Jonsson will soon star as Sammy Davis Jr. alongside Sydney Sweeney in \u201cScandalous!,\u201d being directed by Colman Domingo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOf all the BAFTA film award categories, the Rising Star nominees have already been revealed.
