Started rewatching The Librarians and I forgot how great it is. I love the characters, the stories, the fun, the snark and the banter.
But as an Aussie, what I love most of all is that Ezekiel Jones gets to be Aussie. Did he need to be? No. Was it specific to his character? No. COULD he have been from anywhere? Yes. But we're just so used to seeing Aussie actors play characters who could be from anywhere made to use an accent and it's just... It's so nice to see a character just allowed to be Strayan.
Just, if characters don't have to be a specific nationality in the story, then let actors keep their native accents. It's so much more fun to watch.
#the librarians#ezekiel jones#straya#strayan things#john kim#this goes for any actors#if they don't have to be a specific nationality just let them keep their own accent#you don't have to have an involved backstory to explain why you have an Aussie or Kiwi in your movie#they can just be there#your TV show can have British or Irish or Scottish or Welsh people as well#not everyone has to have the same accent#so much more fun that way
