That was cute. Funny to watch him go from super-serious to gleaming-grinny in such an instant. Reminds me a little of the Charlie Chaplin scene in "Another Life"..................
The signs of a very good actor. I think Ioan is very aware of how he looks at certain angles etc. From the clips we've seen behind the scenes and the antimated vocal things, Ioan responds really well to direction, changing up what he's doing, which is probably why they like him. Not all actors do. many act just on instinct. I think Ioan has both instinct and adapts to direction well.
To my way of thinking that's a mark of a true "pro".
