Sooo…Austin is an introvert. ❤This confirmed it. I’m not too surprised because introverts make the best performers. So observant and aware of their surroundings.

[@K.C-2049]

it amazes me how many great actors do seem to be introverted, but then I'm horribly introverted and always thought acting seemed like a really interesting job/activity.

[@RedKingdom28]

@@K.C-2049i just couldn’t afford to going to an acting school

[@SliderFury1]

Facts, it must be really difficult initially for an introvert to get into acting. But, I imagine once they figure things out, they can act as if no one is watching, which makes them amazing.

[@bluemeaford]

@@SliderFury1 I have notice that introverts seem to find it easier to step into a totally different character than themselves, as they are internally focused. And it’s a way to escape. Than extroverts. But that’s just what I’ve noticed in my limited theatre experience.

[@academicstewart]

@Fury1 I study acting and consider myself to be an introvert for sure. I didn't find it difficult to get into because it's sort of like my passion for it would override my tendency to be introverted. But what is difficult for me is if I book a show and it goes on for months ... towards the end of the show I start to feel burned out from seeing the cast every single day and that's where my introversion takes hold.

[@martinbalaam1470]

Its interesting how the kittens are mirroring the energy and persona of the person. The kitten near to Austin is calm and still. The kittens around florence are skatty, playful, and chaotic :) The other thing i noticed about the dune cast (and youll see it here with austin) is when each cast member answers a question for the interviewer, the cast members react as if the answer or comment is 'super' interesting. Here, florence says 'someone got me an apron' and Austin replied 'wooow', but florence hadn't even got to the point of the story yet. The level of support and compliments the cast give eachother is impressive but occasionally over-done. They all seem great though. Tim, Zendaya, Flo, Austin, Javier, Josh, etc. This interview with just Flo and Austin was the most casual i have seen.

[@johnjungkook2721]

it's quite cynical to assume that when someone says "wow" they can't possibly mean it, even casually, for something small. They are in fact PROMOTING each other and the film they're all in. I know they're saying "wow" more than they need to. But to assume it's fake is cynical and a bit sad for you.
