Xennial actress Krysten Ritter throughout the years

Not… quite.

Although, I was talking to a buddy of mine and we realized we were 5 time Eskimo brothers. I thought we should start a club, but that could get awkward pretty quickly.

She definitely has not aged. Alot of women our age are like that though

princetrunks@reddit

I'm born in 83 and my wife was born 86... both of us still get confused for 20 year olds or heck even younger. Grateful for it

I have just crossed the line. My beard is a very monochrome looking thing. All black mustache and chops, mostly white everything else. When I shave i get late 30's but without shaving, now they guess older.

[-]

BritOnTheRocks@reddit

I only know her as Jane in Breaking Bad / El Camino and the Bitch in Apartment 23. Not sure if I’ve seen her in anything else, did she go MCU?

(I’m not a big TV/movie/comic book guy before y’all come at me)

[-]

Abidarthegreat@reddit

I highly recommend seeing at least the first season of Jessica Jones. David Tennant does an amazing job as an evil psychopath.

[-]

BritOnTheRocks@reddit

I like this specific type of recommendation and will keep it in mind since I have a Disney+ subscription. Do I need any prior knowledge of the MCU?

[-]

lovepeacefakepiano@reddit

No, but be prepared to hate, really truly viscerally hate, David Tennant for a bit, or at least the character he plays.

After his stint as the Doctor I thought nothing could ever make me hate him. Boy was I wrong.

[-]

QueenInYellowLace@reddit

Nope. It’s an astonishingly good show. I actually had to stop watching it after a couple of seasons because she plays a very tortured woman, and she’s so good that it was painful to watch.

And David Tennant is absolutely fucking terrifying. I did not know he could be like that.

[-]

headinthered@reddit

Fair warning, if you have any triggers, the show will trigger them.

[-]

QueenInYellowLace@reddit

Seriously, ALL the triggers. Like, all of them.

[-]

chonky__chonker@reddit

David Tennant is a brilliant versatile actor.

If you want more David Tennant and a really good murder mystery where you truly can’t guess where it’s going to go next I strongly suggest watching the first season of Broadchurch (also has Olivia Coleman in it as a bonus).

[-]

moles-on-parade@reddit

My wife and I saw him opposite Catherine Tate on stage doing Much Ado About Nothing in London fifteen years ago. He somehow manages to be even more amazing live.

[-]

QueenInYellowLace@reddit

I am so jealous. I’ve seen the clips of that floating around, and it looks so amazing.

[-]

TheCheshireCody@reddit

Another excellent suggestion for more Tennant is Casanova, a BBC production he did in 2005, written by Russell T. Davies. It was Tennant's performance in it that landed him the role as the Doctor. Also starring Rose Byrne, Peter O'Toole, and a few other actors people will recognize from Doctor Who.

Also, of course, Good Omens.

[-]

chonky__chonker@reddit

Adding to this also to add, I just watched Deadwater Fell on Prime Video (it’s their to 30 April), it’s 4 episodes and my lord is is good.

Yes, more David Tennant.

Also please everyone watch Good Omens (also on Prime).

[-]

Vorpal_Bunny19@reddit

Another Tennant as a bad guy suggestion is Bad Samaritan. Come for him as a serial killer type, stay for the after movie discussion about what you would do if you were committing some light breaking and entering and came upon a torture chamber in active use.

[-]

QueenInYellowLace@reddit

Like those teenagers who broke into a house and stole a bunch of CDs, took them home, found out they were full of child pornography, and called the police on themselves to get the guy arrested.

[-]

Abidarthegreat@reddit

Do I need any prior knowledge of the MCU

Not really, no. Netflix bought the rights to do a few TV shows that are MCU adjacent but aren't directly part of them, or weren't at the time in 2015. They bought Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron fist, and Luke Cage (later there was also a Punisher show based on his character from season 2 of Daredevil and a single season of a show called the Defenders which was just a big team up of all these characters).

Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the Punisher were so wildly popular that their characters have started showing up in actual Disney MCU movies/shows. Mainly Daredevil (Spiderman No Way Home and She-Hulk) and soon Punisher (Spiderman Brand New Day) but Disney also resurrected the Daredevil show on Disney+ which apparently also brings back the Punisher and Jessica Jones in the most recent season.

As a side note, I also thought Luke Cage was really good, but it never made it past season 1.

[-]

DarthBster@reddit

There's 2 seasons of Luke Cage.

Amazing-Treat-8706@reddit

I am not into superhero franchises but watched this and it’s a great show. No prior knowledge required.

So I'm a few years ahead of her, born 1979, and I've got some bad news. We have the same "DNA type" (meaning we look similar, same heritage, etc. I was really riding high on the "oh my god you don't look 40 (41, 42, 43... 45)" until I did. 😭 It's like someone took off pause and hit the fast forward button on aging. Of course, I'm not super focused on as skin care and supplements like celebs probably are... or I wasn't until last year. 😭

[-]

nochumplovesucka__@reddit

Same here. Looked good for/younger than my age my entire life. Until I had a stroke in 2022. Since then it seems like the aging has started going in fast forward. I swear I aged 10 years in the last 4. None of us beat the clock. And to quote Jim Morrison - "no one here gets out alive"

I saw the other day someone refer to Robert Pattinson as a Gen Z actor, but he was born in 86, which is solidly millennial. Likewise most of Robert DeNiro’s fans are Gen X.

I will always have love Krysten Ritter because she appeared in one of my all-time favorite romcoms: She’s Out of My League (2010). I used to watch that movie almost every night in 2011. This was years before Jessica Jones.

Krysten answering who she thought was the funniest cast member.

The cast was full of Xennials.

Jay Baruchel, 1982

Alice Eve, 1982

TJ Miller, 1981

Krysten Ritter, 1981

Nate Torrence, 1977

Mike Vogel, 1979

Lindsay Sloane, 1977

Geoff Stults (the stud pilot), 1977

Hayes MacArthur (hey, pirate), 1977

If you ever saw The Wonder Years, Lindsay Sloane appears in it and you could already tell she was going to be hot when she was still around 14-16.

Nate Torrence probably is funny in real life. The way he talks about Aladdin and Princess Jasmine in the movie. Then brought so much joy in Zootopia (2016). Hayes MacArthur I would later see in Angie Tribeca with Rashida Jones.
