[@christttmasssholidddayyys497]

Yes his acting was perfect. The top hitman suited him so well. Every time he entered the episode, the show got so much better! It was already GREAT though. Entire cast was brilliant.

[@MaricelLumague-e1q]

Same

[@CynthiasTikka]

Half Mexican, half Dutch born and raised in the UK. Dark, tall, and handsome with the best accent. Oh my! 😂

[@mariacuevas6302]

The face. The accent. The smile. Things that make me melt. ☺

[@parksandrecreation8772]

His character is well played, the series is exciting and it would really be sad if the show got cancelled.

[@genie121]

peanut_jelly If they cancel we should all complain to the network!!! Because they always cut series short these days! I want something I can watch for long term!

[@vdsays4812]

Wht would they cut it? I have read on google that the premiere of season 3 is goimg to be in July 2018

[@oOdOdY75Oo]

peanut_jelly even if they cancel it, it's such a thrilling show that another network will pick it up in a heartbeat. That, or it will go on something like Netflix.

[@joannevicory7668]

I was shocked with his British Accent! Shows what a great actor he is!!

[@jackiefigueroa3801]

Amazing show!!!! Love the chemistry between James and Theresa!!!!

[@shingsarang2743]

[@preciousumunna268]

I skipped most of season 4...I tried to endure it but couldn't

[@yishmael5558]

I have just finished watching the whole series on Netflix. Worth to watch for and was full of thrills... Congratulations!!!

[@constanzabsa]

I love the way he say telenovela 😍 give me goosebumps

[@m.j.c.183]

OMG I thought he was Latino LOL love his accent :-) didn't see that one coming

[@JessicaGreenay]

@Alaska And he has a French last name! Such a perfect blend!!

[@rmjpgh]

Anna N that’s a Dutch last name

[@lisa_squared]

He’s a white Latino lol They exist.. actually most of the people in Spanish speaking media are the whitest ones

[@JG-wg9op]

Error Report I believe season 3 or 4 he kinda talks about where he’s from as his character

[@kellynikolaki9111]

him mum is Mexican

[@primachildcare1934]

Jameeeeeeees.... please get with Terase... it's not only business.. u saved her and she saved you.. he is so handsome 😘😘😘

[@ayalolz2991]

Coco Guled but she is 3 years older then him that’s why they put that guy with her coz she is the same age as the other guy

[@muzeyyenyldz19]

👍🙏

[@yara.e]

I KNEW HE WAS BRITISH!!! His voice is too deep to possibly be American. He sounded like Bellamy from The 100! And then Season 3 episode 1 HE SAID “TERESA GET IN THE CAR” but he said car the British way SO I WAS LIKE OMG I KNEW ITTTT

[@EyeoftheWhiteWolf]

I think of Bellamy too when I see him! I think they look alike & also sound alike.

[@danealrorke9917]

Definitely looks like Bellamy's big brother🤩

[@yara.e]

cynisme haha yesss

[@umadriaz1699]

He is half Dutch half Mexican grown up in the uk.

[@yara.e]

Umad Riaz thanks for telling me! It’s nice to know more

[@hannahdwyer7926]

actual love of my life

[@drmynka8990]

Same

[@annwangari3501]

Same I just love him

[@oOdOdY75Oo]

THIS DUDE IS A BRIT? Wow was that not expected.... Testament to his acting really is what it is....

[@MrWinaraujo]

He is so bloody handsome and good actor.

[@nicolaskaito4769]

This is our new Shanks now. He has the looks and charms...
Good luck to him....

[@texxou]

Who was distracted by Veronica and Justina in the back? I couldn’t stop looking at them laughing and chatting haha

[@thebestatit2015]

A lot of ppl don’t know that Alice Braga isn’t Mexican she’s from Brazil, a lot of the actors and actress are Brazilian….. Loved him in the show, actually I can’t stop watching it, I keep rewatching it over and over. It has so many multi talented ppl in it.

[@maggiekay7263]

So he's just ridiculously handsome, has a cute British accent with a charming personality it seems? I think I'm in love... 😍😂💘

[@lorrainamarro4655]

I can't wait for Season 3 and Season 4 and Season 5!!! :)

[@chaparrita6205]

Queen of the south is the best and James 😘 LOVE IT

[@genie121]

I'm British! And even I'm surprised! - the deception!!!!! Lol

[@mebutnotme.Khan78]

Yep I'm British and was shocked when I heard the accent lol. No idea he was British

[@sunnydays5742]

His voice is like velvet...so smooth. On the show it's epic.

[@mrzcastro2397]

Raised primarily in the UK, he is Dutch on his father's side and Mexican on his mother's side. Gadiot speaks English and Spanish. Crazy how he speak with a British accent in English and when he speaks Spanish he sounds Latino. If you listen closely sometimes you can catch his accent . He’s awesome !!!!

[@morganetches3749]

Like you said, his mother is Mexican so he grew up speaking Mexican Spanish and he grew up in England so he has an English accent in English. Makes perfect sense really

[@FLICOZY]

The best show on TV!

[@sarat4983]

I’m in love with this man 😍😍😍😅😂

[@rach3601]

Me too!

[@jasonkuy7100]

I love this show. Netflix brought me here

[@BoandNorafan4ever]

Omg just when I thought I couldn’t love James more he’s British 🥰🥰🥰

[@hellopeople5600]

He’s so damn cute
I blush when I see him 😊

[@xtremeintrovert2180]

I’m here because season 4 is over and I need closure...until season 5 lol 😂

[@mulusawalter779]

When is season five

[@xtremeintrovert2180]

Production was shut down on March 14, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic...

[@carmagurl317]

Haha I do that too

[@GesbranLC-]

Is it gonna be in 2021 ?

[@avo11]

they started filming last october again, i think its coming out this year but we dont know when!

[@lj3482]

Googled him and discovered he is actually British. I'm blown away as I'm British and have loved Quren of the South from day 1. NEVER expected this . Have read some of the comments, and to echo one of them "it's the mark of a good actor" Bravo Peter

[@treetopy]

Like.... once you know he's British, it makes sense. He looks like a freaking knight of the round table....

[@afrmva]

[@patriciaglaub6432]

PLEASE LET JAMES AND TERESA GET BACK TOGETHER. That relationship and how it evolved was a huge factor in the show during the first three seasons. And a lot of fans want to see them together. James’ absence was definitely a downer in season 4.

[@msjazzmine8361]
