For the most part he did a good job; he had a lot of screen time, hopefully that gets him some attention for more Hollywood roles, if that's what he wants.
I agree with "for the most part".
He sure did a good job in general but I've seen him better and I think it's the language.
I do understand the choice of having everyone speak English, but I can imagine this is not easy for actors who are not used to that.
Sometimes it sounded a little unnatural (not only Max but also some of the other actors), which is logical. Besides concentrating on the acting they also have to concentrate on a language they are not used to. And of course everyone wants to sound as good as possible.
I tried today, speaking English aloud. Man, that was weird
. I definately don't sound better than Max and I felt kind of embarrassed.
I don't know if this will lead to Hollywood roles. The actors from Lost were popular during the show but didn't become "big stars".
But whatever happens, I think this whole Sense8 thing must have been a great experience for him and a big step forward.
And he gets lots of attention and new fans now.
But I think he needs to get over his internet aversion now and pay more attention to his fans (like twitter). The other actors do that too and I think it's part of the game.
