gamerant.com:

After starring as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man movies, Andrew Garfield has become a household name for every superhero fan out there. His return to the role in the MCU’s Spider-Man: No Way Home blockbuster sparked a resurgence of love for his rendition of Spider-Man, and fans have been posting about Garfield non-stop on social media ever since.

Of course, this isn't the only role where Garfield shines. In addition to playing Spider-Man, Garfield has starred in numerous other noteworthy films, although many of his roles have been overshadowed by his time as Peter Parker. Garfield has proven himself to be an incredibly diverse, talented actor in his other movies, such as those listed below.

Andrew Garfield Has 'No Plans' To Return As Spider-Man

In one of his earlier roles, Garfield plays the part of a convicted child killer in the film adaptation of Johnathan Trigell’s novel, Boy A. Garfield stars as Eric Wilson, who just finished serving time in prison for the murder of a young woman. Eric changes his name to Jack and tries to rehabilitate himself into society. The movie leaves a lot up to viewer imagination and ends on a harrowing cliffhanger, implying that Eric will commit suicide to escape his past. Although it's an extremely dark role and Garfield was still relatively fresh in his acting career, he does a good job of capturing Eric’s tortured nature.

Garfield found the perfect balance between Eric’s difficult childhood and young adult life, and Jack’s desire to do right and become an upstanding citizen. Although technically the same person, Garfield was able to seamlessly blend these two widely different halves into a single, believable performance that will surely leave viewers thinking about it for days.
