#but also SO different that i literally forgot that wait aziraphale and bill masters is played by the same man. WHAT

y'know, i do think that actors are probably the closest that humans will ever get to a shapeshifter because sometimes i'll go through an actor's filmography and be totally taken aback by the sheer range of roles they've played and how violently dissimilar one role is from the other, so much so to the point that i'll literally forget that they played someone else and oh my god

#caroline talks #this is about me going from watching good omens to masters of sex btw #like i genuinely forgot that michael sheen has also played aziraphale #because even though YES same face and sometimes. in little flashes. the same expression #but also SO different that i literally forgot that wait aziraphale and bill masters is played by the same man. WHAT #i mean. it does also help that like. michael sheen's adopted some kind of american accent #and bill masters as a character is so . . . . #the real william masters leaves an incredibly sour taste in my mouth #but i watched the episode 'fight' and like. i was so. like. okay that was. ActingTM #because the entire episode is michael sheen and lizzy caplan's characters #talking about their sadder moments and it's like. all of that is said with zero music #the faint audio from the boxing match playing on a tv #but largely their voices. just quiet. and the emotions that flicker over their faces #and i was just. like. that was a truly breathtaking performance #where you are LITERALLY hanging onto every single word that the actors are saying #and you are hanging onto every single microexpression that passes across the actors' faces #and for two seconds you forget that they're characters and instead you feel like you're sitting in the hotel room with them #listening to someone you care about deeply (and you don't want to care about them but oh god you do!) spill their darkest secrets #and godddd that's.
