Inevitably, when you watch a lot of an actor’s work (especially in a short period) you start to notice their tics, and when I saw this gif, I realized this feels like one of James’s: he looks at the person he’s talking to, breaks eye contact with them, looks off toward something else camera-wards and tilts his head toward the person he’s in conversation with while he continues talking. It’s an interesting way of opening up the conversation to the camera, and it makes his character seem curious and engaged in the world.

I’m sure I’ve seen him do it across several different projects. Now I’m wondering which characters they were… Brian obviously, and I think Leto also. Not sure about others. I guess I’ll just have to rewatch all his movies again to see. 😀
