since we’re all on about elias face claims, can I please suggest the guy* who played claudius in my favorite production of hamlet?
(*August Jeske, NOT the Polish educator and journalist from the 1800s, but feel free to go down that wiki rabbit hole if you wanna)
links to timestamps for some very Nice Mannerisms he does. that have impeccable vibes, not just for elias but for any high class suave villain
just the way he closes the book. that’s literally all this timestamp’s for.
(please I beg of you keep watching until he does all three. It’s in the span of around a minute)
the way he does the gun thing behind his back
the way he PUSHES THE GUN DOWN (and then fixes his suit. like the proper gentleman he is.)
there’s so much more but this is incredibly tedious and I don’t have the capacity to continue
