  1. Ничерта не понимаю, но так нравится Глисон и его шикарный голос, что и так смотреть можно..
    Но очень жаль что нет сабов где-нибудь.

  2. You know you have a great actor when you absolutely HATE him/her because that's how their character made you feel about them. Of course, acting aside, I don't hate him as a person 😆
