I don’t even necessarily think he’s a great actor but he’s so charasmatic and into his role it just makes it fun to watch, even if the dialogue is pretty bad.
I’m a straight white guy and I’m really enjoying this show due to him...it’s hard to explain, lol.
Your instinct is correct. The actor’s previous role was Prince Charming on Once Upon a Time. He played the role for 7 years.
And somehow managed to keep it mildly interesting despite how dull Prince Charming was.
best part of Charming was fighting three dudes with a sword while holding a newborn baby
Where can we see this scene?
pilot episode. Netflix
Makes it even funnier because that makes this is the second time around his character is the victim of something magical/supernatural making him younger/older than those he loves.
Great point! His grandchild in Once Upon a Time is like a pre-teen, and his daughter is same age as him.
I'm going to put this on my "Amusing Typecast" list, right alongside Jennifer Morrison and her characters marrying captains.
Jennifer Morrison and her characters marrying captains.
Now that you mention it.....
What else is on this list?
Edward Norton seems to enjoy playing characters with violent or angry "split personalities"
Edward Norton
... oooh what else?
In the first few episodes I would still refer to him as David when I couldn’t remember Bens name
Honestly, I like the energy of the whole cast. They all seem really excited to be on the show at least judging from their social media accounts.
I'm a lesbian and lord help me I only started watching this show for him. I agree he is super charismatic and I loved him on Once Upon a Time too. I'm attracted to him in a very non-sexual way but it's attraction nonetheless.
He was my favorite Fandral the Dashing in the Thor movies.
Sacrilege... He only got it because Chuck was busy.
I totally get it. The actor who plays Vance does this to me too. He just has a nice presence on screen and his voice helps make it fun to watch. The way he delivers lines coupled with his voice just makes it more entertaining. No homo.
I agree. His delivery (and maybe voice too) reminds me of Andre Braugher.
I love all the actors for this show. For some shows you get annoyed because some of them just aren’t believable with some situations. But here even with the 5 year airplane thing being so crazy they’re all doing such a good job!
Does anyone think he reminds you of Nate Archibald’s dad on Gossip Girl??
not in the least
Not to mention that Josh Dallas also played Fandral in the Thor movies. He was ok in there’s
He only got that role because Zach was busy with Chuck.
Chris Hardwick
I might be drunk or it might be because I've watched almost the entire series of The 4400 since the last episode of Manifest but I can't tell Ben from Tom Baldwin in my memory anymore :O
Easy only because Ben was one of the missing while Tom was not.
Nah it's actually funny. I can't remember what Ben looks like without effort. Tom I can. This show simply doesn't leave a mark. It's fluff, but that's why we love it.
