We haven't had any casting news as of late. I am just wondering if Perry being so disliked could in the long run be somewhat hurtful in the number of roles for which he is considered. I know he still has three upcoming projects and three complete and awaiting release, but there have not been even been any rumors on casting lately. Could the role, no matter how well played and recognized as such, be detrimental to his career in the long run because of the character as Alex has teased? I hope The Aftermath will cure some of the negativity of Perry, but it won't be seen by nearly as many people as BLL. He then follows that up with Vernon from Hold the Dark, and talk about a bad guy! Any thoughts?
^^ He said in an interview with "Cafe" magazine after Tod's, that he will be filming in the fall so I'm sure he has many options 
He was on the film sets almost 8 months so he needs some free time that he rather won't have or rather as much as he would have before Emmy nomination.

Gay, straight, bearding, bad acting, good acting, what we get are pictures and snippets of video. These are literally moments in time. They're all only enough for people to speculate. People have made guesses on less. They aren't really definitive of much because the bits that are put out there are selected from all the other shots or videos. Whoever is putting them out there is choosing them to send a particular message and send us talking in particular directions; to create a particular image.
Anyway, the comment about Alexa needing Alex help, meh not so much. She'd been around for a very long time and has her own name. Does it hurt to have tongues wagging? I don't think in this case it does. If she needed it she would have showed up and pulled a Beige move. She's have been to every possible thing, being a stage 5 clinger, calling the paparazzi at every turn.
I think when she talked about wanting kids and then started her own line in London, that was a defining point in their relationship, of course assuming they were in a real relationship. She picked London. He picked New York. If she had stayed in New York it might have taken longer to fizzle out or strengthened it, but I think making his home base in London was too much because his career is just now starting to take off. He's hinging on too much to up and move out of NY or LA.

I'm presuming that he's still getting plenty of scripts. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there is an attempt at typecasting him in more Perry-like roles. But I think he's shown over his last few roles that he's capable of a wide range of character types, and hopefully the script offers show that.
Considering how much time he spent in England with her in 2015, when he wasn't working much, I'm not sure her spending more time in London was that much of a problem in and of itself. I think after the first year, when the first rush of the relationship was wearing off, that there were plenty of little things that slowly but surely weighted the relationship into the 'maybe we're really not that compatible after all' category. Even if if they kept trying after the first breakup.
I agree with Buckeye that he may be getting a lot of scripts that are "Perry" like. Just like he was getting a lot of offers for character TB Eric, which he didn't take.. Being picky, he's just waiting for the right one, and I agree with Jooa, he may just want a break. He's done this before.

An oldie but goodie shared on instagram today (August 1, 2017). Not sure exactly when this was taken (it looks familiar) but when I looked earlier, I saw the same pic posted on his instagram during July? of 2015. For some reason, he has now deleted the older version of the photo.

Or we can just talk about how hot those abs are I totally respect him for his work!!
I'm teasing. I do like some of what he's done. I'm glad he's picking roles that show his range because there for a bit I wasn't sure he had it.
My only cringe thus far is when he tries to do an accent. Any actor that can't do an accent makes me cry internally when I listen to it.
Honestly, my favorite so far was The Giver. I even read the book. It's one of those rare instances when I like the movie better.
I can't remember the name of the one where he played the drunken cop, but in that role I think he needs to work on his comedic timing in film to be more natural, kind of like the way he comes across in interviews. He's really quite funny and personable in interviews.

He does an American accent quite well.
The only other accent I have heard him do is British. Have there been others? It will be interesting to see how he does with a German accent in The Aftermath.My personal opinion...his southern American accent is bad. It may have been I felt like he was overacting a little, trying too hard with the drunken cop thing?? Idk but there were moments with that character that I felt like he was exaggerating to be funny but the excess just came off more like mocking than him being an actual Southerner or funny. Just my feelings with it.
And yeah, his British accent in Tarzan was awful. Again, my opinion.
When he's not trying to have any particular dialect of American English I think it comes off with just a slight Swedish accent on some of the words but it's not bad.

Guys, just stop it. It's over. Alex & Alexa are done. Leave it and focus on the future. On his current projects, new stuff coming out and hope for the best for him (both professionally and in his PRIVATE life). Peace
It's a nice sentiment, but one that probably won't be adhered to, no matter the intent. The KB relationship got brought up for some time after it ended, and so will this one.
I liked him in War On Everyone.
His English accent on TB was atrocious, but I don't think it was that bad on Tarzan. It helped that he had time to work with a dialect coach for LOT. I didn't hear a lot of complaints from actual Brits on how bad it was. It's better than Julia Robert's attempt at an Irish accent. Or most attempts by non-Bostonians at a Boston accent.
There are times when you can hear the Swedish tinge when he speaks English but I'm so used to it now I have to be really paying attention. And there are still a lot of people who really don't hear it at all and are surprised to find he's Swedish.
Right? I brought up the Bos just yesterday...sorry 
at the same time people still bring up my exes from 100 years ago and I'm not even famous. I don't do it to bother anyone so I'm sorry if it felt like rehashing the same story all over again! I've been out of the loop for a couple of years, obviously!!
With regards to the accent, I just have a sensitive ear for that stuff so if it's off I'll notice. I don't usually mind and will brush it off but so far when he's trying an accent he seems to struggle to me. If you do accents over the course of more than one or two movies/tv shows and it's still not right, you probably won't ever be able to pull it off all the way.
There are some people though, you'd never guess! I'm always amazed when they speak in their actual accent. It's a talent for sure.
