Young actors in breakout roles who bested their older counterparts.

Submitted by ERSTF t3_1220isi in television

I was watching Yellowjackets season 2 and I am amazed how much I enjoy Sophie Thatcher's performance over Juliette Lewis'. I think she has a more nuanced portrayal of her character. More layers added. Juliette Lewis is just doing the cliché crazy woman. What other young actors can you think bested more experienced grown ups on their TV shows?

She’s doing a really good job in that role. Kind of nailing the Gen X teenager demeanor, imo.

Lewis was great and understated in season one. I thought she was the standout even if she got way less promo. I haven't caught season two yet though.

Jack Dylan Grazer was the best performer at 15 in We Are Who We Are, and he was up against Chloë Sevigny and Kid Cudi.
