The Maze Runner (my talk about the actors)

As you all know I am reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I saw the movie, fell in love with it and am now reading the book. I can honestly go on and on about some of the actors/ characters in the book/ movie. That is what I am doing today in this extra blog post:



First off the main character: Thomas who is portrayed by Dylan O'Brien. O'Brien is from a hit TV show on MTV called Teen Wolf. The way O'Brien plays Thomas is similar to Stiles in season 3B, as I said in previous blog posts. He is a confused, strong-minded person who has to deal with a lot. Thomas is the same. He has to deal with his memory loss, what the Glade is and everything else about that place. Asking questions and getting answers is how Thomas figures things out and doesn't give up till he has all the information he needs. In Teen Wolf, Scott and all of Stiles' friends don't give up in helping Stiles get away from the Nogitsune. Stiles is being controlled by this creature and doesn't know what exactly he is doing. Its the same way with Thomas; not knowing if he is doing the right thing. Honestly if Dylan O'Brien didn't play Thomas, the movie would be a bust. He knows the structure of the character really well and has a sense of how to play Thomas like that. HATS OFF TO DYLAN O'BRIEN! 


Then there is Minho who is played by Ki Hong Lee. I don't know much about him or any of the other characters in fact... If you guys remember, he was in Victorious and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Lee did a great job bringing Minho to life. He was a type of character I didn't expect. Minho was this character who only seemed what was good in his eyes. When Thomas saved Alby from the Grievers, Minho saw that having Thomas a runner would be the best thing for him and everyone else. Thank You Ki Hong Lee for doing a fine gob playing Minho!

Now we have Gally who is portrayed by Will Poulter. If you watched The Chronicles of Narnia, he played Eustace Scrubb, the cousin to the Pevensie's in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Gally is someone who doesn't trust Thomas from the get-go and thinks he is up to no good. No one else plays Gally better than Poulter because of his character capability he has shown in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a lot like how Gally is shown. He also brought Gally's character to life just as the other actors did! Thank You Will Poulter for playing Gally in a way we won't forget!


And finally Teresa who is portrayed by Kaya Scodelario. Teresa is the only female ever in the Glade and she ended up coming a day or two after Thomas. She at the beginning is a shady character. Kaya was in Skins, Clash of the Titans, Emmanuel and the truth about Fishes... Thank you Kaya Scodelario for playing Teresa!
