Connor’s Acting Should Be Recognized in S2
I was reheating Ep. 5 and omg, the scene between Ilya and Alexei at their father’s wake and the monologue in Russian in the tunnel were a brilliant tour de force by Connor. (He was excellent for the whole series, but those 2 scenes really stand out).
Thinking ahead to Season 2, and having read The Long Game, he is going to have to bring so many powerful emotions to life, and in Russian no less!
Surely there’s something we can do to lobby either The Canadian Screen Awards (CSAs) or The Emmy’s or the effing government of Canada to grant him citizenship - something - anything - to award him for his brilliance? I loved that Hudson symbolically shared his award with Connor, but what I wouldn’t give to see him win something for his portrayal of Ilya. Thoughts?
