My son made a decision for the Lord today! Come on somebody! Angels rejoice!
So true.
Praise the Lord! Thank you, Jesus. How exciting for him.
Praise God!!! ✝️💜
Praise the Lord 🙏😊
That's so exciting!!! Praise Jesus!
I couldn't imagine Quintus being played by anyone else. Between the voice, the look, and the absolute military control....absolutely brilliant!!
AGREE!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely Perfect. His character as written is amazing- as performed it is Genius.
100% he plays him sooooooooo well. Fantastic actor as well. I love the scenes he’s in.
Yes oh my amazingly
Brandon's voice is distinct and added to the great way he played the character.
Brandon's voice reminds me of the voice of the actor who played "Q" in Star Trek Next Generation, i.e, John de Lancie.
dude I was thinkin the same! His voice so deep and rich!
I totally agree with you. Awesome acting. 🙂🙂
His look too
I'm getting all sorts of deja vu vibes. Where have I seen this before? Tick, tick, tick, tick, *DING* ! Aha! *John de Lancie* !! The Q Continuum has transported back to the first century AD!
You made your character a "bad guy" we can appreciate. He has depth, and personality! Bravo 👏🏻
I wonder if Quintus will eventually be the Roman centurion who goes through with sacrificing the Son of God and then declaring “Surely he was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54)
@joshua : I think that's going to be Gaius not Quintus. Quintus is already more than a centurion as he is the praetor of Capernaum
"bad guys"are human too 💕
Gaius has already been addressed as Centurion by Quintus
Quintas is a bad guy I love. His acting is so authentic. He scares me. His cruelty is smoldering under the surface waiting to explode any time. All the actors are awesome in their roles.
Brandon/Quintus is a perfect example of how the casting of this show is beyond incredible.
To The Chosen Team. Thank you for showing us a Jesus we can relate to. I often heard that Jesus became man or took on the. Image of mean yest he was God. This makes me draw closer to Jesus to see his love and experience him relationally. Criticism... This would not have the impact God intended it to have without criticism. That was the reality that Jesus experienced as a man. Thank you for allowing your emptied self for the manifestation of the Lord in our lives. We learn a whole lot more from your personal experiences as you depict heavenly events and personalities. Thank Thank you thank you. Criticism let it come. It makes you real and strong.
TDYEarth - Didn’t recognize this actor Brandon till hearing his distinctive voice that he plays Quintus! He looks younger with a clean face too!
A more sneering nasty evil vile character has ever been crafted
I love how they kept his normal modern accent! The casting is pure genius. It's actually humerous to me that they chose a snide American accent for the evil character 😂😂
Good observation @Becky - Has Dallas talked about the accents of characters in videos/interviews so far?
I love that Quintus really doesn't want to like Matthew but he can't help it. When he says to Matthew, "You're so wonderfully......odd," it just cracks me up. I've watched that scene several times. Terrific portrayal, Brandon. Great acting.
😂yes
I KNOW THAT WAS SO GOOD! MY FAVORITE PART
Quintus is so incredibly fun to watch.
He gets relief from his mundane role keeping order and imposing Roman will by enjoying Matthew's unique personality and abilities.
As Quintus Brandon's reactions are gold!
At my age, there is some question whether I will be alive when the last 2 seasons are aired. But then, I already know the ending! I have enjoyed all that I have viewed.
I 🙏that you will be!
@@mildredmarbach5937 well if you’re not here to see it you will be seeing and meeting the characters in person or the spirit. Either way win win
Maggie with all that is going on in the world, we ALL may be meeting the REAL JESUS in person before this series is over. We know the ending...🙏❤️🤗
I am 79 at present. I plan to see as much as will exist at the return of our Lord. I really think this is great and is a great tool for us witness with. Whatever happens with this, I've read the back of the book and WE WIN. If we stay here WE WIN. If the Lord calls you and I home before "The Chosen" ends, WE WIN. It is a WIN, WIN, situation. Only those that know the Lord can say that.
GOD BLESS YOU, AND SEE YOU THERE.
Maggie, you sound young and vibrant to me. Praying that you see the end.
“I trust all is well?” Quintis: “why would you trust that!”. Delightfully dark, funny and pessimistic at the same time
@John Kennedy Zawtha love that line
"Seriously? We're part of an empire, why would you think that?"
Like he was probably thinking that.
WELL SAID
LOVE , LOVE THE CHOSEN !! BINGE WATCHING AGAIN FOR THE 2ND TIME !! I GET DIFFERENT THINGS FROM IT IN DEEPER DEPTH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!
THANK YOU TO ALL CREW, VOLUNTEERS, STAFF & PEOPLE WHO HELP THIS LIVE STREAM POSSIBLE !!🌈💐💐💙💙
Brandon is a really good actor. His role was rock solid in season 1.. it's funny that you can't really hate on Quintus like a villain. To be honest, I felt that Shmuel seemed more of a villain in the latter episodes than Quintus did. In fact Quintus makes you curious about how his mind works, or what leads him to be that way. A brilliant take on his role.👌 Keep it going!
So agree!! Shmuel was much more the villain to me.
Yeah Shmuel is just so malicious.
Aw yah Quintus immediately gives villain vibes. His style kind of reminds me of king Joffrey in GOT in how be portrays arrogance. Shmuel I think Is going to become a bigger villian in later seasons. He’s like a slippery little weasel. I wouldn’t be surprised if Shmuel is the guy that pays Judas
exactly i freakin love his character and the one thing that i like is his charm
I agree that Shmuel is the REAL bad guy. He got John locked up without the consent of Nicodemus, he tried to have Jesus arrested after SEEING a miracle! That shows the devil is in him already!
His voice is perfect. So fitting for the part he plays.
How can anyone give this a thumbs down? This is the best series I’ve EVER watched! God bless you all.
Quintus is one of my favorite characters -- Brandon plays him brilliantly -- he is so perfectly Roman -- good for Rome, bad for everyone else. As he notes, efficient, intelligent, focused. A really sharp knife in the Roman arsenal. (And it really does take intelligence to recognize intelligence like Matthew's.) Well played.
Totally Agree! He is one of my favorites too :) I just love it!
So love the way Brandon plays Quintus his little laugh is just so fun.
Susan Gourde yes that ‘giggle’ he does when Matthew tells him he’s made a bad call and poor Gaius thinks he’s about to die is just wonderful 😄
Yup😆
Genius pairing of these 3 characters/actors with Matthew, Quintus & Gaius - pure creative license correct?
I know right! If this show was about virtually anything else, well, I'd be rooting for Quintus! 🏅
@@4july99 and when Gaius has his head bowed, Quintas asks Matthew "do you think I've made a mistake?" Gaius is shaking his head 'no' but then Matthew answers "yes" and Gaius drops his head even more, like "oh snap you've done it now Matthew." 😆
It's those kind of subtleties that are the perfect and relatable touches!! Can't say enough good about this show.
Brandon’s voice is just perfect for Quintus, very good choice!
I immediately loved the character of Quintus. I don't know who Dallas was initially thinking of for the role, but I think Brandon plays him perfectly. His mannerisms (and delivery of some of the best lines) are so on point...."Why you're not a stain on a cartwheel is something we'll have many months to ponder." I love it. Thank you, Brandon and Dallas for giving us this interview and insight into the person Brandon and the character Quitus.
That is one of the most brilliant lines I've ever heard: subtlety hilarious!
The same with "Matthew...you're so wonderfully....ODD!"
@@resarm5007
YES!
THAT ONE GOT ME AS WELL!! 😁
I wonder if Quintus will eventually be the Roman centurion who goes through with sacrificing the Son of God and then declaring “Surely he was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54)
Love this guy. He is very likable. He’s a great actor. I really like his laugh. Maybe it’s just me. The Chosen is awesome.
It's not just you!!!
Valerie Roache Yes sir! Like when he referred to Matthew’s machine. He had me there for awhile.
It is hard to hate such a cool villain! 😁😃
My daughter and agree.
It's not just you. His laugh is what attracted me to him at the start
I have been WAITING for this!!!! I love this actor and this character!!!!
Also, is anyone else on board secretly hoping Gaius would be saved? Because we know there were Roman's who did accept Jesus!
The Modest Hobbit You’ll love the interview. :)
@@TheChosenSeries I loved it and I love my t shirt and hoodie, and you will see me in said hoodie on my facebook...Bridget Birkner. It's so flipping soft! #getusedtodifferent #bingeJesus
The Modest Hobbit There is a Gaius mentioned in 3John 1:1: “The Elder, to the beloved Gaius...” so perhaps he does become a follower of Jesus. The way his arc is progressing, seems to suggest it. In ep.8, when Gaius is leaving the house keys and dog to Matthew’s parents, he says something along the lines of, “There is someone who mildly admires your son...” implying himself... we will have to wait and see! All the actors have been just wonderful. A+ job on casting!!!
The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. ... It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour.
@@mamafortuin I Agree.. I think Dallas is going to have problems in future season trying to decide which characters to leave behind as the seasons progress.. so many good characters, but as the seasons go you can't possibly bring everyone with you all the way to the 8 season.. even though we'd love to see them every season.. as Examples I'd have to say like Joshua The Brave and Abigail, Rifca, even Zebedee and his Neighbors (Abigail's parents..) and who doesn't love Shula and Barnaby.. so man interesting Characters.. and that's just in season 1... I Don't envy Dallas's job in that area.. SOOO GOOD!!! #GetUsedToDifferent -- www.thechosen.tv/payitforward
I was lucky enough to go to school with Brandon Potter. Absolutely fabulous actor, his performance as Juliet's dad will live in my memory forever. I played Romeo's dad and it was like a toy truck taking on a Transformer lmao.
Very cool!
That’s so cool! He’s amazing. I could TOTALLY see him playing Lex Luthor, too!!
Brandon does an EXCELLENT job as Quintas-I really hope that he is in future seasons.
Please, make one of these for Gaius! I love him. His tough Roman attitude with the weak spot he has for Matthew is so adorable. While he admires Matthew's intelligence like Quintus does, I think he has a big brother dynamic that makes him genuinely concerned about his well being. He has a certain bond with Matthew's parents because of it that was delightful to watch.
The series will have a hard time having "detestable villains" - and that's actually good. It is something that I think the writers should aim for. It's not only that the actors have such good chemistry and the characters are so interesting. I think it's also because a series about Jesus has the unique requirement of showing that every human being is in need of redemption, and that the Lord does want them all redeemed. For example, the Pharisees do have a side that is very good - they want to be faithful to the covenant. The Romans can be ruthless, but they are a reflection of a great Empire that doesn't know much else than might makes right, like Brandon points out here. Quintus may be vicious, but he is lonely just like Matthew is lonely. Matthew found consolation in riches, Quintus in power. Their wound is similar, and it's good that we look at Matthew following Jesus and being slowly healed, and think "I wish Quintus would receive and accept this grace too."
It would be good to see even the nastiest characters have at least something that makes the audience look at them and relate. And as a counterpart, it is also good for us to see the most heroic characters fail, and be reminded that their heroism comes from God alone.
I can see Gaius being _the_ centurion. You know, the one whose servant got sick...
@@florian8599 saaaaame!!!! I’m hoping!
@@florian8599 i hope the same thing haha
@@florian8599 I can see him being the one at the cross, too
kitsch - agreed. I love studying this period; and scripture especially. Years ago, I had read something that Pilot "supposedly wrote" about Yeshua... Didn't believe it at the time, but there is some evidence that Pilot and his wife became Christians... it kinda makes sense looking back as I get older, because if you really read the end of the Gospels, this guy, really -REALLY did NOT want to execute the Christ - and I think was in a position where he was outright pressured to do so... kinda hoping Gaius and Quintas arrive at... well, the same conclusion as the Centurion who had the sick servant...
Quintus is not the character I find so distasteful, it's Shmuel! (love the way Nicodemus puts 'Shmuel' in his place when he so needs it) Quintus is power hungry, which we would expect from a Roman. What else does he have to strive for? Shmuel is also power hungry, but he should know better. Nicodemus tries to guide him but Shmuel uses subterfuge to get around him. He is the epitomy of the 'brood of vipers' John the Baptist has so aptly identified. I love the way Quintus baits Nicodemus and his interactions with Matthew are fascinating. Yes, Quintus is a bad guy but so artfully. Shmuel is also a bad guy but abhorrent in his raw jealousy.
I hope Maybe, Shmuel in next 4 seasons has changed
Absolutely agree!!!
Excellent ! Very much agree with you.
LOL! Even his character name sounds like a scientific classification of pond scum... "Shmuel"
Yes, Schmuel represents the Pharisee mind-set bent on following "The Law" of Talmud, and Jewish traditions - above all else. [funny side note: spell-check preferred "schmuck" to Schmuel.]
Dallas & Brandon have created an iconic character.
As millions of others, I'm anxiously awaiting season #3.
I bought all 3 seasons the most fun I experienced in a long time. I've binge watched it more than once.
“I don’t think Quintus will ever stop clawing his way to the top, even when he’s at the top.”
That is such a powerful statement. Revealing of the idol or gaping hole of the character.
I bet Quintus will be the Roman soldier at the end during the crucifixion that says "truly this is the son of God" 🤫🤯
(update: yes, or Gaius everybody 😂)
I hope he's the Roman officer who asks Jesus to heal his servant.
@@Conmezzo oooh good one too!
Or Gaius
literally just had the same thought! 😃
It might also be Gaius at the foot of the cross?
Love Quintus! Even though his character is a antagonist, he is so fun to watch and see him interact with whoever he is with in this show. He is so talented and has a magnetic personality, and his facial expressions are so reactionary and full of energy. His time with Matthew is my favorite. While he is demeaning and sees Matthew as a function, it is clear he sees the “something special” in Matthew. I hope we see a lot more of Quintus in S:2. Super talented actor! My favorite bad boy of this show.
We couldn't agree more! Quintus "the actor fans love to hate".
And also hate that we "have to hate".. Hard not to love quintus while the character is trying so hard to make us hate.. It's so confusingly interesting!!
@@mizpahshenj5354 “confusingly interesting” is a great way to put it. I just saw seasons 1 and 2 for the first time, after hearing about this show for a long time, and realized I liked this Roman praetor character, Quintus. That sort of surprised me! It’s because Quintus has personality and depth - he’s not your typical, one dimensional bad guy - and he’s played superbly by the actor, Brandon Potter. You know he’s the villain, but you can’t help but like him. I will be disappointed to see him exit the show.
Brandon Potter plays the part so well. And it's such a well written part. This show has everything - the greatest story ever told, re-told in the most beautiful, compelling, moving way. I can feel my heart breaking slowly.
When I first saw Brandon Potter as Quintas...
I thought he was John de Lancie who played Q on Star Trek series, or at least related to John somehow.
His facial features and his voice tone and way of speaking sounds just like him!
I know John de Lancie's real son played Q's son also on Star Trek a couple times and I thought Brandon might have been him, until I looked up who plays Quintas.
I really enjoy The Chosen!!
ALL of the actors/actresses each bring something... unique...in their own way to the series!!
Thank you Father in Heaven for allowing such talent and gifted people to present Your History, TRUTH, and LIGHT to the whole world!!
Exactly what I thought--kept thinking "who does this guy sound like?" I even looked up John de Lancie to see if Brandon was his son!
Same!
@@fannytemper
So did I..!! 😁
@@angelika013 😅
I love Brandon’s voice. just perfetct👌
Right!!??? His voice issa just incredible
I agree. His voice reminds me of the actor who played Q in Star Trek TNG.
Yea! V authoritative!
Blue Hart Thank you! I have said the same thing since the first scene he was in!
@@bluehart2559 I just watched season 1.....yes, late to the party... I thought the very same thing. Uncanny.
the tone and his body language for this role on point, he should do animation or voiceovers
I think he's a voice actor actually
I think he does.
Understandably, most of the "behind the scenes" attention has been given to actors who play the heroes in the story (Jesus, Matthew, Andrew, etc.), but Brandon plays the role of Quintus so incredibly well and I think he deserves more recognition for it.
When I first saw Quintus, I thought it was the same guy that played Q in the old Star Trek, TNG. Soon as I saw him, though, I realized that wasn't him. He does a superb job though!
"We do get some criticism. I'm sure we'll get more. It just doesn't matter, because we've already made the decision." Spoken like a true parent. I appreciate you letting the haters know. Relax. We're not changing anything. 😐😇
I really do not read much due to dislexia. It is
My pastor said this one time
Jesus himself had offended some people because he spoke the truth. So if your words and your work isn't offendint anybody then maybe you're doing something wrong.
Brandon is seriously intelligent! A mind like that was best for the role.
He played it so well, I don't know if I were meet him, if I would shake his hand, run!.. or give him a mean side-eye from a distance. 😂
Well done Brandon 👏👏
Safiya Brown that’s great acting sis. He’s such a genius
Brandon really has the voice to be Quintus. That's what I like about him now that you've introduced him to me in this way.
Brandon plays the most wonderfully charismatic villain I’ve ever seen. You want to hate him but you get that his character is more complex and somehow you end up relating to him and wanting to understand his character deeper. Brandon’s voice, mannerisms, and that giggle are pure gold and magnetic in that you want to engage with him more. Listening to Brandon, you get that he has analyzed his character deeply and is completely invested in Quintus. Between his brilliance and his delightful personality, The Chosen absolutely nailed this casting. Bravo to The Chosen and Brandon. Can’t wait to see more.
The casting for The Chosen has been absolutely pitch perfect! I can’t imagine any other actors playing these characters than the ones who were chosen. A+ to the casting director and Dallas for pulling such fantastic performances from an exceptional cast!!! ❤️
Lorinda Fortuin This film is God led 🙏🏿
mylifesings amen!
Each dialogue has such a powerful effect. With such a great international cast, I believe Dallas put a huge jigsaw puzzle pieces wonderfully together. It couldn't be better. We are eagerly waiting for season 2 and more.
Agreed. God is doing a new thing here.
If you love Brandon playing Quintas, check him out in the Eyewitness Bible Series. He portrays Doubting Thomas and of course he’s fantastic. As for The Chosen, my favorite interaction between Quintas and Matthew is when Quintas says “Of course you have a dog” Love that series.
He was excellent on the Eyewitness Bible Series. I watched it twice.
That my favorite as well!!
Does he have a big role in the bible??
Where can I find the Eyewitness bible series?
@@forerunner7 Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/uI8ws9ClonU/v-deo.html
Brandon just nailed that role. I love his laughter toward Matthew. He just "killed" the role. I hope we get to see him again...in some role
Now, Brandon is doing a great job performing the “heavy”, but when not in costume and character, he just looks like such a great guy. He looks friendly; like a guy you’d like to hang around with. Great job!
Brandon has given Quintus incredible psychological and emotional depth. It is fascinating to hear Brandon describe the complexities of his character. Clearly, this is why we are drawn into an intense, close-up experience, when watching his scenes. So well done. And, that single eyebrow lift? Yikes! Brilliant acting. Perfect casting.
The chemistry between Quintus & Matthew is priceless. Brilliant writing & "playing". And yes he is obviously a very intelligent guy. Hope he interacts with the fans & they write him in many episodes to come.
I love how excited Brandon got describing the development of the character, u can tell he has a real respect and passion for acting
The way Brandon plays Quintus makes me want to see and experience Quintus deeper. Like slowing down to see the shock and dismay of a traffic accident. You know he's bad but you have to see more! Good acting.
He is a great bad guy, we agree, Jody! ;)
What I find fascinating: when I watched the first episode, Quintus immediately reminded me of the Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Q also appears in the very first episode and taunts Captain Picard and sets the pace for the plot, and then later speed the plot forward in another episode. Brandon looks and sound like the Q, and his character's name begins with the letter 'Q' and he kind of taunts Pharisee leader Nicodemus. I immediately thought that there was inspiration taken from the Q from Star Trek. But either way, I love the character.
Brandon does a fantastic job playing a sharp, intelligent Roman soldier. When you dislike a mean character and then realize the person behind the character is not mean at all you kno there's one super good actor.
I love Quintus. I know we are not supposed to like him, but I can't help it. He is clearly competent, intelligent, and ambitious. But what I love most about him is that he appreciates what makes Matthew special. He sees that Matthew has more to him than what others see.
Quintis’ voice and delivery sound remarkably similar to John Delancey, aka Q from Star Trek. Has anyone else noticed this?
He isn't just Brandon. He's Quintus himself.
I just love the casting from this show❤
I LOVE the line, “C’mon Matthew, keep up. So subtle but so memorable. And great acting...
Brandon brings an energy to the screen, unlike anything I have seen before.
I loved his depiction of Quintus…
His voice and expressions brought forth the depths of Quintus’ soul… the good, the bad, the ugly!
Looking forward to seeing a lot more of Brandon!
I find him wonderfully intriguing!
Jesus loved and came for us sinners AND the Quintuses (Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc...) of the world. Awe is the only word that comes to mind. Congrats to Brandon for such a high caliber performance and to Dallas for delivering the exceptional fish and loaves.
Brandon's Quintus looks and sounds like John Delancie's Q from Star Trek: TNG. He bats people around like a cat with toys. And just like those episodes, I cannot stop watching Quintus on screen! Hanging on his every word... Interesting movie influences on the character, too.
Quintus reminds me of the character "Q" from Star Trek Next Generation. Brandon plays the character very well. Thank you.
I really love the way he portraits not just Quintus but a roman well done sir well done
I loved Brandon from the first scene he appeared in and I even like Quintus because he has that feel of intelligence and personality, sort of like a cat who's enjoying playing with captured mice in every scene he's played! It really makes him a joy to watch even though his character has quite the potential for evil. I hope to see a lot more of Brandon/Quintus in the coming seasons!
Quintus was one of my favorite characters!!! Really made me feel the might of Rome.
I so enjoyed "meeting" Brandon. These interviews enhance my love for The Chosen - in the scenes with Quintas my first words are "oh, this guy - what's he gonna do now" I find myself sitting up a little straighter in anticipation. I cannot imagine another actor as Quintas. Everything about The Chosen is brilliant.
I loved the way Quintus conducted himself. Full of authority, and full of ambition, building a name and an empire for himself while serving the Empire. Kind of looked so Roman.
I love this guy and how he plays his part. The interactions between Quintus and Matthew are very enjoyable. Just another reason to love the show. :-)
Brandon is as intelligent and personable as Quintus! Casting perfection. So honored to finally “meet” Brandon. He is brilliant, passionate, fun and simply enchanting. Great interview.
I love Quintus' character. He reminds me so much of 'Q' on Star Trek: TNG.
I hope that working on The Chosen brings about other opportunities for these actors 😊
Quintus played by Brandon is a major highlight of season one and I just loved all of his parts! Thank you Dallas and Brandon!
Quintus is one of my favorite characters. He is so rational and objective in his drive for power, he is forced to like Matthew for his pure honest, objective rationality. He is smug and arrogant because he's always right. His blind spot is what he's ignorant of and his false assumptions.
One of my favorite Quintus lines is after he hears that Matthew quit to follow Jesus and he goes “.........😤 oh I really don’t like that man” 😂😂😂😂😂 I felt the frustration in that line like Quintus just lost his right hand man
Quintus was so brilliantly cast. Embodies the essence of what power Rome had so well.
Brandon does an amazing job playing Quintus. I said to my wife while we were watching an episode for the 3rd time that the high intelligence of the actor playing Quintus was showing through the character. It isn’t surprising to see now that the actor is indeed intelligent.
Love how active you are on UA-cam !!! Love love the chosen
I don't think Dallas ever sleeps lol
@@juliapeters6830 What is this thing you call "sleep"?!
@@TheChosenSeries ha ha ha really 😅
@@TheChosenSeries I think it means that you put your whole life into this project, which is a good thing.
Really hope to see more of Quintus in season 2. Intelligently played, perfect choice!
Love him. My favorite line of his is, "Oh, I really don't like that man!" and the tone he uses!
Quintos is played so well!!! And definitely one of my favorite characters of the show because of how well he is played! Plus his voice is great! Great character and casting!! Thank you Brandon and Dallas🙏🏼🤍
We think he's pretty special too Erik!
He plays this role so well! I love the scene where he's like (to Matthew and Gaius): how long were you going to stand there? I think its from episode 6?
Brandon's performance was immediately startling and mesmerizing. Totally unexpected and fresh. I had never seen anything like it and especially on a bible retelling story. Wishing good things for this guy's career!
One year later and I still can't get over Brandon's great performance, looking forward to seeing Quintus again!
Quintus is one of our favorites-- i love how you didn't just make the Romans one dimensional- but that there are parts of them that we like and make us laugh--
Also can I just say HOW MUCH I LOVE HIS VOICE 😂
Brandon does a fantastic job of playing the cunning villain Quintis. In the TV series Star Trek The Next Generation, there was a reoccurring character named “Q” that was the nemesis of Captain Picard. Does anyone else see the similarities between Quintis and Q and how Brandon seems to have captured the mannerisms and voice of the actor that played Q? It’s uncanny to me how knowingly or unknowingly the two evil characters are portrayed in remarkably similar ways.
I have thought this, too! Brandon could easily have played Q.
Yes 100%
As a huge Q fan, I’m so glad you noted that.
From his first lines in the show I said out loud that sounds like Q. I was wondering if that's why they named him Quintus. Is the director having a little fun with that. But it sounds like that was the characters name before Potter read for it. I also wondered if Potter sounds like that in real life or is he doing an impersonation but he really does sound very similar. Anyway Quintus is such a fun character to watch.
The chosen is a beautifully produced show. I love it all. Something I noticed is how much Brandon (As Quintus) sounds like John de Lancie. It was like hearing Q from Star Trek.
The chosen movies makes me feel more in love with Yeshua ...My favourite character was nicodimus and I can relate with Matthew. Praise God this project
Every part of The Chosen is spectacular! There is no doubt in my mind that God's hand is on this project and all the people involved !
@@theresagia3272 Hallelujah Praises to Yeshua
So right on. I concur!!
Quintus memes? I want to see those!
I've only seen a couple but they are delightful hehehe
YESSSS
Quietus is amazing I love when he is on. He is perfect in that roll. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that part.
Brandon is such a talented actor! I really enjoy the layers he puts in Quintus you see his humanity not just a villain so masterfully crafted!
"Well done." In my best praetor voice.
What a joy to hear from our favorite "bad guy." As Believers, we knew there had to be a tender hearted man behind that mean veneer, but it's good to get to "see" that tenderness behind his eyes and a gentle tone. I think it helps keep the viewers balanced on what's actually being done, and the REAL talent being portrayed. THANK YOU, Quintas, for a magnificent performance and for believing in what you're doing.
I feel like actors who play villains are extra talented because I end up disliking the villainous character and also end up carrying an irrational dislike for the innocent actor. Great work!
"You always need to bring a little of yourself to the character."
I just discussed this with my D&D group last week! If there's not a part of you in the character, you won't feel that connection to the character. You won't feel attached, you won't care about them.
On another note, my [unsaved] friend found Quintus's approach to miracles relatable: "I wonder how they pulled that off."
Cool interview, his acting as Quintus is so good. We get really scared with him on scene. 😂😁
Brandon, you have done an amazing job bringing Quintus to life. You make my skin crawl, frankly (but in a good way??) You portray him with this quiet confidence that says, "I don't have to raise my voice; I can have you executed with a twitch of my eyebrow." That kind of cold, still confidence is wonderfully creepy...
Yeah... Good description... my goose bumps perked up as you described him.. He's definitely hiding some major evil inside hehehe
my feekings - I just couldn't vocalize them so well.
I absolutely love how Quintus has been portrayed. Now that season 2 is out and the big meeting has happened I'm even more impressed. This whole show is just so amazingly done. You can feel God in every part of it. I love it.
Each of The Chosen's main characters' performances were wonderful. I found some to be extra engaging, extra believable. For example, Quintus's expressions, moods, words, surprise and chuckle were all so perfectly timed, so natural, yet within the parameters of one who knows he's in control. Short but fascinating scenes. There are so many scenes in The Chosen where so much more is projected than just the words and actions. The script is AMAZING! And the actors bring life to each scene that, I believe, is blessed by God Almighty. Praying God continues to bless, protect, prosper, guide, and keep all involved with The Chosen in His all-powerful care in Jesus' name.
This actor undoubtedly knows what he's doing. Thumbs up.
Quintus is my favorite character. I was so pleased to come across this interview! I did think that possibly the actor playing Quintus was a comedian, by the way he delivered his lines. He didn’t appear a villain to me, but then I grew up in the Deep South where prejudice had to be dealt with every day and reduced to a manageable situation. I likeMatthew because he’s not fearful of Quintus, and Quintus needs that acceptance.
Brandon’s portrayal of Quintus is superb! We can’t however get over the fact of how much he sounds like John de Lancie - especially in his Star Trek character Q. We love The Chosen and can’t wait for Seasons 2 and 3! This series has been part of our weekly family journey on Friday evenings during Lent this year. Thank you all for doing this! God bless you all!!
Fav quintis line “ oh I really don’t like that man.” Quintis’ character is like a cat about to pounce on his prey
Yes! A cat!
Brandon's portrayal of Quintus really hammers in the ruthlessness of the Roman empire and its world dominance. He has a really intense energy that helps us understand how the commoners could be intimidated into submission at the mere sight of a red cape.
I like this guy on the show. His voice is so perfect and his lines. He does his role so well
I really like the character of Quintus. He intrigues me in a challenging sort of way. The way Brandon plays him, he has this way of smiling with a wicked gleam in his eyes and his head slightly tilted to one side that makes it so perfect.
Amazing actor!! For me personally, I feel the role of the characters as if I am in their shoes. In many of his scenes, I actually feel fear as if I myself were standing before Quintis. He is a chilling character and the fact that he is portrayed as NOT crazy, makes him all the more disturbing.
