12 foreign actors playing Americans in this year’s best TV shows and movies
Christopher Denham, Seth Neddermeyer, Emily Blunt, Gustaf Skarsgård, and Josh Peck in “Oppenheimer” (Universal Pictures)Emily Blunt starred in one of the most talked about films of the year, Christopher Nolan’s epic “Oppenheimer.” The British actress plays Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer, the wife of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who built the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan during World War II.
In “Oppenheimer,” Blunt portrays a very emotionally embattled woman who is said to suffer from alcoholism and mental illness. But Blunt plays her with sympathy and strength, supporting Oppenheimer through it all. Blunt’s scene defending Oppenheimer in front of government officials is a standout in the movie.
The actress was born and raised in the U.K. and has played a wide range of American roles like Emily the assistant in “The Devil Wears Prada” and the lead heroine in “The Quiet Place” series directed by her American husband John Krasinski.
