21 | |
22 | * AwesomeDearBoy: How did Shailene Woodley convince him to take the role of Peter in ''{{Literature/Divergent}}''? By saying he'd get to punch her in the face. |
23 | * CastTheExpert: He'd been a drummer in high school, which came in handy for ''{{Film/Whiplash}}''. |
24 | * CreatorBacklash: He doesn't have much positive things to say about 2015's ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2015}}'', along with the rest of the cast and crew. |
25 | * DawsonCasting: He has found himself playing teenagers for most of his twenties. In ''Film/WarDogs'' he finally gets to play an early twenties character -- at the age of twenty-nine. |
26 | * PlayingAgainstType: In ''Fantastic Four'' he plays the quiet, mild-mannered Reed Richards. At the time of his casting, most felt he'd be more suited to Johnny Storm, given his usual type. |
27 | * PlayingWithCharacterType: ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'' deconstructs his character's lifestyle to show how he's really terrified of feeling ''anything'' and shows that his life is actually pretty empty. He's also firmly in JerkWithAHeartOfGold territory. |
28 | * ProductionPosse: Worked with Creator/JosephKosinski on three consecutive films from the director -- ''Film/OnlyTheBrave'', ''Film/TopGunMaverick'' and ''Film/{{Spiderhead}}''. |
29 | * RealitySubtext: He gets into serious car accidents in ''{{Film/Whiplash}}'' and ''Bleed for This'' and nearly causes one in ''Film/TheSpectacularNow''. He himself was in a near-fatal car crash once. |
30 | * StarMakingRole: His performance as Andrew Neiman in ''Film/{{Whiplash}}'' earned him much praise and decisive recognition. |
31 | * ThoseTwoActors: Has appeared with Creator/ShaileneWoodley in a [[Film/{{the Spectacular Now}} few]] [[Film/{{Divergent}} films]]. |
32 | * {{Typecasting}}: Miles usually gets cast as wisecracking DeadpanSnarker {{Jerkass}}es. |
