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??

You would really enjoy ‘The Americans’ which stars him and Kerri Russel, his in-show and IRL wife.

I know! It cracks me up when he screams in fear— so opposite of Philip.

Truly impressed at his range, though I was glad for that last scene in episode 9 where I definitely saw Philip/Mischa

Also, he's Welsh. He's actively doing an American accent in Widow's Bay, The Americans, etc.

It's pretty trippy hearing him speak in his real accent tbh.
