I love this theory! I just know that many otherwise excellent American actors feel like they’re cosplaying when portraying a person from the South, then someone like Damon Herriman shows up and *occupies* the character. There’s got to be a reason, and yours is a great one.

There’s this whole other conversation about how Australian actors might be better at playing folks from the South than their American counterparts (see also Kwanten, Ryan). As someone who has spent abundant time around folks like that fam, he’s dead on.
