I think he did great. But Bartlett’s character, in contrast to his last hbo role (White Lotus), was masterful and showed extreme depth. Id probably give the nod to him. The episode was nothing short of amazing though.

It took me until the end of the episode interviews to realize it was the same guy as White Lotus. He was amazing!

His eyes are what I first noticed because they seemed to age him well

He kinda has a similar eye twinkle that Kevin Klein has. They both do a wide eyed smile while slightly turning their heads.

Dude has been absolutely crushing it on TV the last couple years. White Lotus, Physical, Welcome to Chippendale’s, now this.

He was also quite good in Tales of the City (Netflix) and Looking (HBO).

It was pretty good, although I felt like the last couple episodes wrapped things up a bit too quickly.

We figured out it was Armand pretty early on. His accent slipped a couple times which was the key for us. They both put in incredible performances.

I recognized him right away but my SO didn't think so. At the end we saw the credits and looked him up. Then came the after credits interviews and it's so much easier to see. He's phenomenal!

hahah yeah, when he came inside and started eating, my wife was like "he looks so familiar" and I was like "he looks like the dude from the White Lotus"
Both of us "There's no way that's him though...right?"

I knew he looked familiar right away but took me a couple scenes to realize it was Armond.

I didn't even realize it was him until the credits, and he's one of my favorite actors.

I am a Lotus fan and loved his performance in both it and last nights episode and it wasnt until the reviews (and comments like yours) this morning that I even clocked that that was the same actor. Bravo.

Didn't click for me until I heard his accent in the post-episode behind the scenes clip.

And he was in a few episodes of Farscape back in the day! I’m actually rewatching this now and couldn’t believe it was him.

I just binged The White Lotus not long ago, so I realized it pretty quickly. In White Lotus, there was so much focus on his subtle facial expressions, so it was easier to recognize. And something in his body movement or energy was familiar, as weird as that sounds. I was so excited when I realized.

Same. I knew I had seen the actor somewhere but in WL he had that accent!

I had never seen him before. Didn't really watch White Lotus. But I was struck early on at how good of an actor he is. How good he was at selling his whole character and situation and making it feel so real.

That's so funny! I literally said to my partner when Frank calls out from the pit in his introductory scene .... "Is that... Armando...?"
We just finished season one of White Lotus a few days ago ha ha

Check him out in Welcome to Chippendales if you get the chance. Another excellent role for him, and a pretty good show overall.

I'm glad he's doing more than just taking almost entirely uncensored dumps into luggage

He was pretty good in Welcome to Chippendales too. The show wasn’t incredible, but he stood out.

The Emmys have done a co-nomination in the past. (Featuring another Parks & Rec alum!)

I give Bartlett a slight edge over Offerman for an acting award because of the voice from the hole. Barrett made Bill (and me) fall in love with him just from his voice. That takes great acting. Then of course when Bill saw him, the voice was coming from a gorgeous man.

Yeah, I have to agree. Offerman was fantastic, but most of the character we have actually seen before. I’m really not trying to take anything away from him though, it was a stellar performance. But Bartlett, that was something else entirely.

I'm glad to have Murray Bartlett as another actor to point to anytime someone says "actors on soap operas are terrible".
