A really good actor makes writing more efficient He didn't need to say much for you to know the whole story of Kurt Wagner's life just from his performance You knew it without the need for any cheesy flashbacks going into it

The traumatic childhood where he was shunned for his appearance, his turn to religion to deal with his self-loathing over looking like the Devil Ironically embracing the life of a sideshow freak where for the first time he got paid and got applause
Show this thread -
The sheer joy with which he says "The Incredible Nightcrawler!", like that was the time in his life when he took the "freak" thing and really owned it, he was proud of how good at it he was and how many tickets he sold
Show this thread -
The fucked up "One for every sin" convo with his ritualistic self-harm, the childhood trauma he never shook And the way this scene tells us how *lonely* his life was (as awful as those scars are, for someone his age this is actually a pretty small number of sins)

Part of me is sad he couldn't face going through the make-up routine again so he didn't come back. And another part of me is glad he dodged the bullet.

I feel like you told him you were gonna cg it onto his face he’s come back. Yeah, he gettin’ on, but he’s in good shape.

I don't know if this ruins it or adds to it, but I got drunk with him and his partner once and the partner told me that he had never read a comic before auditioning and had no idea who Nightcrawler was.

The partner (who is a HUGE comics fan) said that it was the most frustrating moment in their relationship, especially when Alan asked, in all seriousness, 'Nightcrawler's the green one, right?'
