Between 1948 and 1983 Golden Globes were awarded in a special category of “New Star of the Year” conceived to recognize young actors making a mark in their early roles. In this series, the HFPA’s Phil Berk highlights those that would follow their auspicious starts with distinguished careers.

There is a climactic scene in Wild Mountain Thyme where Jamie Dornan is so uncomfortable in his own skin that it looks like he wants to escape from his very famous body. It's endearing and funny – and if you listen to the actor that became an overnight heartthrob in the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy – he will assure you that John Patrick Shanley’s, Anthony, is more akin to his true nature than that of the posturing Christian Grey.
