thenameislion-dandelion: paceyoself:quasarkisses:din-djarns:heartbreaking doctor who moments ♢ vincent hearing his worthI just wondered, between you and me, in a hundred words, where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art? i d in alt text Listen! The actor who played Van Gogh did an amazing job! He rips the empathy from inside of you in this scene whether you like it or not. The genuine red faced overwhelmed tears, the fidgetty movements, the catching breaths. You get the impression that hearing this praise is hurting him in that way that it always hurts to finally get approval when you are mired in self loathing. He wants to flee! But he also can’t move because this praise is water to a man dying of thirst, and the full weight of that conflict is completely apparent on his face!There’s a lot to be said for the blocking and the camerawork and the script, but that actor is the backbone of that scene and he deserves whatever award we can throw at him. His name is Tony Curran. He played Rodney Skinner the invisible man in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, if you ever saw that, and he was also one of the Vikings in The 13th Warrior and Priest the vampire in Blade II. He has incredible range, but this might be his greatest work. -- source link
