SKYLER
GISONDO

Skyler Gisondo was born in Palm Beach County, Florida, on 22 July 1996. His screen work includes Eric Bemis in Santa Clarita Diet, Jared in Booksmart, Gideon Gemstone in The Righteous Gemstones and Jimmy Olsen in Superman (2025). Together, those credits give several routes into an actor whose work often unfolds among a large cast. A character may be responding to someone else’s emergency or trying to make himself understood in a crowded conversation. FLM.RED follows those responses: the hopeful start of an explanation, the moment it goes wrong and the effort to recover without losing the other person.

Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet places Gisondo’s Eric in a world where suburban family life accommodates an increasingly strange reality. The comic challenge is to let a response feel personal even when the situation is outrageous. In FLM.RED’s reading, nervous energy works best when it has a purpose: someone needs an answer, wants to help or is afraid of saying the wrong thing. The Righteous Gemstones supplies a different environment through Gideon, within Danny McBride’s series about a televangelist family. Watching these roles together draws attention to how the people surrounding a character determine the stakes of an ordinary exchange.

Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart (2019) brings Gisondo into a graduation-eve comedy as Jared. The film follows Amy and Molly as they try to recover the social experiences they believe they have missed. For FLM.RED, that premise makes their encounters with classmates particularly revealing: the impression one person has formed of another may be incomplete. A supporting performance can carry that discrepancy without stopping the story to explain it. Gisondo’s comic timing becomes interesting in the gap between an intended gesture and its reception, leaving room for awkwardness to change into a different understanding of the person making it.

Superman (2025), written and directed by James Gunn, casts Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen. Moving into the Daily Planet’s world places him among people whose working lives continue around extraordinary events. FLM.RED is interested in the scale of that contrast: a colleague’s response can give a superhero story a recognisable social texture without competing with its spectacle. Following the ensemble is therefore another way to approach the performance. These selected roles describe different stages and settings of Gisondo’s work.
