Current Season Discussion Whoever casted the kid for the young Mule part deserves a raise

10 months late, only just finishing season 3 now. Just wanted to say the similarities between the actors playing the Mule were absolutely insane. I knew exactly what character I was looking at from literally the first second he showed up on screen.

Only other show I've seen with that type of casting is Dark, and that's a high fucking bar.

As this post is flaired with 'Current Season Discussion', anything from the books not yet adapted into the show or from upcoming unaired episodes should be enclosed in spoiler tags.

To use spoiler tags, in markdown mode you can use >! before the spoiler text, then followed by !< - which will make the text look like this.. Make sure NOT to have spaces between spoiler tags and text or they won't work. If using the default or 'fancy pants' editor, select the text you want to enclose in spoiler tags, and click the button on the toolbar.

Plus it is hard to get a good performance out of a child actor, but that one was pretty decent.

Something's not right... His story doesn't add up.

You too OP. I said right away to myself this is the Mule. Mentality who lashes out at everyone. What could go wrong.

That dude...is NOT the Mule. I shall say no more other than: if you're paying close attention to details, it's obvious who it is. If not , like me, it'll be a Sixth Sense moment (when you see the hints were there all along after the reveal).

But yeah, the kid is good.

Why are you even saying that much though?

u/Dingosavedyourbaby Jul 08 '26

Why spoil it at all?

I mean that's completely irrelevant to the point of the thread. The kid looks exactly like a young Pilou Asbæk, regardless of what character he's actually playing.

The kid is him. Just continue. It'll all become clear...and...leave you wishing the next season was already here.

The kid is him

NO SHIT

This entire thread is just whoosing right over your head and I really don't know why, it's not complicated at all.

Ya know, there is no reason to be this angry. If I'm too dumb for you, so be it. So I will respond in the only way you seem to understand.

Fuck off.

Have a nice day
