the THING about a Paul Gross character is that, yes they may be emotionally repressed, but they're emotionally repressed in a way where they put everything before themselves and believe everyone else deserves nice things except for him (whether it be because of flagellation, duty, passion, idealism...) so he's playing some version of a beautiful, soft, and capable man who will do anything for the people around him while undergoing some version of The Horrors that he Will Not Talk About Unless Sufficiently Tortured
peak template honestly
#paul gross#not all of his roles are Sweet necessarily#geoffrey tennant wouldnt be called Sweet#but he is genuinely trying to be good to People#he is abrasive but not if one looks at his interactions with people who need help#he will always put them first above himself and will think removing himself is the way to solve conflict#because He's always the problem (he really really isn't -- sometimes he is one half of the problem/two to tango/etc)#(but he is never The problem)#(actually i take it back geoffrey tennant IS sweet just in a raccoon sort of way)#geoffrey tennant is not as softly spoken as many of his other characters shall we say#that's why one may not immediately notice the Sweetness
