Best New Guy in Nerdom: Jacob Anderson


If you told me some years back that one day I would be shipping a relationship between a eunuch warrior, and a beautiful language teacher, I would have probably just snorted. Castrated? Really? Not much fun there, yes? Perhaps, yet the gorgeous UK actor Jacob Anderson has me doing just that, often resulting in me having a meltdown whilst yelling at his character to, "just kiss the girl." Ok, that's a bit dramatic, I will admit, but come on! Who can resist a gorgeous man sporting leather and cutting lusty stares at the woman he literally can't have? Well, that's Anderson as the Unsullied Commander, Grey Worm, on Game of Thrones (GOT). His portrayal of a pained and tormented young man is spot on, and his simmering love for the woman (Missandei) tutoring him in the Common Tongue is sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing his skills as an actor in other fantasy films, and I even think he could be a contender for the new Spider-Man movies. Until then, I'm going to continue to watch him rock out on GOT, like the huge fan girl that I am. Yep.
