@@lezlihart tbh I hadn't seen him before. I saw him this year in The Batman for the first time, and then when he appeared in OFMD I recognized him immediately because there's something special about him. And now this video. I'll make sure to check out other things he's been in because he's just great
OFMD just demonstrated how much we've been sleeping on such great actors, and that them being older than the usual "handsome young stud protagonist" is not undesirable nor unattactive to younger audiences. We crave that mineral
I'm so glad you said this, because I know so many people such as myself that find older men very attractive! I was attracted to Izzy right away, and I was attracted to Val right away. Also, these older actors bring so much talent to the table. Especially those like Con who have a lot of theatre background.
I have never seen a character who wears "women's" clothes or is trans who uses he/him pronouns and it's not a joke and it's not transphobic. He's not the joke, and the way the other characters treat him makes me want to cry 🥺😍. I guess imma find this show and watch it now. Aaaaaa seeing how comfortable con is as Val and clearly is having the time of his life give me so much hope and excitement for what they might do with Izzy in OFMD.
I was pleasantly surprised about that when I saw the show! cross dressing on TV (especially comedies) have a shitty reputation for being transphobic and I'm so happy for what they did w/ Val, and was such a well rounded character
When he said "I refuse to change who I am", the pride and joy that is embodied in that statement and delivery. Brought a tear to my eye. As a trans guy, it's so rare to see a trans person in media being confident, openly happy, and proud of who they are. Con O'Neil did a fantastic job as Val

@@SingingSealRiana i watched the show, val literally said they just like dressing more femininely 😭 but actually i get what you mean, also this was a year ago LOL
I’m here from ofmd. I’ve never heard of this show until now but I want Val to adopt me. I want to be Val. I would be happy with only half their energy. what a fucking whiplash watching Izzy and then seeing this. I aspire to be on their level
@@lezlihart I had never heard of him until like two weeks ago, but wow. he’s really fucking great. he does have a flair that i feel like i haven’t seen in some time. he has an energy i can’t define
@@lezlihart haha thanks. I’ve been seeing a lot of Val edits on Twitter and Instagram in the last week and they all have the scenes from this video, so thanks on behalf of everyone lol
okay sorry for all the replies I just had to come back and say that at 8:48 that look reminded me of someone which was bothering me and I just figured it out. He looks exactly like my grandma and her sister. Down to the acrylic nails. like i think I’ve seen this exact outfit on one of them. holy shit
Con truly has so much range and seeing him as Val just proves that so much. The character is so wonderful and funny and loving and yet witty and sarcastic but his identity is not used for dumb jokes or anything. God, this is so perfect, thank you for uploading it. Genuinely made me laugh (and maybe cry a little, at the end)
Val was my first introduction to Con’s acting, and whilst it’s been so fun to see him appearing in OFMD and the Batman I will always scream “IT’S VAL!”
i really like that in that second to last scene val's there without makeup or a wig or even a super flamboyant outfit. they're just kind of bare because it's a vulnerable moment and it kind of strips the character down to the bones and emphasizes exactly what andy says ("if he doesnt do xyz then he doesnt deserve you" and i love that so much man it :,,) good moments.
I agree with the consensus that Val is beautifully written and performed. The character is just fantastic and always intriguing, I could've watched a whole series of just Val. The dialogue in the first scene with Val and Errol is imo one of the most perfectly written and balanced pieces of dialogue. The bonding between the two vastly different characters without eithers personality having to yield to the other, the unspoken sense that Val sees a lot of himself in Errol even though they don't go down the obvious route of making Errol gay, and the women's clothing and pyjamas conversation is so deceptively deep.
been a fan of con for a good while - weirdly enough he and my mum grew up going to the same community theatre - and it's so lovely to see him getting the praise he's deserved for years!
everything about this scene is amazing (well ignoring the uncomfortable implications of sexuall assault and stalking) it is the hight of my guilty pleasure ^^
@@zeechops401 I think Val would be fine with either. Con O'Neill has used she/her to refer to Val as well- it's not at all uncommon for people in the gay/drag community to use both he/him and she/her based on presentation/mood. (Not that Val is in drag, of course.) Obviously Val doesn't say anything in the third person, but he does use both masculine and feminine words to describe himself- Gwen's dad, not your fairy godmother, etc. edit: or, actually, better example, in the same conversation Val refers to himself as both "a guy in heels" and "more of a Cruella deVille kind of girl." for some people, those things just aren't mutually exclusive!
Came back here faster than the speed of light after the finale of ofmd-suffice to say my vision is Blurry lmao. Two shows with three dimensional, unapologetic, explicitly queer characters. How lucky we are
one of my favorite comedy bits is people listing off increasingly absurd names for things, like the monty python cheese shop sketch or all of the prisoners in paddington 2, so val’s punk band resume has now worked its way into my lexicon. screaming vaginas and piss are my new favorite bands
Loved Con before OFMD and I'm so glad it's easier to find clips of him now! Would love to see a compilation of him as Cliff in Cucumber if you decide to:) - Chris
Late maybe, but the perfect time for me after Izzy, now reborn as Val . I feel so much better. Going to look up this series. Thank you for easing my pain. ❤
I've never heard of this show before this, and I'll definitely never watch it, but Val makes me really happy, and is a great comfort character of mine now. Con O'Neil is truly a living legend, and I still despise Izzy
never knew how much seeing Blackfish smooch Izzy Hands would make me feel better. i absolutely adore Con and his socials really helped me through these past couple of weeks Uncle is on my watchlist now, thank you! bbc shows of mid 10s will always have a special place in my heart but i've not come across this one yet
well i've never seen or heard of this show but my GOD thank you for this video, he looks fantastic in this role!! (my personal fav outfits were at 5:029:03 and 14:30 ) now my want to befriend an older queer person has grown ten times stronger and i'm emotional because of that conversation at the end LMAO
Just finished this show and bawled at scene with Val and Andy at the end. The growth Andy shows and the strength Val has to be himself authentically was beautiful
vals leather jacket in her outfit at 10:50 looks incredibly similar to the jacket con wore in dancing thru the dark in the 90s im really curious if its the same coat, i love con in everything hes in and val is such an amazing character i wish she was in the show more. im so glad ofmd introduced me to cons work i love that chaotic man sm
The absolute happiness I felt while watching this video is outta me. I'm just so so so happy! Con is so beautiful and this character is amazing. The ending was so good. Imma watch this show.
I had watched uncle as it was airing and got so excited when it would return, i was so happy to see con in our flag means death i knew his character would stand out by a mile!! Its so lovely to see people come across this gem and love his role, watch the whole show though because theyre all really funny characters!!
Isn’t it awesome I got to discover this man thanks to ofmd which I only heard of thanks to a random video on yt. And I’m living in france !! So many great actors to look upon to, thank you internet and the people in it
Anybody else watched Dancin thru the Dark and thought Peter could've been a young Val? It hit me in that scene outside the recording studio when Val says he used to be a musician.

When he says Jizzy Lizzy I almost died
fun fact: the name Con is actually short for LGBTQ Icon
Mike drop.
That makes so much sense
hey i posted this on my instagram story (w ur username still in it dw) and con liked it so i guess this is confirmed now
how the fuck did they manage to make izzy look so pocket sized??? con does not look small here i'm crying
Just put giants with him lmao
He is 5”8 to be fair
granted as val he's often in 6 inch heels so
i belive both rhys and taika are pretty tall themselves haha.
Edit: just kidding, not really. But con is still shorter than them by like 2-4 inches (that's what I get for making a comment before fact checking myself)
It's a lot of camera angles and putting him with taller actors I think.
17:42 when he says "I refuse to change who I am" I could die from the vulnerability. Con O'Neill is such a powerful actor.
Izzy would spontaneously combust if he ever saw Val
In a good way or a bad way???
@@alyssalopez1793 yes.
@@alyssalopez1793 Perhaps
Ayo? 😳
he would do his three "oh my god" X)

So very true
"I was playing in punk bands before you got your first period." is still the funniest shit ever.
Val is the definition of comfort character
"Don't make me kill you just when things were looking up" is such a good energy
Val would kick Izzys arse and then give therapy to the whole crew (Including Izzy) and have deep conversations about gender with Jim.
Hell yes!!!
