Shōgun's Cosmo Jarvis on preparing for his role

#Shorts #Shogun

[@PratikParija]

Love how his voice in the show suits his character.

[@lisasharf1442]

He sounds like Richard Burton.

[@ShadyCat1]

he is crazy great with changing voices to suit his characters. Barney in Peaky Blinders sounds nothing like John Blackthorne

Sounds like Richard Burton delivered by Tom Hardy.

[@MrTeppyboy]

Wow he sounds different here. I didn't realize he used a different, deeper voice for the character in the show.

[@DC05570]

Same thing Richard Chamberlain did in the 1980 Shogun mini-series.

[@johncharlton199]

Cosmo Jarvis is a rising star, for sure! He's a very intense, articulate actor. Can't wait to see where his career goes!

[@darkknightniner9862]

Yep! Reminds me in both looks and acting style, as Tom Hardy.

[@rosbin56]

I like him in peaky blinders

[@preachercaine]

He was a better musician

[@subutaynoyan5372]

His style is more suitable for plays, than screen.

[@darkknightniner9862]

@subutaynoyan5372 Nope. Seen him in Shogun and 1 movie so far and he's by far the best actor in both of them, not even close.

[@sloideh]

man that episode 5 was SOMETHING. the tension during that dinner scene was amazing

[@jonbaxter2254]

Pick a post...

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

His voice on shogun alone is pretty authentic, I picture a salty sea dog when I hear that voice….ooh arrr me hearties

[@subutaynoyan5372]

He has nothing to do with the stereotypical pirate speech. Just an articulate, but vulgar Londoner

[@dinarboyo3658]

The "I came here to USE YOU" and "my war... small war" gave me goosebumps. I didn't expect to be this attached to the character. Amazing job.

[@SocialAlexNYC]

yes, it was poignant because the entire show was about people using other people, so he was yelling "I played your game, I used you, I know what your society is about!" (to Toranaga) At first I didn't understand the scene, now I do

[@Lazer_puppy]

Cosmo Jarvis has to be the most British name I have ever seen

[@eddiel7635]

Jarvis is Anglo Norman so that’s fair but Cosmo is actually an Italian or Spanish name.

[@Sammj28]

And he’s from New Jersey

[@DragonZord979]

He sounds so different in real life than in the show and that's just a testament to how good of an actor he is

[@MrGeewiz1]

Cosmo Jarvis played in a band at my dads house about 15yrs ago. He’s from Devon and played at my Dads in Modbury, Devon.

[@joe.5103]

He does an awesome job. He brings the character to life.

[@KenjiMapes]

Loving the show & Cosmo & all the actors are crushing it. So good. How awesome is Cosmo’s voice for Blackthorne - perfect for a salty sailor I must say…

[@mickeymassage]

At first I thought he was very much like Tom Hardy. But Coamo brings his own qualities to the character. I also see a bit of Michael Palin in him when he had to cause a hysterical diversion to protect Toramaga in the royal palanquin. Brilliant and captivating actor for sure

[@furdiebant]

Good Richard Burton impression

[@KenjiMapes]

@@furdiebant that’s a pretty spot on comp

[@phatalphd5402]

Unbelievable performance. What an actor. He CRUSHED it on Peaky Blinders. And Shogun in a masterpiece. The sky's the limit for this man!❤

[@ppsac1]

That was not him in Peaky Blinders… it was Tom Hardy… They do kind of look alike though

[@carpeimodiem]

@@ppsac1 lmfao no dude... Not him. This actor played the Soldier with severe PTSD that Tom Shelby has released from the institute so he can be a sniper again. And help him with his enemies. He's only in the show for 3 episodes. Google, my guy...

[@myst1049]

Barney is cosmo jarvis no way

[@carpeimodiem]

@@myst1049 I'm pretty good with faces. After the first episode of Shogun I thought "this dude is amazing. I don't remember seeing him in anything." But I also had this strange feeling like he did something small but memorable. So I went to IMDB. And it said "Peaky Blinders. 3 episodes." And IMMEDIATELY I thought "3 episodes??? No way... Could it be?!!" And it was. If COURSE it was. Where the f🤬k have they been hiding this man?! Not anymore... Anjin san has a bright future in whatever he wants.

[@KateSannicksLerner]

I watched the original Shōgun as a teenager, and I have to say that Cosmo Jarvis added dimension to John Blackthorne. He gave Blackthorne a more appropriate naivete at how he was being used in Toranaga's planning that wasn't present in Richard Chamberlain's Blackthorne. Well done, Mr. Jarvis.

[@bravewryy6781]

Bro cooking as blackthorne binged all 4 eps in one go now have to wait a week for peak love these type of shows when they're done well like warrior love that show

I'm a lifetime fan now. Cosmo among many other actors from Shogun majorly succeeded in putting a massive smile on my face every time they were on screen. The actor for Yabushige also absolutely killed it.

[@TheWefikus]

Cosmo has done one heck of a job and didn’t get lost among the incredible star power of the cast. Well done 👍

[@maxthomas498]

He was fantastic. It's probably the best (mostly) foreign cast on an American TV show OF ALL TIME.

Man i forgot Kashigi just beheads that guy for holding them up. Savage scene

[@awoods23234]

In the book the guy was disrespectful to Omi, as in he didn't bow properly to him and Omi immediately cuts his head off. He also proceeds to chop him into pieces in the book.. The book was very detailed in brutal death scenes.

[@TheEternalOuroboros]

@@awoods23234 Presumably that is in the first book?

did they give him a wig or something? looks totally different

[@wolvves4293]

For anyone curious, he also played Barney in Peaky Blinders.

[@TheAxon8888]

Yeah, he used the book well. For example: The way he walks, with the swagger of a sailor, comes directly from a description in the Original. He did well.

Might be humility or anxiety. His first big break after all

[@hooch87]

His voice in the show was pure mimicry of Richard Burton. Once you see it its hard to concentrate tbh.

[@mrbluebell2735]

I agree that he's certainly expressed the inner monologue the character had in violent and alien situations. It's a challenge to pull of a natural oh s#** expression when thrown into a maelstrom of politics, war and assasins. Still has to navigate romance on top of the chaos. Expertly done.

[@jamesbaka1206]

When I first saw him in episode one, I actually had to do a double take and make sure it wasn’t Tom Hardy because he sounded like him and acted like him so much lol. Amazing actor though, he is the reason I’m so captivated by the show to be honest.

[@MrVadallat]

Iam at ep 6, and i loved every minute of this show so far

[@cristianmolina6889]

In the first chapter he looked very reminiscent to Rick Grimes I think producers made it on purpose because it was too evident.

[@wesleypage]

Wow! Actually visiting the source material to understand it and make the show better. Can we please have this guy make every movie in Hollywood moving forward? It almost seems like a sense of pride for directors to NOT visit ANNNNY of the book/comic book/video game lore and then feel qualified to make a movie about it.
