Fortunately, he has a good supporting cast to accompany him for Christopher Nolan’s latest feature, and no doubt once the movie hits theaters, the audition and casting opportunities for Whitehead will increase tremendously.
Before Dunkirk, Fionn Whitehead biggest role was starring in the ITV miniseries Him, where he played a teenager who discovered that he had telekinetic abilities.
One can only imagine how many others he had to beat to snag the role of British private Tommy in Dunkirk, but this will be his big debut for many moviegoers across the world.
