So I've mentioned a couple of times that I've been watching a lot of Umbrella Academy cast videos, and it has occurred to me that, instead of just spamming my housemate group chat with endless links and strings of ten exclamation points as reactions, I could put together a post here, and share my color commentary with the world. (you're welcome? I'm sorry???)
These lovely fellows are, of course, some of the stand-out stars of the press-tour junket. They're goofy and sweet and they play off of each other well, and I'm seeing a lot of their stuff get linked and .gifed (though less this interview? which is a DAMN SHAME).
This interview in particular has something a bit telling about it, in the line where the interviewer opens with "How was the role pitched to you," when David starts off his answer with, "well, I needed a job." Because, like, he's definitely not a complete unknown, but he's been sort of an under-the-radar, working actor up until now--in things, but mostly small-ish things where he wasn't the person who ended up promoting them, or walking away with a ton of name recognition. And he seems fairly comfortable in a lot of the promo interviews he does with Robert, but one of the things about Robert Sheehan is that he's one of those dudes who gives the impression of having been born onstage, so not only does he have more practice with this kind of interview, but he's also in his element
(ALSO: fragile china cup of a person, holy shit, thank u for this piece of character work, Robert.)
