Daniel Kennedy knew something interesting was going on when he got the job to be on a new Netflix drama, and then had to have a mask fitted. But what was it really like to play the role of the villainous VIP 2 in Squid Game? We sit down with Daniel to ask him about that, his response to online critics, and his hopes for season 2 – presuming it happens!

12.08.2022The VIPs played their part very well. The audience picked up on their superficial nature , which to me was intentional by the director. Some criticize what was intended I believe

08.08.2022Everything the VIP's said and did was symbolic..they where intentionslly to be like that..cold,limitless..out of touch,hardened by their money.. empty..the masks of Golden Animals reflect their lack of human feelings..their Lines where expressionless and had no melody to the words to hide any normal human feeling..it was done on porpous ..the filmmakers aim was for us to hate the VIPs and the succeeded..n they did a fantastic job.

08.08.2022He’s really handsome why? He didn’t show face throughout the series why do they need to cast such a fine guy❤️💕
Numair Abbas
08.08.2022so he only truly knew of his role until he was actually on set. Typical Korean behavior for foreign actors 🙁

08.08.2022I thought the VIPs were perfect! I loved how their performances were gaudy and inhuman, contrasting the very authentic emotions of the players. I thought it was a smart choice not to romanticize the ultra-wealthy, making them seem dumb and tasteless, helping sell the show’s overall critique of capitalism—which was not at all subtle

08.08.2022I don't really mind the VIPs tbh. I didn't expect any good English lines in a Korean show anyway, so I was already delighted by the Frontman
and given the VIPs behaviour/characters being very cringeworthy to begin with, the dialogue wasn't really that bad. Like most people speaking multiple languages,
I'm used to hearing very stereotypical, unnatural and often incorrect dialogue in shows and movies…….so I'm quite satisfied as long as it makes sense and
you can actually understand it.

08.08.2022That's not the kind of face that should be hidden behind a mask

08.08.2022I feel the people who hate the VIPs scene are from the US 😂, maybe the portrait bothers them? For me, as a latinoamerican, the VIPs seemed fine as characters, I hated them (so good job to the actors) and they were like entitled rich men, the kind of men who would enjoy a death game. Idk, the acting didn't seem bad to me, honestly.

06.08.2022The criticisms annoy the hell out of me because the english dub is 💩 subbed is wayyyyy better.

05.08.2022Guy seems like a legit actor. Having watched lots of K-Dramas though, it seems that many casting calls for foreign actors bring out wannabe amateur ex-pats living in Korea who are often laughably bad. Perhaps the reason is that the Korean casting directors, directors and producers don’t recognize bad acting in English when they see or hear it. Of course, the same issue can arise when Asians are cast in English language shows.

05.08.2022Glad he doesn't seem a total narcissist like yells at people he is an American and can do what he wants Geoffrey Giuliano.
Funny to me people don't realize the VIP scripting and acting was obviously intentional. Feeling bizarre, grotesque, out of place, and unrelatable is clearly part of the point. They exist in an entirely different world than the other characters and the rest of the show.

05.08.2022When the VIPs first started speaking, it sounded a little awkward and slower than most Native English speakers would speak, but as they went on they started to sound more natural. I actually think it makes sense if all of the VIPS were from different countries, because some would not be native English speakers

05.08.2022I like the masks
Blacksite
05.08.2022AHHHHH….. I NEED MORE VIP REVEAL FACE

GhostMiner
05.08.2022I wanna see the guy who said the "the real 69, huh?* grrrrr 😅
Rambi
05.08.2022I mean sure, these VIP actors might be as good of people as they come but that acting was miles below the Korean actors.
It quite frankly brought the series down a notch.
Stanley
05.08.2022Boring guy and boring interview
temp tempo
05.08.2022I get the feeling he has no genuine interest in "Squid game" or in Korean cinema.
He's just bs-ing his way through most of this interview.🤣

03.08.2022I hope they flesh out the VIPs characters in season 2 as well, especially this guy. I’m interested in his story.

03.08.2022The vip's were really cringe and I only really liked antler guy. But other then that, the actors shouldn't be hated on. They did great at making us hate the characters.

03.08.2022Deffo he isn't a racist like Giuliano! VIP 2is much better than VIP 4!

03.08.20226:54 Dude don't be too sure! Any. Slightest bit. Of. Movements…. you die. The tension was different. Just, well, you need to pay attention Younghee will turn around once she says Da.

03.08.2022Unlike VIP 4 who is an a**hole in real life, this guy actually seems like a nice guy

03.08.2022He seems like the football neighbor dad. Not an offense but a little funny how he played an evil vip
UsernameMcUsernameson
03.08.2022I kind of love that a Korean filmmaker had American actors act like stupid caricatures, just like American film makers have always chosen to write Asian characters. I love the irony.
Kal Trex
31.07.2022VIP were a great addition of over the top exaggerated foreign actors in an Asian show. Pure sin underground wealth. Reminds me of the 2004 wolf anime with few wealthy leaders in a dystopian crumbling world

31.07.2022Well if no one hates these VIP wil mean they did a lousy job as the 'bad' guys. Cool to be part of the show 🙂
