62 | !!Tropes associated with Pascal Langdale and his roles: |
63 | * ActorAllusion: One episode of ''[[{{Series/Bitten}} Bitten]]'' shows Karl holding an [[VideoGame/HeavyRain origami figure]], which Pascal made himself. He later said in a tweet that it was an intentional nod. |
64 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: In [[https://youtu.be/D6yAI-HrY-A this interview]], he tells a story of how he deduced that someone had recently had surgery for a back injury by mimicking the way they walked and feeling where his body was compensating for the injury. |
65 | * BilingualBonus: |
66 | ** He speaks untranslated French in ''Spooks''. |
67 | ** His given last name, Langlois, is French for "the English." |
68 | * ChronicallyKilledActor: His death scenes include ''Steel Trap'', ''[[{{Series/Sharpe}} Sharpe's Peril]]'', ''{{Series/Spooks}}'', ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', ''Murdoch Mysteries'', ''[[{{Series/Bitten}} Bitten]]'' (notable for being a case of DeathByAdaptation), ''VideoGame/WatchDogsLegion'', and ''See For Me''. |
69 | * DeadpanSnarker: Many of his roles tend to be this. |
70 | * GenderBlenderName: His character on ''Cards on the Table'' is a man nicknamed Shirley. |
71 | * ManOfAThousandFaces: He has been nicknamed "The Swiss Army Knife" of motion capture acting. The characters he plays are so distinct from each other that it can sometimes be hard to tell that they’re all played by the same person. |
72 | * StageName: He changed his last name from Langlois to the more English-sounding Langdale because casting directors kept assuming he was French. Ironically, he still got called in for a lot of French casting after the name change. |
