We like the humour he brings to *Twisters*, while remaining more certain of his value in a supporting cast than his prospects as a leading man. In *Twisters* (2024), Brandon Perea's Boone is the cameraman beside Glen Powell's Tyler, picking up most of the jokes Powell does not. We laughed at Boone's lines, and were grateful for them in a film that repeatedly interrupts its storms so the characters can be sad. Perea gives us good reason to welcome him in a supporting cast. He lands the comedy even when the leading man is the main reason to keep watching. His first major part was Alfonso 'French' Sosa in *The OA* (2016–2019), before Jordan Peele's *Nope* (2022) brought him wider attention as Angel Torres. His background in jamskating and breakdancing informs the physical energy of his character work. The recurring opportunity has been a supporting role offering humour and a grounded presence alongside larger stars. That can sound like a modest assignment, but a film soon suffers when nobody is doing it properly. Peele and Lee Isaac Chung have both allowed him to contribute to building a character. He helped shape Angel with Peele; Chung cast him as Boone after watching *Nope* and meeting him, without asking for an audition. That working relationship is worth noticing, though it does not make him the chief attraction in *Twisters*: Powell still is. Perea's achievement is smaller and worth acknowledging on its own terms. He gives a gloomy film jokes that work, which is precisely what it needs from him. Perea takes the male lead as Nick Mendoza in *Insidious: Out of the Further* (2026). Jacob Chase finds useful scares in sofa cushions and dental work, but the family story struggles to keep moving through the supernatural explanations. Those weaknesses are not a reason to declare Perea unsuited to a bigger part, though they leave us cautious about recommending the film as evidence of what he can do. A larger role is not automatically a better opportunity. Start with *Twisters* if storm films appeal, and allow for rather too much gloom between the weather. ## Biography Brandon Perea is an American actor.
