Really didn't like the idea of KHB as Death (just the look) , but gave it a chance when I heard you personally approved. Man was i glad to be wrong wrong wrong, she was AWESOME. Every single bit of S1 casting was perfect, can't wait for S2.
He was recently in a very camp villain role in the current Famous Five series on bbc, complete with moustache and his lunacy makes sense as a trial for Puck.
Jaffre was a very stressful role, because people had/have a bad habit of projecting the character's persona onto the actual actor, and so Gleeson said it made him not want to act any further.
I'm so glad he's back. He played Joffrey perfectly, despite all accounts being a wonderful person in real life and I was sad to hear the fandom pushed him out of his career
Indya Moore as Wanda is inspired casting, I love it! Genuinely stoked for this next season of Sandman. Thank you so much for casting a trans actor to portray a trans character. 🏳️⚧️ ❤️ 🏳️🌈
I'm curious if it is being adapted or we are getting some mashup story... The description of Wanda sounds like Ruby from Brief Lives... I hope they don't remove Barbie, thessaly, et al.
I'm also guessing we'll get Puck attached to Nuala and Clurican in Season of Mists. But I'd like to be wrong, as A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of my absolute favorite of the standalone stories.
I’ll confess I was initially sort of hoping for stunt-casting Ian McShane as Odin, but Clive Russel is perfect and the rest look on point as well. Quite a coterie of Game of Thrones alums you’re assembling.
How wonderful to see Clive Russell in there! Makes me want to rewatch Neverwhere - although, to be fair, the *existence* of Neverwhere makes me want to rewatch Neverwhere!
I saw him live a few months ago, doing his one-man show about Charles Ignatius Sancho, and came away thinking, welp, that certainly did NOT cure the crush I've had on him since Neverwhere.
I saw him live in 2022 and he literally went 'ah, the coat that would make shaft and blade ask where you got it' when I asked him a neverwhere question.
He’s so hot AF that I thought his actual name was Paterson Joseph HAF.
Also he and Olivia Coleman in Green Wing are my one true pairing.
I have said too much but I spoke my truth.
That one episode of Grantchester in season 4. His American accent is just... it's painfully cringe. The only time I don't enjoy him immensely is when he's doing it.
Oh, he really is! I watch it every few years and its lost none of its magic.
I was in a discussion about Doctor Whos who never were a while back and he would've been SO great... except how could he have played it other than as de Carabas?
You are often right, but I do not think you have ever been more right than this.
Paterson Joseph as the Marquis de Carabis is... (fans self, repairs to the swooning couch).
I seem to recall an interview with him where he said he drew some inspiration from Jon Pertwee's Doctor. I can see that.
The problem is that it looks incredibly rough to watch now because it was made with a budget of 50p and it was filmed with a camera made out of a potato.
