In his career, he has never had a big swing that failed or changed the course dramatically. As he worked hard in the roles he was given, Starr struck when something like The Boys came along, making Homelander one of the most memorable superhero characters in arguably the most crowded genre of contemporary films and television.
Starr did not even read the full script before he was starred as Homelander
In a surprising twist, Antony Starr almost didn't get the Homelander role. Metro reported that Starr rejected the script when he first received it, saying, "My reps sent me the script through and said this is one we should look at. I was busy, I was working pretty much every hour under god sent and they called me a week later and said, 'Have you read it?' I was like, 'No, leave me alone – I’m busy.'"
As soon as Starr saw it was a superhero part, he almost gave up and might not have auditioned but for pressure from his agents, "So I didn’t look at it for a week and a half and then I saw it was a superhero thing and I thought they’re not going to pick me anyway, I’m not mad for that.
Only after he got the part did Starr really pay attention to the script and was delighted by what he read. It is a blessing that he did, otherwise audiences would not have seen Antony Starr's incredible portrayal of Homelander.
