I was expecting to be surprised by Craig’s accent but turns out it’s even weirder to see Pope being a normal guy

Out of all the Cody men Pope is my favorite. Superb acting. His character is so flawed. Psychopath with a conscience.

[@sherryjohnson2152]

It's so weird seeing Shawn (Pope) smiling and so happy. He does such an awesome job with his characters dark scary personality. Lol, like night and day seeing him in real life.

[@bisonette5]

I'm 76. This series (have seen every episode) is so edgy, so beautifully written and acted, so visually stimulating, it keeps me young. I don't like the long breaks between seasons, but even that makes the wait edgy as well. Fargo and Animal Kingdom. Doesn't get any better than those. At least one of them continues on.

[@BourneIdentity45]

native of Australia???? he's a geordie

[@user-vg5rv5xf4u]

[@kathyvictoria6059]

The guy who plays J is Australian and than the original movie this show is based on is Australian so he could’ve just gotten mixed up

[@BourneIdentity45]

@@kathyvictoria6059 ahh that makes sense, i guess just goes to prove how much research these news people do on people sometimes before talking to them

[@henrywisdom5825]

The guy who plays Jay is Finn Cole. He's from Kingston Upon Thames which is in the UK not Australia. Barry Blackwell (Baz) is also from the UK. Although he moved to Canada at a young age. Pretty much a British cast lol.

[@scubareuben]

How anyone can mix up an Aussie and British accent is beyond me, they sound nothing alike!

[@robbdgaf1768]

The most addictive series since breaking bad! Pope is my favourite character in the series, it was surprising for me because I liked shawn hatosy from other movies.. ML from Australia!

I LOVE Shawn's side smile... such an intensely talented actor!

[@AmandaMartinez-hs8xg]

Pope is my favorite character. Shawn is an excellent actor. I loved his acting in Alpha Dog.

[@AdrianAK6]

Shawn Hatosy's character of Pope.The scariest character I've ever seen.It's hard to believe that Shawn doesn't have that in him, great actor.

[@MsFunnyfeet]

Yeah! I just discovered this. I haven’t had a tv in years obviously. But, his character reminds me of Tig from Sons of Anarchy! Both great flawed characters! And he is sooo believable in the portrayal!!! He needs an Emmy for it! It’s also so great to see someone going from child actor to adulthood and not becoming a statistic! Other ‘child actors’ could learn from him.

[@MsFunnyfeet]

Oh- and have you ever seen the long version of Justin Timberlake’s video of that song ‘What goes around’? He plays a big part in it! He was great there also. So multitalented!!!!

[@dodgedabullet670]

Both awesome actors! Shocking to hear the refined British accent when I associate So.Cal surfer speak. Hatosy is an amazing intense actor!

Omg I had no clue this dude had the UK accent. Unreal... No wonder he fit into Vikings so well. It's sad they had to make him a character who does off quickly

[@alexanderi.yudhistira7115]

After binging seasons of this show and finally hearing his British accent is mind blowing!

[@user-dq7cm6ug4h]

You can hear him slip into a British accent just ever so slightly a couple of times throughout the show. But I only notice because I know he's British. Before that I could never tell.

I met Ben Robson in real life and he is such a down to earth guy :) He doesn't look typically British like Benedict Cumberbatch, he kinda has an American face in my opinion, his American accent is even better LOL

[@cristopherzamora]

These guys are talented! Shawn Hatosy acting and now directing episodes for Animal Kingdom? That's great! This week's episode was the best one I've seen so far from the show. Also Ben Robson having a British accent and acting like an American in the show lol Didn't even know he was British until now.

Monica Jones I meant Craig not Deran

[@ariels7680]

Some of Ben's accent came out in season 1. As a native Californian [aside from seeing him in Vikings], I could tell Ben ... needed some work. Especially, the cocaine-burrito scene. But he has been REALLY working on it! :) It's so much better and well done!

[@kknight90tube]

I heard him say "so that's your ide(eer) of ideas?!" to Deran and I instantly knew lol... googled his origin and here I am... sometimes it slips haha

[@daveshadenuff187]

Best season so far!!! The season finale was really great.All great actors in my opinion,especially these two.Pope is a nut and my favorite on the show.Crag is always getting himself in a mess and i like to see what crazy problem he gets himself into and how he gets out of it lol.I am really looking forward to next season with how they ended this one.It should be really interesting what goes on next season,can't wait!!!

[@brasstacks7181]

Shawn deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Pope!!! Any actor that can relay so much information with little use of words is a brilliant actor. Also a director worth noticing. I'm still blown away at how easily Ben loses his accent for a role. Don't know much about anyone (other than Ellen Barkin's) previous work but man there is a plethora of darn fine actor's in this series! It really makes an impact. Also, Denis Leary was fantastic as Deran's dad. Added much needed comic relief and his witty and often blunt banter was sheer entertainment.

[@akgangsta75]
