This is a clip from a YouTube upload by Mary Knasinski of Sid and Nana in Missouri in 2000. They are asked about working with Andy and Nana recounts an outtake of being unable to stop laughing to get a scene done with Andy that then irritates him because (as Sid says) for Garak he was “in a wetsuit glued to his body” and he can’t stand the heat, thus he wants to get his scenes done as soon as possible so he can get out of costume. Sid then goes on to give THE best impersonation of an angry and irritated Andy that only a best friend can do so wonderfully.

I needed a screenshot of something else, but I paused right on Julian looking scrumdiddlyumptious

Listen I doubt JRRT intended Elrond as canonically biracial (though maybe he did because I mean Elrond HALF ELVEN) but Elrond is canonically biracial.

(Also Gondor/Numenor is drawn from Byzantine/Persian/Ottoman influences they all have olive skin and are brown the end)

(I am that Tolkien Nerd who is like no actually I will pull from the text to say there should be more non white people cast in LOTR adaptations frankly)

always fun seeing sid posts going out in the wild, just saw a tag on that interview he did say that it was great to see an older (assume older means over 50) guy educating himself on gender and neurodiversity, and im like "first of all, this man is the neurodiverse, and secondly yeah, he genuinely is great on gender related stuff, he's such a fan of his trans and gender-diverse fans" and then i think about how 2020-2021 to me is defined so heavily by his chatting with all of us and creating a safe online space

anyway yeah, he is a good egg!

[Images description: Twelve pictures of Star Trek actors. The phrase "thank you for being both amazing actors and amazing people" is written across most of the images one word at a time, except for the two images in the middle. The middle images are of William Shatner, reading "not you!" and Robert Beltran, reading "or you for that matter". The actors in the other images are George Takei, René Auberjonois, DeForest Kelley, Gates McFadden, Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Patrick Stewart, Siddig El Fadil (aka Alexander Siddig), Nichelle Nichols and Leonard Nimoy. End image description.]

Non exhaustive list of course. Many more such cases, in fact feel free to add
