OK, this thing's really fucking cooking now. This dude is like adding an instant +10 charisma/intrigue to your show through casting alone.

edit: also please go watch Emily the Criminal right now.

He’s probably gonna kill it in the show, but I Hope they subvert expectations and not have him be a criminal/gang member/dirty cop. Feel like that is almost his entire filmography at this point

I loved him in Sons, but his character really had a bad arc. Glad to see him again.

He has slowly turned into one of my favorite actors. Looking forward to seeing him in this one.

remember in SOA when they found out he had a black dad and spent a lot of time debating whether to kick him out because of it? Lol, that show was too funny at times

His arc in season 2 of Luke Cage was so unexpected and great

Actually he was the one that was worried about it because of some old rule within the club that said black people couldn't join.

In the end noone actually cared about it, but it was just one of the things the cops were using to manipulate him.

I think idk I haven't seen it in awhile.

I guess I always took that as, since he was already part of the club they werent looking for reasons to kick him out. Even if they did find out his dad was black I feel like they would have looked the other way. Especially since I dont think most of them were nearly as racist as that rule was.

Is it me or does he look like a skinnier Adam Sandler? The eyes.

This is in the same universe as March of the Penguins?

The cast for this is getting stacked! Loved this guy in Luke Cage. He can be a total douche in the most charming way possible.

I’d argue the opposite. This guy is your kind of d-list star who people will know but his credits are pretty rough. Emily the criminal was good but it had nothing to do with him.

This was my first and only introduction to him and I thought he was the lamest thing I've ever seen in television. I'm willing to chalk it up to bad writing, but what else has he been in that might change my mind?

Theo Rossi was rumoured to be cast as Bane in The Batman a couple of years ago. Would be interesting if he actually is Bane in the show.

Can we get Benedict Cumberbatch to say the title every time a bit differently?

Wasn't it Potter who used the information to force him to be an informant? The group didn't find out for a while and it was until Chibs found out that he was like, 'Really? That's not a big deal but if you ratted we'd have to kill you.'

I can’t stand this guy . Maybe that means he’s good at his job

Go , Theo, go, Theo, Go! This series is looking better & better!

RealMayKing t1_jcke15y wrote

You are correct. I just recently watched this and no one actually cared about his dad, the cops just spun his head. When chibs tells jax the cops were using juice cus his dad was black, jax says “it’s about time we change some bylaws.” They are all kinda dumbfounded that’s why he would turn on the club.

I really liked him in SOA. But I’m a little surprised that the comments here are so positive for “Shades” in “Luke Cage”. It’s hard sometimes to separate bad writing from bad (over)acting, but that was pretty rough to watch.

He’s good in every show I see him in

I'm honestly surprised he just wasn't automatically added to [insert said series about current-ish gangsters] TV show from the get go.
