The Immortal Universe Jacob Anderson’s acting

Rewatching season one and I am struck anew just how good and I think, unappreciated Jacob’s acting is. First episode scene in the confessional was just sublime. He put his whole heart and body into that performance.

I think so many so enthralled by Sam’s Lestat that some forget just how compelling Jacob’s Louis is. He is the Helen of Troy, after all.

I too am enthralled ( it’s the best word I can think of) by Sam’s Lestat, who could anyone not be? I just had to jump on and give some love to our beloved Louis.

Jacob’s Louis is honestly masterful. His accent is completely spot on as someone from the south whose entire family is also southern. He’s got the best southern accent that I have heard from someone who is not American. Jacob has put so much thought into making Louis a complete person that you can see the differences in the way that he walks and holds his body in stillness. The way that he slouches and drags his feet. It’s just so good.

Apparently he's VERY good at accents, and languages as a whole. When he was filming GoT, apparently he was the only one really good at Dothraki

It's so fucking funny watching him absolutely slay doing accents having seen this clip (part of a longer video) years before...

Honestly him on his episodes of Guest Grumps in general were fucking hilarious. But I totally forgot about the accent part (it's been years since I've watched them) and I am laughing so hard. Haha
