Paddy Considine

I don't know who-

I, I do wish Paddy Considine had the, uh, the mustache.

Like, it, it feels weird seeing him [laughs] without the mustache.

I just, I just love they cast him as the handsome guy in this.

Yeah, exactly.

[laughs]

Uh, you know who should get to play the hot one is Paddy Considine.

[laughs] Just to, to, to finish the thing about Min- uh, Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, I just remember my favorite thing about that I saw it with my brother and my buddy, and my younger brother had not seen Reacher.

Quite exciting.

Robin, Robin van Persie, Noel Gallagher, Miles Kane, Matt Smith, Paddy Considine-

Matt Smith

... all these different people.

It's brilliant.

And interestingly, that exact same tool, the reliance on an actor's microexpressions to convey hidden internal realities, is the primary driver of our next case study.

But instead of a chess prodigy, we are looking at a serial killer.

A bit of a pivot.

He has to be charming, funny, and strangely sympathetic, even while he is, you know, wrapping a room in plastic sheeting.

Exactly.

And an actor's physical craft transcends the written exposition here.

Michael C.

Well, actually, it was with Bill.

There was a scene where I was playing my character, Bromley, or Joe, as just... it's just sat we're in the um in the kind of the the hall in online and and he's talking about the the coal the sort of the line of coal in the rock and he just did it so quietly and he was tapping the desk and he's telling this story and i was just like this is this is wonderful this is like I'm just watching him and I've read that script and I think I would have maybe tried to perform it a bit more and he just did it and I can't say it was so subtle he just did it and the same thing happened with Paddy Considine when we're in the in the gay club and Paddy's character Die comes and makes a speech and he's sort of like a bit kind of you know shy as he does it and And I was just like, it's like he doesn't, it's like he's only just saying the words for the first time now, you know,

which

is just pure acting.

Help me run him down.

So, Paddy Considine is House of the Dragon guy.

One of those target giants, right? He's one of the Andrews.

Rory What's-His-Nuts-Is-The-Hound.

He just wants everyone at the corporate retreat to do trust falls and get along.

And the actor playing him, Paddy Considine, noted that Viserys has this tragic majesty to him.

He is totally paralyzed by the fear of causing conflict.

He's desperate to leave a peaceful legacy, but his extreme passivity is exactly what sows the seeds for total war.

Prince Daemon Targaryen.

Yes.

If Viserys is holding up the peace sign, Daemon is actively searching for a match to throw into a fireworks factory.

He is something else.
