Tyler, I just saw your BTS with Sha. I will be honest with you here, and you MIGHT not like some of what I have to say, BUT ULTIMATELY, I think you will. I agree that in your first few scenes, maybe it was because you were the 'new boy' and did not want to be seen as the 'pussy boy', therefore, you were forced to bring up that wall, and that phony tough guy persona.
THEN, after relaxing a little, and letting your 'guard down', I think you were a little more like the actor you were hoping to portray? One that is a little bit bad ass but at the same time, has a romantic side if the right buttons are pushed, (also the right scene partner and personas are a match), you will do very well here, and open yourself to even MORE of a fanbase. I am not saying romantically, but just enough so that the scene has a 'plausible/reasonable' plot. This can be said with ANY OF the scenes, but something to keep in mind, in my opinion. Good luck!
