Anthony Hopkins
I started rewatching season 1 for the first time since it aired because I have a suspicion that it's gonna be relevant. Just finished S1E4, when Ford has lunch with Cullen. Knowing how things will turn out, his role is just so masterfully played. I think on first airing I was too distracted by all the storylines to appreciate it. But god damn.
"Tell the board the narrative will be ready."
Also, shout out to the actor who plays Old Bill. Those jerky motions showing that he's purely an early generation host is incredible.
