Wow the guy playing Jefferson is a terrible actor


In the scene where Stein was dying, dude was trying to make his best cry face, yet throughout the entire scene the dude couldn't get a single tear going down his cheek. It just made the entire scene and Stein's death really awkward, with him making the cry face but no tears at all.

Dude looked like some amateur student in an acting class or something.

been saying it for a while he is awful, but thankfully it seems hes gone even if its not permanent.

Yeah i've never really watched Legends of Tomorrow, just tuned in for Crises on Earth X, but man his terrible acting immediately stood out to me. Every scene where he had to show emotion was terrible, from him telling Stein's family, to him speaking at the funeral, the guy can't even make himself cry at all. And his delivery is awful, you could find better actors in a beginners acting class, no idea how he got hired.

I thought the same thing.Stein was good character.His death should have been a sad scene but the bad acting on Jeffersons part just killed it for me.

Yeah his acting ruined Stein's death scene, i don't get how the director looked at that performance and said it was good and moved on. They could have at least added some CGI tears on him or something to compensate for his bad acting.
