Hi P. Let me begin by saying I really enjoy your blog especially when you put Sam "haters" in their place. Which brings me to my question. I have read references to Sam's "5 acting things" but I'm wondering what people are referring to. Even Cait has mentioned it once or twice. Some commenters have used the phrase sarcastically. I'm having trouble finding info about it in your archive. Could you please guide me with a # to narrow my search or could your followers help me out? Thank you !
Hi, thanks for your kind words about my blog!
As for the "5 acting things," I'm not sure what that refers to. You won't find it if you search it on my blog because I don't think I've ever mentioned it. I did a Google search and there's an article with Caitriona Balfe, where she mentions Sam's eyebrow arch as one of his acting things. 👇
Here's the excerpt. 👇
I'm assuming she's referring to some actors who have some acting techniques or mannerisms they use. And for some actors, they're things that are ingrained in them, so they do them no matter the role. Some actors try to conquer their innate mannerisms and actively work against them in each role. And others, bring some of themselves to each role, and don't get rid of their mannerisms.
Some examples of great actors who don't get rid of their mannerisms or "5 acting things" are: Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Samuel L. Jackson, George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, and back in the day, John Wayne. You always know it's Tom Cruise in whatever role he's playing, but that doesn't mean he's not great in his movies. He is. He and the others I mentioned, among many others not listed, have that "it" factor. That charisma or star quality that you either have or you don't. They're mesmerizing to watch; they suck you in just by their presence, and you can't take your eyes off them whenever they're on the screen. Sam Roland Heughan has that "it" factor.
Soooo, when haters try to put him down by saying he's got certain mannerisms he uses no matter the role, refer him to the list of GREATS above, and tell them to take several seats and STFU. Also, a famous eyebrow archer, no matter the role, and undeniably, one of the greatest actors of all time, Mr. Jack Nicholson. 👇
Sam's in good company.

love the idea of a zuko that gets so insufferably hot as he ages. like he’s almost 30 and people on the streets pass out when they see him, he’s just so gorgeous. even his friends are all like “don’t look directly at me, you’re making me uncomfortable.” but then there’s sokka, who doesn’t treat him any differently at all. he’ll run into zuko while he’s sparring in all his shirtless and sweaty glory but won’t pause one second before he explodes with his new ideas on how to improve the architecture of the turtle duck pond in the courtyard to make it more friendly to other animals and turn it into a healthier ecosystem for the native plants. and zuko loves this part of sokka—he loves sokka—so why is sokka the one and only person who doesn’t seem to find him attractive?
