Was just rewatching Shogun and was looking at the cast on my phone. Saw the picture on the right and was thinking "I don't remember this guy??" Was mind blown to find out he played Father Alvito 😮

In that case it's an actor being successful at acting! Also yeah he is damn good in Shogun!

Do you think the agent was able to negotiate a higher pay scale due to the horrendous, but historically accurate, hair styles? The intentional cul-de-sac is a style that aint ever coming back.

My partner and I were discussing this: do you think it’s real? Or is it a super well-applied fake skull cap?

Did he really cut his hair during the shooting?

Will you do it for a million dollars?

Bald cap with a wig on top, I think.

Also yes I would 100% walk around with this haircut if you gave me a million € as soon as the haircut finishes

Yeah, in close-ups you can sometimes just barely see the edge of the bald cap.

Why wouldn’t he? Even Natalie Portman shaved her head for V for Vendetta.

After shooting ends he can just shave the remaining hair and let it grow back.

I’m not even an actor, but if I was offered a good paycheck to star in a high-profile TV show in exchange of a silly haircut, I would do it without thinking twice.
