Damon Herriman was spectacular !!


What a great performance

reply

Agree. Going to fallow this guy from now, top work. I only wish he had a bigger part in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.

reply

Yes, shame it was such a small part, he was really great.

Check him out in the series Justified as Dewey Crowe.....one would forget he is from Australia....

Best Manson performance by far. Even better than Steve Railsback in the 1976 Helter Skelter miniseries. He made Jeremy Davies in the 2004 version look like an SNL skit. If only someone would remake the Manson story starring Herriman. He deserves a full film devoted to his portrayal.

reply

That would be great, he was awesome. And physically really looked like Manson.

There is a new movie about Manson that came out last year called Charlie Says starring Matt Smith (from Doctor Who) who is 182 cm tall.

I haven’t seen his portrayal, maybe he was good in it (although the movie is rated 5.7 on IMDb), but at first glance he seems miscast.

reply

He was great here as Manson but Railsback was amazing and the best Manson.

reply

Agreed!
Best Manson performance to date

This is how good he is...I am familiar with his acting from Justified, Once Upon a Time and from Secret City (as a man transitioning to a woman!) and while watching Mindhunter, I missed it was him.......I have to go back and watch that sequence again...

reply

Easy to miss - he was wearing a prosthetic face, wig, beard... But yes, a killer performance.
