Just a little thread to express his greatness!
He has a lot to do in the first four episodes and he has absolutely nailed every character.
I find myself transfixed when he is on screen and completely believe him as good Dale, damaged good Dale, Doppel-Dale, Dougie and Doppel-Dale pretending to be good Dale.
Just amazing work!
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
And yes, Kyle's just destroying every scene he's in. Probably the best thing I've ever seen him do in fact.
And did anyone else notice that Dougie has Elvis's hair?
"good Dale, damaged good Dale, Doppel-Dale, Dougie and Doppel-Dale pretending to be good Dale."
One Kyle and so many damn good characters. I love Doppel-Dale pretending to be good Dale, the way he speaks. Perfect.
Oh, man, was just coming here to post a thread about this. After watching episode 4 in particular I was just struck by how incredibly facile he is as an actor - watching damaged Dale who has the moments of almost-realization/memory going through these unfiltered ranges of emotions + the prison scene w/ Doppel-Dale acting like Good Dale? Gah - so impressive.
Side note: I know there was some silly theory floating around about how Kyle is essentially always playing the same character in everything he's in, but I've been thinking a lot about his turns in both Agents of SHIELD and How I Met Your Mother (don't judge!). In the former, he's Jekyll/Hyde and in the latter there are tons of "is he pleasant and light and innocuous" or "is he a terrifying monster" moments. A bit odd, though possibly just coincidental. . . .
Absolutely miracle of actor skills! And I'm not wondering why he was the only cast member who got the full script. So many characters to play, that must be a challenge!

I'm interested to see where Doppel-Dale's mental state is at right now. I got the same vibe from his language in the last scene that I got from Briggs after he returned from the White Lodge at the end of the original series.
The master at work:
Give this man all the awards already!
