"While theater gays have been up on the multi-talented actor since he made his Broadway debut in the 2017 revival of the musical Once On This Island, the rest of us seemed to catch on during his time on successive seasons of American Horror Story (the back half of Double Feature, followed by NYC), but with this week's one-two punch of buzzy projects, he's arguably more visible than ever. And we're definitely not complaining about that!"
"With The Moment, Powell gets to flex his comedy muscles as Lloyd, a character he said was initially described as a "demon twink from hell," a member of Charli's crew who always manages to be right by her side-whether he's needed or not. He calls the film a "cautionary tale" about the pitfalls of modern fame, a story he resonated with deeply as a performer in this increasingly surreal industry. But also it was as much of a blast from him to film as you'd expect; what actor wouldn't want to live out that "365 partygirl" lifestyle on the big screen?"
"And then there's latest episode of The Beauty, which revealed the nature of Powell's role in shocking, Ryan Murphy fashion. It gave him the opportunity to film his first proper action sequence ever-he'd just have to strip down to next-to-nothing and cover himself in mysteriously wet goop to do so. Pretty "brat" if you ask us!"
Isaac Powell's profile has increased through notable theater, television, and film roles. He made his Broadway debut in 2017 in the revival of Once On This Island and later appeared on successive seasons of American Horror Story. He portrays Lloyd in The Moment, a Charli XCX crew member described as a "demon twink from hell," and characterizes the film as a "cautionary tale" about modern fame. The Moment embraced a freeform, party-driven style and premiered at Sundance. In The Beauty Powell filmed his first proper action sequence, which required near-nudity and being covered in mysterious wet goop.
