some of his best acting comes out around this emotion, like an unfrustrated mean smugness

THE ALIENIST, S02xE06 (2020)
Daniel Brühl as Dr. Laszlo Kreizler
"Sara, if you have no prior engagements, a spare pair of hands would be very much appreciated."
A scene from The Alienist that lives rent-free in my mind: John casually (for the time period) asking Sara if she can help him go through the New York Times archives after they finally hooked up and Laszlo, picking up on the weird vibe, surreptitiously but carefully watching it all play out.
Always cracks me up, how he looks up again, like he can't help himself. Like, you know, all of us. It's a small moment but it endeared me to the good doctor even more.
It's in throwaway scenes like these that Daniel's talent as an actor is evident: he's reacting rather comically but still with enough subtlety to be true to his character. This is also why I want him to do more comedies. A character being funny with no idea he's being funny is the funniest thing ever.
