Great video. From what little I've read about Acolyte, it seems like this guy had the most potential of all the characters besides Indara. I read this actor learned English within a few months just for this role. Too bad it's looking like they wasted his character, after all the dedication for the role. Also, I'm sure plenty of customizers will make hooded robes.
