My husband has this habit of taking on the main character of whatever show we are watching. When it was The Sopranos it was all “oof marone” all the time, with Yellowstone he talked with a twang and talked about train stations, etc. He likes to “take on” the characters in these shows for a few weeks and it drives me crazy! I can’t get my questions answered or have a normal conversation with him without him being “in character”. Even when watching seasons of Hell’s Kitchen he would talk like Gordon Ramsay and yell “it’s fucking raw!” as a response to anything.

Last night we finished The Penguin and now he’s walking around the house with a limp and keeps coming up to me saying “tell me you love me, tell me you’re proud of me ma” with his best Oz voice. Me and my daughter are both getting this latest character and it hasn’t even been an full 24 hours.

The worst part is he will…break character, if you will, and ask me if he really sounds like Oz. I tell him no but the whole thing makes me crack up laughing so it just reinforces his “acting” even more. I couldn’t even brush my teeth last night because I was laughing so hard. He’s very convinced that he could totally, 100% be an actor if he really tried. Again, it just cracks me up and I remind me he never sounds anything like these characters.

I am typically the one in our relationship to start new shows so I feel like his repetior of characters is now my fault. I asked for coffee this morning and he brought it to me while limping and again said “tell me you’re proud of me ma” when he handed it to me and when he got today’s clothes for our daughter he told her “one day this city will be mine”.

TL;DR: I introduced my hopeful actor husband to the show The Penguin and now he has taken on the character of Oswald Cobb. I can’t have a normal conversation with him and he will probably be “in character” for the next few weeks.
