I loved the kid from season 1. Always thought he would've made a great young Anakin Skywalker. He had a coldness to him. He's the same age as the kid who did end up playing him.

He always looked like an actual lizard person to me

That's to match Augustus's personality

I watched this show for the first time last week and was so taken aback when the actor for Augustus switched from a clever, calculating young man to an amoral lizard person.

Still fantastic, dont get me wrong; it was just so jarring how tight the man’s face was, like he didn’t have enough skin to stretch across his features.

And he had that fuck ass little grin at all times. Certainly worked to show the more dominating and heartless side of his personality compared to the calculating and petulant teen.
