What happens when your dream role ends up breaking your heart? For Andrew Garfield, it only made him better. After years of working his way through British films, Garfield broke out in Hollywood with The Social Network. He was charming, vulnerable, and instantly in demand. Then came Spider-Man, his dream role since childhood. He poured everything into it, but behind the scenes, the experience was far from heroic. Studio politics and the scrapping of his sequels left him feeling lost, both with the industry and himself. But he didn’t give up. He chased riskier and more personal roles that challenged him as an actor, like a soldier who refused to use a weapon in Hacksaw Ridge, a priest questioning his faith in Silence, a composer racing against time in Tick, Tick… Boom!, and a performance so demanding it nearly broke him in Angels in America. Some of those roles took a year to prepare, but each one brought him closer to the kind of actor he wanted to be. This is the story of an actor who refused to give up, both with his career and his commitment to every role. This is Andrew Garfield.
