Totally agree man, it’s a shame that acting merit is only a small part of the picture when it comes to Hollywood. So many gems left to the wayside I’m glad he’s well known at least now. Pedro Pascal is another one of those super talented actors like Starr who got his big break in GOT when he was already into his 40’s
People don’t realize this but the entirety of Banshee was really just Anthony Starr’s filmed audition for The Boys. Unfortunately he didn’t get the role he wanted (Mother’s Milk) but at least they found him a spot on the cast as Homelander.
I never saw this show, but that's a major trip to see him as a different character, but still having his trademark Homelander deep voice and preluding when he said he's doing whatever the F he wants!!!
It’s partly why he’s confused when people compliments some of his Homelander mannerisms. It’s literally just his regular mannerisms but people write it off as Homelander attributes lol
Man homelander portrays such a great cop. And the fact that he can pull back from using his powers to make it even more incredible. Next time they should give the Oscar to Homelander because he is so talented.
Antony was absurdly good at this role. Banshee is such an underrated gem. Love the guy who played Proctor too, such a good villain. Definitely recommend going through this entire show if you're a fan of Starr's acting in The Boys.
@@zacarias635 God, yeah. Banshee had some truly fucked up but fascinating characters. Chayton was great too, his actor had the most physically imposing presence in the show, and that's saying a lot with guys like The Albino.
It was an amazing show. It went a bit strange toward the end, but there were so many cool characters and a bone-crunching beatdown of some sort in almost every episode.
Because the show was honestly pretty lame after season 1. Season 1 was really fun. Season 2 the story took a trash turn. I didn't watch season 3 or 4 but my wife powered through it, along with one of my buddies. They both felt those two seasons were very weak. Banshee was fun, but it was just young adult fiction level writing and stories with Cinemax nudity and violence to make you think it was a more mature show. I despise that. You want to have mature sex and violence? Then please write your show at a college level.
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 the show always had a paper thin story but was still a very cool entertaining show and had to be the best action show on TV when it started.
Ngl, i saw banshee and read the boys before the boys tv show came out. as big of a fan of banshee, i initially was like Starr doesnt look anything like the superman type that homelander is based on but holy shit ive been proven wrong for the last three seasons. what an amazing actor indeed.
Banshee was great! That show kept you constantly wondering who Hood really was. And what the hell would happen next. Watch it ASAP...and as Homelander, Antony Starr is downright scary

And the thing that makes Homelander so much more terrifying is that you get these glimpses when you can see his Facial Expressions and his body movements like he is confused as to what he should be, could be, maybe wants to be? That is a dangerous lone to walk! Amd P.S. I have not began watching Season 4 yet and will start soon. But, without having to give away anytning...how is Jensen Ackles dling thus far.

Just please, be kind and dont ruin these first episodes!
For anyone unfamiliar with this, it's a TV series called Banshee. Anthony Starr plays an ex-convict assuming the identity of a dead sheriff in a small town that is riddled with crime. Absolutely recommend it 100% My only criticism with the series is the direction of the final series. While it did wrap up all the character arcs nicely by the final episode, that last series itself Just doesn't quite resemble the rest of the show. I think there were too many aesthetic changes, which made it feel different. That being said, it's still a gold standard series that deserves more appreciation.
Banshee remains one of THE most criminally underrated shows of all time. Starr is a force of nature here. That said, I loathed the final season, it stunk of "well, we gotta kill these guys off now it's the final season so let's do THIS", which produced some (in my humble opinion) seriously weak character decisions that I felt just wouldn't have happened otherwise. I won't get into them in case anyone reading this watches the show for the time because if it, and I in no way think it's worth passing on the show, but you'll know what I mean when you see it.
Yeah, final season was a bit dogshit. Felt like a departure, but everything that came before it was brilliant. One particular character death just floored me and bummed me out soooo hard. I was actually in a bit of denial
Man its so weird seeing him actually being skilled and tactical, its just so hard to see Antony play a character like that because I'm so used to Homelander just f*cking lasering every problem he encounters and not actually ever solving anything using any real tactics or skills but instead just gets what he wants by intimidating people and using his powers haphazardly
Lol that word half hazardly took me out for a second. It's like it sounds very familiar but it looked wrong you know? Like when people say would of (it's would have) 😂
You should see the role which made him famous in New Zealand, he also played Van's twin brother Jethro who was a lawyer, but Van's the one people always quote. th-cam.com/video/wj_ffBUfb3k/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=redfive86
Tony Starr is the main protagonist in Banshee, where in The Boys he's the main antagonist. Same demeanor, but completely different affect on the audience in terms of likability! Love it!
I was in highschool when I found about this show. Once seen - never forgotten. Still my favourite tv series years later. It has these dark solid moments when you think something unnaturral is about to happen.The story about someone who lost the love of his life and still comes back to search for them sometime later. On the other hand the fight scenes are epic.I liked these black-white flashbacks where Hood remembers/resemble a fight move or a memory. Miss this show so much..
Funny thing is Lucas Hood would literally spit down on the likes of Homelander and has more in common with Billy Butcher that being a far more cynical, hardened, ex military individual and occasional vigilante taking the law into his own hands to serve true justice following what he deems as right and wrong. The thing that drew me the most to this show was Hood’s keen sense of moral intelligence. I had been recommended this show after The Boys as another great Antony Starr performance and when I started it everything about the main character seemed reminiscent of Homelander, that being a careless slimy self absorbed scumbag with an aggressive demeanor and didn’t think I would like the character very and much and it would be one of those ‘Can’t help but root for the bad guys’ shows. Come episode 2 and we see Hood damn near kill a rapist for assaulting a girl WITH passion mind you and I was instantly hooked and realize this was a complete anti hero and total badass worth watching.
I found out about Banshee on a "underrated TV shows you've never heard of" list online. I wanted something new to watch at the time, it was in lockdown, and was seeking a really good drama, and i found it with Banshee and was surprised it wasn't more well known. Not exactly as mainstream as other shows. Controversial opinion now but its better than breaking bad, which I enjoyed so don't hate me but it is better and more up my street. As far as crime drama goes Banshee is just fucking amazing and did something very unique. I was sad when I finished it. Great brutal series, and am totally going to binge again when it's less fresh in my memory. Clay Burton in the show who worked for Kai is as scary as Homelander! Antony Starr as Lucas Hood was perfect casting to, and now on The Boys, he's epic. Guy lands the best roles.
I know the feeling man, i don't know if it's better than BB, both are on the same level IMO, although i like the brutal fights of Banshee a little more. It is certainly a crime that no one heard of this show before, it sure is an underrated diamond.
Banshee is awesome but it got alot of hate because of Job people didnt like his character cus he pushed boundaries they were uncomfortable with but job is one of the best characters on the show imo with hood and chayton
Starr did a lot of his own stunts in Banshee too, and given how many licks he takes in that show it's kinda surprising he's still walking. He's on record as saying The Boys is like an "easy desk job" for him, because he's not constantly doing psychotic stunts lol.
@@AromalBabu-c8y Breaking Bad was the Squid Game of that time, in as much as people just wouldn't stop talking about it and it was so Insanely popular. I didn't care for a lot of breaking bads filler, when it was good it was really good but I hated Skyler, Hank and Marie were the most painful thing about it, and my god I never cared about Walt Junior. Now, I appreciate that shows build up and it was amazing, Cranston was outstanding, and so many intense moments and I absolutely dug the chemistry between Walt and Jesse. I enjoyed it very much but I was never part of the insane hype. Some shows receive critical acclaim while others go completely ignored. I used breaking bad as an example I suppose, of a show that was very well known that I never brought into it in the same way. Banshee was better for me personally because all the characters in it were just insanely good and there was never a dull moment. I never felt bored watching it and it was a lot more, adult I suppose and wasn't afraid to go all out. Just a fun, short indie series that deserves more attention. Again though, Breaking Bad is fine. I actually really liked El Camino A breaking bad story. ! If breaking bad was that film more often, I probably wouldn't have many complaints about it.
watching this, i start to wonder how many actually talented actors are and were never discovered.. we all learnt what a great acting skill antony star has.
Antony is a brilliant actor yet i feel he’s kinda underrated for some reason. Even when hes not acting he feels like hes gonna rip your head off. Great man.
*[Homelander Intensifies]* videos like this is why you want to always have captions enabled on TH-cam, for times like this when they're custom made by the creator. chef's kiss indeed
It's sad that this series didn't have as much fame considering that thanks to Banshee Antony Starr now has the emblematic fame for The Boys. Banshee its a epic serie I hope many people get to see it sometime while the new season of The Boys premieres in 2026
I found Anthony Starr from Homelander, but got damn I need to watch this show edit: Also I can see Starr being a badass action star just from watching this
He is such a good actor as homelander that I watched all the episodes of Banshee and realize just now that Antony Starr played in both series as a major character
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR That’s as much of a spoiler as saying that Walter White is dying of cancer. It happens within the first act of the first episode, and it’s the driving force for the premise of the entire show.
Banshee was one of my favorite tv shows that had next to no viewers. Very underrated show and rarely ever seen Anthony Starr. So when I seen that he was homelander on the boys, I was hooked.
He played it with more intensity as homelander and it just happens to fit. Unquestionably he's a lead actor in the boys capable of going head to head with Karl Urban's Butcher. I swear the boys is the best thing to come out of the entertainment industry in years
This is what the Starlighters don't want you to see. Homelander literally just took down a Nazi stronghold and the media is still demonizing him, give me a break.
I got into banshee after seeing people at the boys commet section recommending the series gotta say banshee is easily one of the most underrated series ever and lucas hood man that character is straight up wolverine without the claws
Everyone talks about how great of an actor he is the way he plays Homelander. What if he's just being himself and we're the ones being played? DEEP THOUGHTS WITH THE DEEP
One day I hope Banshee will get the respect it deserves. Anthony was in fine form, but he was in good company - the show was basically an ensemble of badasses fighting each others constantly.
I always love how media portrays nazis. They're never just watching tv or eating food, they HAVE to be tattooing themselves while blasting thrash metal.
They were portrayed really well in Breaking Bad. They seemed like regular guys but were actually sick in the head and had no problem killing people no matter if they deserved it or not.

@@Imbatman131 Banshee.
i watched Banshee many years ago and i never realized they were the same actor holy shit. thats some godly level of acting skills right there
A Homelander that punches nazis instead of fucking with them? I'll take that..
He didn't just fuck "with" them
The real Nazis would have executed loser Neo-Nazis rejects.
The actual Nazis did not like delinquency, drug use or degeneracy.
@@scoopidywhoop7484 that’s what he did though
@@paulallen2680 He did it with Stormfront actually...
Glad you’re paying homage to such an underrated show! This gem needs more exposure!!!!
What’s it called
@@malvado7854If you don’t know already, it’s Banshee
@@malvado7854 Banshee
(Homelander intensifies)
Impeccable caption work.
Fun fact: they based the character Homelander on Antony Starr🤣🤣🤣
"You stay the f*** back (or i'll laser you goddammit)"
I found out about Banshee on a "underrated TV shows you've never heard of" list online. I wanted something new to watch at the time, it was in lockdown, and was seeking a really good drama, and i found it with Banshee and was surprised it wasn't more well known. Not exactly as mainstream as other shows. Controversial opinion now but its better than breaking bad, which I enjoyed so don't hate me but it is better and more up my street. As far as crime drama goes Banshee is just fucking amazing and did something very unique. I was sad when I finished it. Great brutal series, and am totally going to binge again when it's less fresh in my memory. Clay Burton in the show who worked for Kai is as scary as Homelander! Antony Starr as Lucas Hood was perfect casting to, and now on The Boys, he's epic. Guy lands the best roles.
I know the feeling man, i don't know if it's better than BB, both are on the same level IMO, although i like the brutal fights of Banshee a little more. It is certainly a crime that no one heard of this show before, it sure is an underrated diamond.
Banshee is awesome but it got alot of hate because of Job people didnt like his character cus he pushed boundaries they were uncomfortable with but job is one of the best characters on the show imo with hood and chayton
Starr did a lot of his own stunts in Banshee too, and given how many licks he takes in that show it's kinda surprising he's still walking. He's on record as saying The Boys is like an "easy desk job" for him, because he's not constantly doing psychotic stunts lol.
There are lot of underrated series that are as good as Breaking bad, banshee is one of em along with dark
@@AromalBabu-c8y Breaking Bad was the Squid Game of that time, in as much as people just wouldn't stop talking about it and it was so Insanely popular. I didn't care for a lot of breaking bads filler, when it was good it was really good but I hated Skyler, Hank and Marie were the most painful thing about it, and my god I never cared about Walt Junior. Now, I appreciate that shows build up and it was amazing, Cranston was outstanding, and so many intense moments and I absolutely dug the chemistry between Walt and Jesse. I enjoyed it very much but I was never part of the insane hype. Some shows receive critical acclaim while others go completely ignored. I used breaking bad as an example I suppose, of a show that was very well known that I never brought into it in the same way. Banshee was better for me personally because all the characters in it were just insanely good and there was never a dull moment. I never felt bored watching it and it was a lot more, adult I suppose and wasn't afraid to go all out. Just a fun, short indie series that deserves more attention. Again though, Breaking Bad is fine. I actually really liked El Camino A breaking bad story. ! If breaking bad was that film more often, I probably wouldn't have many complaints about it.
Awww, Banshee.🥰 By far one of the most underrated series. 10/10!
Oh look, another person online who doesn't understand what "underrated" means.
"You stay the fuck back" and "Whatever the fuck I want" were too accurate...
Homelander and noir sweeping the streets
"whatever the fuck I want" Yeah that's just Homelander
Banshee forever in our hearts ❤
watching this, i start to wonder how many actually talented actors are and were never discovered.. we all learnt what a great acting skill antony star has.
Antony is a brilliant actor yet i feel he’s kinda underrated for some reason. Even when hes not acting he feels like hes gonna rip your head off. Great man.
0:22 bro literally just turned into Homelander, this is probably what got Anthony Starr the role of Homelander
Antony Starr as Homelander will be remembered for a long long time. Perfect casting.
*[Homelander Intensifies]*
videos like this is why you want to always have captions enabled on TH-cam, for times like this when they're custom made by the creator. chef's kiss indeed
0:27 thats his favorite line
1:21 "YOU STAY THE FUCK BACK! ILL LASER EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE OF YOU!"
I love Antony, he's one of my favorite actors. I wish he would play roles like this in more shows because he nails his persona perfectly.
If he isn't cast as a klansman at some point, I'm gonna be disappointed
Banshee was such a kickass show, over the top violence and memorable characters all around. It's worth watching at only 4 seasons.
Yesss
man this guy sooooo good
He’s still a stand up guy to his partner. Poor A-train then again, his partner did not run through people.
Banshee was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
This guy is the real hero
It's sad that this series didn't have as much fame considering that thanks to Banshee Antony Starr now has the emblematic fame for The Boys.
Banshee its a epic serie I hope many people get to see it sometime while the new season of The Boys premieres in 2026
That Nazi flag chillin in the background as he looks back is some pretty good foreshadowing/symbolism.
also stormfront
I found Anthony Starr from Homelander, but got damn I need to watch this show
edit: Also I can see Starr being a badass action star just from watching this
Banshee is great fun! Watch it asap.
Its on HBO Max
antony star has such a well face for a just straightup sociopath. he can display his thoughts in his face movement
Banshee was such an epic show. The level of violence was insane.
homelander be completing his sidequest😂😂😂
1:22 … or i’ll laser you goddamn it
He is such a good actor as homelander that I watched all the episodes of Banshee and realize just now that Antony Starr played in both series as a major character
Banshee is one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen. A must watch.
He’s the opposite of homelander but still acts the same way
He’s easily becoming one of my favorite actors, I’ve binged watched the boys several times I can’t wait for season 4
Banshee is genuinely a masterpiece. Season 3 is one of the greatest seasons of television ever.
He looks at the thugs and says "You guys. *YOU GUYS* are the real heroes!"
Wow, he can even play a cop! Never seen such an accurate representation before.
He's not really a cop in the show, man.
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR Calm down, it's not a big deal. You literally find out in the first episode lol
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR the very beginning of the show confirms that he ain't a cop lol
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR That’s as much of a spoiler as saying that Walter White is dying of cancer. It happens within the first act of the first episode, and it’s the driving force for the premise of the entire show.
@@dalton6108 That’s not what their barely literate high school teacher and the news are saying.
I knew it was Him right here 0:27
It’s like seeing the Villain that gave you PTSD reappear.
"Officerlander in duty."
Banshee was one of my favorite tv shows that had next to no viewers. Very underrated show and rarely ever seen Anthony Starr. So when I seen that he was homelander on the boys, I was hooked.
You realize when a guy is a good actor, because he doesn't use the same patterns for every character he plays.
He played it with more intensity as homelander and it just happens to fit. Unquestionably he's a lead actor in the boys capable of going head to head with Karl Urban's Butcher. I swear the boys is the best thing to come out of the entertainment industry in years
@@obe1withtheforce785 agreed
1:17 - His partner appeared out of thin air apparently.
How are you today?
"However the fuck I want"
This is what the Starlighters don't want you to see.
Homelander literally just took down a Nazi stronghold and the media is still demonizing him, give me a break.
Muito injusto
Such I good show, time for a rewatch!
crazy how he dropped TWO homelander lines before he was homelander. kripke must have written those into the boys on purpose
I got into banshee after seeing people at the boys commet section recommending the series gotta say banshee is easily one of the most underrated series ever and lucas hood man that character is straight up wolverine without the claws
Everyone talks about how great of an actor he is the way he plays Homelander. What if he's just being himself and we're the ones being played? DEEP THOUGHTS WITH THE DEEP
Watch with captions on 😂😂😂 “homelander intensifies”
One day I hope Banshee will get the respect it deserves. Anthony was in fine form, but he was in good company - the show was basically an ensemble of badasses fighting each others constantly.
I always love how media portrays nazis. They're never just watching tv or eating food, they HAVE to be tattooing themselves while blasting thrash metal.
Good point, we get it they’re violent assholes but they don’t just sit in their porch from 9-5 looking threatening smoking 5 packs of cigarettes
They were portrayed really well in Breaking Bad. They seemed like regular guys but were actually sick in the head and had no problem killing people no matter if they deserved it or not.
This dude would have made for a terrifying terminator . Rated .R . 🥶
This is an alternate universe where Homelander doesn’t have powers.
This video convinced me to finally watch Banshee, and I am glad Indid. What a fantastic show.
