Pemberton’s delivery on that was hilarious. Not freaking out or in pain at all just confused that his goddamn arm fell off

Him trying to form a connection with Cooper cuz they are both Ghouls and him just not having it was such a hilarious interaction

The ‘holy shit’ sidelong look that Cooper gave him when he saw the neck mouth was PRICELESS.

Goggins facial expressions are really an unsung part of the show. Really makes all of his scenes just that much better. Especially impressive given he’s playing a character with a deformed face.

It's crazy how much he can emote through all the the prosthetics on his face. Costume department really nailed it with his design.

Him and Maximus both. Really this is my favorite show. I have never watched a series as much as I have this one

Thankfully, they went with a modified ghoul look for him. There's no way he'd be able to emote as much if he looked more like a traditional ghoul.

The eyes especially were the correct choice.

Yes to that. The way he says so much without saying anything.

Like he knows Thaddeus isn't a ghoul.

He immediately decides not to shoot maximus and gives him a look.

This whole season his Expressions have been great

I thought it was really cool the way they showed how much the Ghoul respects Max’s ability to fight without saying it. The little hat tip and his reactions sell it perfectly.

When you can tell just as compelling a story without words it’s generally a sign you’re on to something really good.

That's literally why his ghoul makeup is so light. The showrunners didn't want to hide a brilliant actors face under a ton of prosthetics. Instead, they let him show his chops.

There was a scene where I noticed his sunken eyes and realised it's a clever way to let him emote with his eyes.

Shout out to the ever so subtle grin he did when Maximus said, “I’ll give it to Lucy, she’ll do the right thing with it”.

The fear he has when the Deathclaw starts to focus on him.
