Oh man, the laugh on “all my fond love do I blow to Heaven”. Ouch.
ANTON LESSER YOU DEFT, TWISTY FUCKER. You can practically hear him gauging each of Othello’s reactions and adjusting his tone accordingly. And the way he mirrors Othello’s bombast just a little on the oath, trusting both that he’ll take it for sincerity and that the audience will hear the mocking.
