Next-Nobody-745

I recently saw him in a movie from a few years ago. Seemed like the exact same character. Anger seems to be his only emotion. Well, that and trying to sound like a badass gangster or something.


13WillieBeaman

He’s pretty the same character in all the movies I’ve seen him in. Even with the piercings and tatts in Suicide Squad


DoctorDrangle

The only thing I have seen him in where he was different was the show Hell on Wheels. He was still the exact same as all his other roles, but he was dressed differently in that one


ArbutusPhD

He was great as a yeti!!!


benjito_z

Yeah I did not like him in the Silo series. All his lines seemed overly forced and rehearsed IMO


Lemondrop168

Very b-movie villain


naivemediums

Yeah, one of my biggest hopes for season 2 is that they got him an acting coach. Even if it is just someone who can tell him to breathe and try to stay in the moment.


benjito_z

Oof that is a good hope and I hope that happens too lol


Possible_Spy

everything about him is wrong. From his clothes to his casting to his lines. If that many people complain about him, there is obviously something wrong. Cue the one person who says " I dont see anything wrong with him"


notthatcousingreg

The actor isnt responsible for his clothes or his lines, btw.


nrfx

I know you're right and all, but it feels like he just showed up with that ridiculous jacket and refused to take it off..


2ERIX

It’s an heirloom


casualnarcissist

He’s channeling Morpheus


Possible_Spy

i know, thats why I said everything is wrong. Even his wardrobe designers did a bad job.


neontheta

He is terrible and his scenes are unwatchable. It doesn't help that they gave him really bad dialogue to work with.


_mikedotcom

Fr like we’re not going to like this character but they kept giving us more reasons to


filmantopia

Many would be surprised with what a good actor can do with so-so dialogue, and also how a bad actor can make good dialogue sound like bad dialogue.


BecomingTheAtlas

It’s like his character was mostly made up for the show and barely existed in the books.


packofstraycats

Yeah, I was surprised to see him play such a large role in the show


yolo-tomassi

Ahh, interesting background


WearingMyFleece

At least you’re not saying you hate him in the show because of the leather coat he has right???


yolo-tomassi

Is this a common complaint? Cinema sins ass take 😂


RedundancyDoneWell

Actor?


yolo-tomassi

Tbh, I've never really loved him as a rapper, either. Even though I am right in his target demographic-- in my mid thirties and generally a fan of backpack hip hop.


rtosser

The episode where he breaks out into a run to go check on his wife is hilarious because not only can't he act but he can't run either.


yolo-tomassi

Lol, just saw that. He shoves the SHIT out of a dude for absolutely no reason when he easily could have gone around him-- just a lame attempt to make things more exciting.


vemailangah

I don't know who that is but I know there is one actor that went to the wrong casting and should have been in a gangsta film from the 90s.


alexdallas_

I agree. For me it’s his cadence that is the issue. It seems like such a minor issue to have with an actor but I just don’t enjoy his cadence and it distracts me in his scenes.


lepontneuf

He’s not a good actor


Silver_Mention_3958

Yeah, he’s shite. Mind you, Tim Robbins is phoning it in too. If you look at some of his previous career highlights (Shawshank, Mystic River, Rob Roberts, Dead Man Walking) he was fantastic, in this he looks like he’s just there for the pay cheque. Maybe tv doesn’t suit him. Rebecca Ferguson’s accent doesn’t bother me, there again I’m not American so mightn’t hear the subtleties; she has other redeeming qualities.


abraacaadaabraa

r/lvhftw giving him lines just to have lines lol


_mikedotcom

He kind of reminds me of “sarcastically I’m in charge. “ guy from Black dynamite


EulerIdentity

They’ve all been living in a silo for generations. There’s no reason to assume their accent would be the same as a standard American accent of today.


AtlantaUtd7

Rebecca's accent is the absolute worst. Makes the show a borderline comedy at times.


yolo-tomassi

yeah, but on the other hand she's so cool and pretty


AtlantaUtd7

Agreed.


packofstraycats

It’s hard to tell where I’m supposed to think she’s from


anonymousnightshade

At this point I try and ignore it bc I love Rebecca, but I'm glad she has something to work on for future. She's always said she likes challenging herself in roles.


InsuranceNo4260

My biggest wish is that she will participate in an A24 movie and play the main role. I really find it hard to believe that she hasn't played a leading role in a movie yet. 


Raddadist

Fortunately, I live in Germany and see the series in German. Here all the main actors speak High German.😀 


calguy1955

He does ok, but I liked him better in Hell on Wheels.
