Who Did Oscar Beat On His Way
Oscar was one of the three shortlisted actors for the role of the first human born with the mutant-X gene named Apocalypse in Bryan Singer's latest venture. One of the other two names that were considered for the role was Thor and Luther star Idris Elba who was strongly rumored to be the key choice for the role. The third name in the list was of Chilean actor Pedro Pascal who played Oberlyn Martell in Games of Thrones.
If You Don't Know Who Oscar Is
The 35 year old Guatemalan-born American star launched his acting career in the year 2002. But it was in 2013, when he, first, stole the limelight with his performance in Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis. Oscar plays one of the vital roles in Disney venture Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens which is yet to be released on theaters.
