Though Kross sported a slightly soft and innocent look, he deliberately and aggressively cut against the grain of expectations by seeking out and thriving in emotionally demanding roles. These included a turn as a 15-year-old boy forced to fend for himself in a tough urban neighborhood in Detlev Buck's drama Tough Enough (2006), a teenager who sinks into the occult and black magic in Marco Kreuzpainter's fantasy adventure Krabat (2008), and an adolescent who begins a torrid affair with an older woman (Kate Winslet) little realizing that she's a Nazi, in the Stephen Daldry-directed, David Hare-scripted drama The Reader (2008). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
