EARL CAVE (left)—yes, offspring of Nick—is a nineteen-year-old bundle of
nervous energy who impressed on the dark comedy The End of the F***ing

“I was a very introverted person who wanted nothing to do with the stage,”

Steve McQueen–directed six-part BBC anthology about London’s West Indian
community. “It’s probably the most important job I’ve ever done,” says Kirby.Suit ($1,395) by Boss; tank ($40, pack of three) by Calvin Klein Underwear.77 MARCH 2020
