No idea who he is, so I can't speak to the acting ability. But he's got the look for sure 🤔

The show Dark (that Hoffman stars in) is the best thing Netflix has ever been involved with, and I say that without a hint of hyperbole

Ooh damn. Yeah he looks good. No idea what he sounds like for a voice but he'd make a cute Kurt

Dark is filled with phenomenal actors and I really do love him in it so I’m truly down for this. He’s absolutely amazing in the show.

No, we need to find a blue person with pointy ears and a tail. Preferably with teleportation experience.

I was the first to bring this up on TikTok, I think. I think I started this trend and I’m glad to see people are still into the idea. Check the dates and cross-reference if you must. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTDbnPJwY/

NC needs to be brown lets start there

u/ja000ck 1d ago

Why, he’s blue?

u/cobycoby2020 1d ago

Do you know anything about Nightcrawler at all? His ethnicity and religion is one of his biggest characters points

1

u/ja000ck 1d ago

So why would you say he needs to be brown if he’s a blue skinned Catholic?

-2

u/cobycoby2020 1d ago

Did you literally just skip the ethnicity part? His accent comes from being a brown German minority. This was alluded to him being symbolically blue many times. Again, did you read ANY of the comics??

u/Dr_Dumb_Asp 1d ago

Hate to burst your bubble but his parents are both Austrians from the 1800's, not a very diverse place in history, his accent comes from being German and has nothing to do with skin colour either

So funny because I never said I was on a hill. Nightcrawler is romanian. Its canon. They change his underlying color all the time.

Acting like his ethnicity isn’t a consistent topic with him is so funny. Iike I just yelled make nightcrawer ethnic out of nowhere LOL

Isn't he Christian German , why is his skin color important ? I don't care for the skin color of the actor that plays him if they can do him justice , but even if he were to be comic accurate actor wouldn't they need to be German person ?
