MANNY JACINTO As THE STRANGER / QIMIRTHE ACOLYTE | Episode 8, "The Acolyte"

She was killing Sol. She had a saber in her hand. But she didn't use it. The Acolyte 1.08 - “The Acolyte”

Honestly I've been thinking about why Qimir flashing Osha is not considered cringe/ violating/off putting by more people especially women. I haven't come up with anything other than Manny was the perfect person to play The Stranger.

Also It's not enough that the Stranger is beautiful but his seduction is more compelling than overly sexual. He steps out of the water and immediately strikes a conversation that stirs away from his nudity but you can't help but notice he is naked. He gives OSHA the illusion that she is in charge and could overpower him when we all know that's a lie.

I'm trying to imagine other famous actors pulling this off, and I'm already seeing them flexing their biceps and twitching their man boobs as how they would act this out. The stranger doesn't even need to do all that. It's beyond his face. It's his soft voice. His mannerisms. The tilt of his head.

Honestly we are SO lucky we have Manny playing this role. He does seduction so well. Not too much. Not too cringe. Just right
