Hettienne Park acting appreciation - Amuse-Bouche
I love this whole Beverly/Will scene so much, but I especially adore this section of it, and watching how Hugh and Hettienne play it and play off each other.
Beverly: I suggested one of those clackin’ swingin’ ball things.
We see Beverly with a little smirk, she’s enjoying herself.
Then Will stops and thinks, and we see Beverly look a little surprised, her eyebrow raises, this is not what she was expecting.
Will turns to her, and Beverly’s face shows concern. Has she misread Will, misread the situation?
Will: That would have been funny.
Beverly gives a genuine smile. She’s read Will right, they understand each other.
This exchange is what sets up the rest of the scene and establishes their camaraderie and friendship. This is why she’s comfortable giving him a shooting lesson, is comfortable touching him, they’ve established this rapport.
And Hettienne can convey all this despite having protective eyewear on and earphones around her neck.
