Tom Pelphrey’s Amazing Performance in Ozark as Ben Davis
The actor showed some extraordinary acting skills in one of the best Netflix series named Ozark. Ben Davis, a character brilliantly played by Tom Pelphrey, introduced in the first episode of Season 3, initially seemed to be some criminal maniac but turned out to be a bipolar disorder patient.
The character gradually evolves into becoming the pivot of the season. Viewers by the season finale got emotionally connected.
One feels anger and pity at the same time witnessing his unexpected and uncontrolled reactions. He complicated even simple things, always putting himself into a condition from which there was no escape.
These serious unintentional complications arose due to his unfortunate mental condition.
Viewers watched the complete season with the hope that Wendy and Marty may be able to help him.
A complex character, natural performance
Tom Pelphrey got the character into himself so well that it was unimaginable to think of someone else in the role.
Although all the other actors performed well, Tom stole the show. Moreover, the complexity of the character, bringing abrupt change in his behavior, seemed to come naturally to him.
It’s not just the actor but the writer and director too who put life into the character. Just like actors, they too are artists. Without them and their vision, outstanding actors also fail.
Award nominations
Tom got nominated twice for the best supporting actor award. The first was in a drama series for the Critics’ Choice Television Awards. The second was for series, miniseries, or television films for Satellite Award.
He also got nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series for the role.
However, no nomination for Emma Awards disheartened his fans.
Possible spin-off
The character created a possibility of a spin-off series based on the life of Ben Davis. We hope the makers think it over and make another exciting series that would show his life story and struggles.
Outer Range is a new upcoming show where Tom Pelphrey will be playing the role of Perry Abbott. There are no details about the character, and there has been no confirmation on the release date either. The premier will be available on Prime Video, though.

In the season finale of Ozark, there were some questions. Answers to these questions, we hope to find in season 4.
