MacKay delivered a memorable performance in the Viggo Mortensen-led “Captain Fantastic” in 2016, but his break-out role came three years later in Sam Mendes’ wartime epic “1917.” The London-born actor won plaudits for his performance in the Oscar-winning film as a young soldier tasked with delivering a critical message across a battlefield in broad daylight in order to save 1,600 of his fellow soldiers.
For the actors navigating the physical demands of their roles, “the key to it was finding a bit of a safe space, where we knew when we were entering into the scene, and when we were leaving the scene, and discussing everything beforehand, in a purely sort of personal way, as to what Nathan and I felt comfortable with,” says MacKay.
