[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9371594, member: 18"] Yeah this has been an issue as long as actors have existed, amazingly - well certainly in Western Europe (I dunno if the slightly more mannered stuff in classical Greece or medieval Japan had similar issues) - it was a problem in the 1600s, for example, a problem in the 1800s, a problem in the 1900s, and still apparently some people are so profoundly stupid and culturally illiterate that it still is. Nathan Jones' performance wasn't even exceptionally creepy or anything - he played it pretty straight as a slightly mentally subnormal perv. It didn't stand out from the general background level of "Wow these are some evil bastards" that Furiosa had. I will say I appreciate an actor who can really absolutely emotionally wind me up [I]even though[/I] I am aware that they are acting - [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_K._Brown']Sterling K. Brown[/URL] is amazing for this. I love him as an actor, and he's played a number characters I absolutely loathed or really felt deeply frustrated by! [/QUOTE]
