Sebastian Stan has had one of the most interesting careers in Hollywood. He got his start on TV playing roles like Carter Baizen in “Gossip Girl,” TJ Hammond in “Political Animals,” and the Mad Hatter in “Once Upon a Time.” At the same time, he was cast as Bucky Barnes, the lovable best friend of Steve Rogers in 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger.”
Fourteen years later, Stan is still playing Bucky, aka the Winter Soldier — “Thunderbolts” is out this year — and has appeared in multiple billion-dollar films in the role. He’s also been nominated for an Emmy for playing Tommy Lee in “Pam & Tommy,” appeared in multiple best picture nominees, and got the two biggest accolades of his career this year.
He won best actor in a comedy at the 2025 Golden Globes for his role in “A Different Man” and, a few weeks later, received his first Oscar nomination for playing Donald Trump in “The Apprentice.”
Here’s how critics have received Stan’s films throughout his career.
