David Thewlis
As John Dee
The bad minor John Dee has a short arc in season 1, during which he shows what the power of the dream looks like, believing that his actions facilitate honesty and freedom. David Thewlis perfectly achieves the character of a deceived villain, On a mission to accomplish his own vision of truth and improvement.
John is calm and scary, revealing without ceremony his violent crimes passed and provoking chaos, distress and blood effusions without blinking. However, he is a little disappointing, a person who led a difficult life and hurts others because of this. It is not the most convincing character or performance in the series, but well done on the whole for what it is in history.

Jack Gleeson
Washer
Game of Thrones The actor Jack Gleeson is initially unrecognizable The SandmanBut as the season progresses, you realize that this role is an incredible step for him. Puck is the thread of tradition, which encounters as many dangerous in this context, and Gleeson perfectly executes his mischievous semi-vilaine.
The performance becomes even more interesting when touches of sympathy are carefully mixed with this. Puck can be horrible, but he doesn’t want his partner to kill a baby. He slowly interacts with Baby Daniel, has an authentic but contaminated love for Loki (Freddie Fox), and knows when to call him leaves, which makes a nuanced realization of this legendary figure.

Boyd Holbrook
As Corinthian
The Sandman needed a good serial killer performance to tell her story, And Boyd Holbrook delivered. The character captures the nature of what the dream can create real nightmares, and what happens when they escape in the world of awakening. The Corinthian is sharp and terrifying, looking for his own freedom.
Then, when he returns in season 2, the Corinthian has somehow lost anything of his advantage but can still be considered as a real ally of the heroes. Holbrook completely returns the script, showing the interest of her character to know Johanna and her sweetness with the baby. And yet, his disaster will not disappear completely (which makes his heroism a little difficult to swallow).

Jenna Coleman
Like Johanna Constantin
Johanna is undoubtedly the most friendly character whenever she is on the screen. Capable, full of spirit and always carrying a life of vegetables and tragic with her, she is a fantastic dark heroine serving as a support for support in this epic. Jenna Coleman describes her as very confident in her supernatural transactions, while transmitting her underlying sadness.
Johanna wants love, but saw too many people die to continue him. This desire is subtle in Coleman’s performance, but he is there, he is crucial for the character. Sometimes writing does not make many favors of Johanna, limiting what Coleman can act as modern exorcist or his ancestor, But she is convincing and melancholy throughout.
6
Stephen Fry
Like Fiddler’s green
Stephen Fry was an inspired casting choice for Fiddler’s Green, Bring exactly the right type of conviviality and understanding to this role. It seems to know exactly what advice or encouragement need a character at a given time, including the dream; Despite the king’s disturbing way, even he loves Fiddler’s green to be really angry with him.
In the concept, the character is abstract, while in execution, his dialogue and his role are quite simple. And yet, Fry undeniably brings a certain magic to the beloved dream resident. It serves as a discreet pillar of the series, capturing the most full side of Dream’s domination.
5
Esmé Creed-Miles
As a delirium
As she is The SandmanThe most popular character, the bar was incredibly high for the actor who would eventually play Delirium. Esmé Creed-Miles is quite delicious in the role, having a lot of fun with the behavior verified by Delirium And a sweet fascination for most things and people, while nailing the sincere foundations of the character.
Delirium may seem to live in a psychedelic world, but there is a wisdom where none of its more powerful and more powerful brothers can access it. It is more likely than anyone of them to simply say things as they are, in particular with regard to emotions. The way she connects to people reminds them that there are always greater mysteries to think.
4
Vivienne Acheampong
AS Lucienne
Lucien is an incredible player in the world of the right woman who is still prepared by Dream. The performance of Vivienne Acheambong is friendly, courteous and professional. In addition, it shows how Lucien won his place where the king of dreams will take into account his advice through works of service and proving his intelligence.
And the dream is still breath from time to time. It is not in the personality of Lucienne (or really, his power) to react excessively, therefore ACHEAMPONG must portray the underlying tension, and the complicated feelings of Lucien on his belief in the dream against his belief in the king of current dreams. Overall, she is another nice, complex and legendary figure that can be neglected in relation to evolution.

Tom Sturridge
As a dream
The Arc de Dream is the centerpiece of the show, and Tom Sturridge performs it beautifully. Due to the usually stoic behavior of the character, the actor must often portray devastating emotions with only the slightest change of expression. We see so few Dream character before his imprisonment in this series, a large part of the accent is put on his evolution.
Despite how rigid it is, Writing and performance work to convince us that the events that play would have a real impact on dreams, Slowly cuts her walls and encouraging her to recognize her human emotions. He transmits such power when he is pious that the things he does to show the vulnerability has struck hard.
However, I would not say that Sturridge gives the best performances in The Sandman When there are times when he has the impression that he depends on a single facial expression of pretentious Durness. But it is undeniable that he withdrew this character arc greater than life of the humility and the sorrow of a God.
2
Gwendoline Christie
As Lucifer
Perhaps in part thanks to its own high status in cultural zeitgeist, Gwendoline Christie has a powerful and dominant presence as Lucifer to compete with Dream. Lucifer is also very thoughtful, but not in the maniac or chaotic way that I saw in other versions of the biblical character. Thus, Christie shines during the confrontation of Lucifer with Dream in season 1.
However, the character’s philosophical delimitation is taken to new peaks in season 2. Lucifer simply says they have decided to retire, and Christie gives the impression that the most revolutionary thing that happens. Lucifer’s follow -up scene to take advantage of the retirement is also reflected, completing the arc of the fallen angel which questions everything and then moves away.

Kirby Howell-Baptist
Death
Death is fascinating and breathtaking in its incarnation in The Sandman,, Provising poignant how death can be so soft. During her first episode, she simply works on the stage to have a conversation with her brother, and in a way in a way the foundation of television adaptation, showing a very different way, one of the infinies can manifest.
Death is very soft and eccentric, But with its more obsessive qualities. Unlike the often arrogant entities of the show, his interactions with humans who have just died are touching and convincing in the way she actually attenuates them. However, The Sandman The special episode of season 2 reveals its heartbreaking desire and how it is not a perfect being either.
Kirby Howell-Baptiste is also one of the actors in The Sandman whose performance is difficult to identify in terms of specific actor choice – it has just a I don’t know what This lends itself perfectly to this character. It is, at least, very in contact with the way death is intrinsically greater than life, but is very linked to the anchored experiences of humanity.
