I watched Top Gun: Maverick a few hours ago and Miles’ performance was astounding. He’s incredible

[mpolin_]

Miles is so underrated, he’s literally been in huge blockbusters (Divergent Saga, Top Gun), cinematic masterpieces (Whiplash), and actually funny comedies (Project X, War Dogs). Respect dude!

[globaladman]

Someone has to get this guy an oscar winning role. He's brilliant.

[sonjalibby]

I read that in the Divergent series his role started out minimal but he had such charisma with the character that they wrote him more scenes and bigger parts in the sequels.

[batmanfanizationreborn]

Havent seen him in a while, but the truth remains he is still one the most talented actors in hollywood, interested what roles he will take in the future

[nothingstaysthesame]

I have missed seeing Miles in movies, loved him in all the stuff he did 5-10 years ago. Amazing actor and fun to watch.

[Rockyrocks]

the amount of charisma running through this man’s veins…

[brettkeller]

Miles Teller has done incredible work already and we all know his best work is still ahead of him

[LondonCelt]

Watching him in Maverick, he does such a brilliant job, he IS Goose's boy, love his chemistry with Tom in the movie.

[Destinychanged]

Unlike a lot of actors, his early career seemed to have him in meaningful roles. He’s still going strong as an actor. I’m really impressed.

[maudeex]

I’ve seen Maverick twice now, it’s amazing. Gives you all the nostalgia moments you need yet beats the first one! Miles was amazing in it so so good the chemistry and relationship with Tom Cruise so good!!!! Love it might have to go and see it a third

[MayaLea]

He’s been talented for forever. Not just from piano. His acting makes him one the most talented people out there. A guy of many talents

[jodiecarlson]

He was cast perfectly as Goose's son, and did an amazing job!

[synthe_]

I didn't even recognize him as Rooster. I thought his performance was amazing and when I looked up the name of the actor that played the role and saw it was Miles, I was blown away. His performance in Top Gun: Maverick was stellar.

[cjdr.]

The Offer is by far one of Miles' best performances. The show is ABSOLUTELY GREAT. Major awards for him and for the outstanding cast and the show are inevitable, undeniable and richly deserving.

[delrey]

I watched Top Gun: Maverick today and it was a masterpiece. And Miles Teller did a great job 👏

[marialewis]

Underrated actor and will be one of the best of his generation ...

[lincoln]
