I think Robert can play as Capt Jack Sparrow

[@jizellevillanueva40]

Same 😢

[@MJAYMONONOKE]

If they ever do a prequel for PotC, yes pleassseee!

[@heavenlue9864]

omg yes i would love that

[@justanotherpat]

yes!

[@maureenlogan624]

Oh that would be awesome! Would love that!

[@katelynvictorino8364]

david and robert are so fricking ATTRACTIVE

Yes they are, yes they are

[@morgobae]

Ben is so underrated like where the hell is ben... you know it’s all good season two is coming and i’m getting my pop corn ready

[@TheodoraHex]

right I was looking for an interview with him and there are none. tho he was one of my fav characters, next to Klaus and Allison. but I like 5 and cha cha a lot to.

[@linc3275]

MT A yeah pretty much, i think they wanted to keep him a secret hence to why the actual actor of ben was revealed only later on which means he‘s missing in most of the interviews

[@maxie0669]

Apprently the actors that play Ben signed huge secret documents involving Ben . Which means they have huge plans for him.

[@Laylakia_]

and FIVE!!!

[@Animefreak242]

Poor baby is the Vanya of the interview process

[@katiequinn2012]

I like the guy who plays Klaus he’s cool. He does an awesome American accent, had no idea he’s actually Irish!

[@selma3784]

You should watch Misfits. He's on that too. Great show in general

If you didn’t know then you certainly need to check out a show called the misfits.

[@tierschutzjetzt]

@@twdjt6245 aww Misfits. Will definitely have to rewatch that sometime. I loved it so much😍

[@essymuffins]

I love the bromance between David and Robert. This chemistry translates into the on-screen dynamic relationship between Diego and Klaus. YOu can actually tell they're pretty close. They have fair amount of screen time together. I look forward to more Diego and Klaus scenes in Season 2.

[@d_a_n_a.]

essymuffins yes!! I just love their relationship in the show it’s just a cute and supportive sibling relationship

[@dblshotz75]

Yeah I really like Todd Diego wood look out for Klaus when you want a thot it would be like that. I liked how you was kind of annoyed with his drug problems and unreliability but as the season went on he started to trust Klaus more and more and really had his back.

[@boob8614]

Chemistry Chemical My Chemical Romance Gerard Way Inventor of The Umbrella Academy It all adds up

[@HickoryDickory86]

I love Robert and David's chemistry, and I so hope we get more Klaus and Diego bonding time in season 2! Even in the very first episode, you can see that Diego actually loves having Klaus around again. Like when he tried to leave the mansion alone and Klaus jumps into his backseat unexpectedly. A big smile instantly comes onto Diego's face. This, plus how he smiles and starts dancing like everyone else when he hears "I Think We're Alone Now" blaring from Luther's room, shows that Diego is so happy to have his family back together. Even _if_ he would never admit that to anyone. He's just a big ol' teddy bear with a "tough guy" exterior.

[@HickoryDickory86]

We can't overlook how he seems to be the only one who genuinely loves Grace ("Mom"), and tries his best to look after her and protect her. And when he and Klaus find Five passed out drunk and get him back to the mansion, he notes how adorable Five is when he's sleeping. ........ I love Diego. >_>

[@user-lf2yk2yw5o]

So true!! The scene at the veterans bar/in the car also really shows how much Diego loves his brother... He tries to be tough but is honestly such a sweetheart

[@JennaAlli379]

@@user-lf2yk2yw5o While his tough guy act sometimes dismisses other people, he still keeps in mind what his siblings say...like what 5 said to him about Hazel and Cha-cha.

[@biazacha]

@@HickoryDickory86 and even on his own tough way he was the first to show concern for Vanya's safety and he and Klaus instantly were against lock her up. They are the best siblings.
