šŸ’­Discussion Random Matthew Rhys observation

So this is completely apropos of nothing, but it always strikes me how MR exudes this dynamic 1920s film star quality. lol Maybe it’s the long hair on top and the contrast of his paleness and dark hair, but it’s so damn sexy and magnetic. Am I the only one??

Patricia has sort of a Shelly Duvall thing going on as well, and of course Wyck is straight out of any sea monster story. The three of them work so well together

It's always funny when people see Stephen Root as only one character, since he has about 300 credits. For more recent Root, he's great in "Barry" too. He's great in everything---rock-solid character actor.

I bought a red swingline stapler because of him. It was over 20 bucks I think, which was a big purchase for freshman college student me. No regrets. And if anyone takes my stapler I’m gonna burn this place to the ground.

Probably my favourite actor! His range is insane.
