Climbing the charts of my favorite on screen criminals. Dude is so smooth with it it's almost scary watching him in every scene he's in.
shareMah.Ali proven to be an excellent actor, but I didn't found him scary at all in LC, probably couse I saw him only as good guys before. Too bad there wasn't a chance to see a scene with both Cottonmouth and Diamondback to compare.
shareHe and the supporting cast was the main reason i kept watching the show. What a phenomenal actor!
I cant say the same for the guy that plays Luke Cage
I run an intricate criminal syndicate so show respect
Cottonmouth kept me watching. It was a struggle after he died. The energy of the whole show shifted.
shareMahershala is a name we're sure to hear a lot more of. The man has some serious chops.
I can only imagine, as an actor, how much fun it must have been for him to go from House of Cards to Nick Cage, for starters. It's not often an actor gets to play such diametrically opposed characters -- back-to-back, no less!
And he handled them both like the pro that he is. Equally convincing as a smooth, polished, duplicitous gentleman, then as a no-captives thug. Not many guys can do that so well, that's a fact.
If you're reading this ... Best wishes, Mahershala!
Watching it right now and he definitely steals the show. Makes you cheer for him even though you know he's bad.
