Dexter Desperate Call to Emma | One Day | Netflix 

He is truly a good actor! no fuss or fluff. he is just really good at his craft

That first gasp for air after he hangs up the phone. And you see his world totally go upside down. The realization of it all. Gosh my heart broke! Like damn!

For me the most impressive acting moment in this scene is when he first starts to say “it has been an unbelievably sh*tty day”, his voice breaks, and his face starts to scrunch up like he’s going to fully break into tears, but he manages to rein it back in. So real and really looks like he’s feeling the pain. He was amazing in this scene!

How is acting like this possible? This is like a real situation. His acting is amazing. It breaks my heart.

The pain in the chest is the most real thing, it's physical. This story broke my heart, the acting was exceptional and the plot incredible... This show will stay in my heart forever❤

I want BIG roles for him. He is totally charming, you just can't take your eyes off of him. And the most important thing, he is an incredible and natural actor. He has everything to get a good role, to do a big movie. I just can't wait to see him in another project!!!!!

I'm in two minds. One half is like bro, you should've just realized and accepted it sooner, the evidence was so obvious that you loved her. Instead you chose life in the fast lane. You chose the lights and the fame. You chose the edgy and gritty late night shows and the lifestyle that accompanies it. You chose the women, the bottle, and the drugs, and ignored the person you're only just now realizing who's company you crave most in the world, who's presence would soothe this storm you've found yourself in. The other half is like mate, I know exactly what you're going through. Your mother is dying, you're spiraling, the alcohol abuse and drug addiction no doubt caused by the stress and anguish of losing one of the most important women in your life and the one person that can cheer you up, or at the very least listen to you and hear you, is living their own life, doing their own thing. It's a tough one buddy.

You heartbreaker, you... Wow. He tried so hard not to crumble on the phone, but he did. His heart broke. That's some good acting.

Leo is such a great actor, totally nailed that scene. You heartbreaker 😢

Leo is one of the best actors around at the moment. This scene the Paris cafe, the Paris apartment. He doesn't even have to speak and you can feel the emotion.

Such a heartbreaking scene but so informative. Dex's tender heart, emotional fragility, vulnerability and insecurities on full display 😢 Self-doubt(thinking that he is only looks and no substance), fear of disappointing the people he loves, fear of failure, fear of getting hurt. Explains his life choices up to this point -why he avoids serious relationships, takes the easy route, engages in unfulfilling career opportunities that come to him without much effort. Explains why Emma could not detach herself from him despite everything that happened. She sees his goodness, his fragility. Amazing work! Hope to see Leo and Ambika in a love story in which no one dies :)

To all you Performing Arts majors out there, this is a masterclass in acting.

The emotion in this scene is remarkable. What a wonderful actor.

This show really did highlight how we as men sometimes take a while to grow up! He was so lost as a young man and it takes many of us years to get it right but it does happen

Read the book and seen the 2011 film like 15 times each. What this version does... Well, Dexter. He is THE MAIN character. I only realised it now, because Leo did his job like a Master. It's literally impossible to take your eyes off of him. He's living every single moment. The greatest achievement of the adaptation. Just astonishing.

My fav young star of these years. He has this natural subtlety, fragility, and purity in his performances, especially in his emotional scenes. He is just soooooo good at this

This show was a 10...watched it in one night. My gosh ....the acting was so moving....i never cry for tv shows but this show evoked so much emotion. Really well done 👏 👏👏👏

Such a well written, beautifully flawed character. He makes so many mistakes and you get upset at him but you understand why. And when he finally gets his act together and things seemingly go his way, tragedy strikes once again. It’s so sad.

Lawd this was so rough! I felt for Dexter so bad but at the same time Emma had a life to live and wouldn’t always be there to pick him up.

Give this man his goddamn Emmy

It’s just the way he kept touching his heart

Haven’t seen acting like this in a long time - incredible.

Okay, his facial and body acting are awesome, but let's also talk about his voice acting. I meam, I could listen to this video without seeing his face and I would still feel what he goes through. For me, the most impressive part or this is the way his voice shakes and goes thin.

God. This scene was so heartbreaking.

Leo’s performances are so raw and seem to come so organic. No need for additional music or film tricks to immerse you into the story and get you emotional 😭

this scene is what solidified this series for me as a work of art, truly so impressive

Just watched all 14 episodes, bawling 😢

Totally and utterly loved this series, tugged at every emotional cord in the body and the heart ache and heart break in the last moments of episode 13 and all of the last episode was so true to real life. I can not say enough good things about the performances or the show and despite knowing what’s going to come, I will watch it again one day for the power of it. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

This scene really broke my heart. He was hurting so much he needed his best friend.

From all the shows I’ve seen there hasn’t been a character I felt so bad for except dexter for an entire show.From his first scene to his last scene I felt bad for him. Idk why but he just looked sad. He looked sad/not happy with life. The only time I could see him truly be happy was scenes with his mom or Emma. It’s as if he couldn’t breath without them.

This is not Acting this is living the moment and he is so good at it !!!

I cry when he cries, what a talented actor

that scene is the proof that Leo is a great actor. He was perfect here. Sooo realistic , he seems desperatly in pain. Great job Leo, you made this scene a mastepiece. Good to have such a great actor these days.

This scene and one of many got me. This actor is amazing

you're the heartbreaker in this scene, Leo

Loved this scene. So raw and emotional and you could see in that moment his real feelings for Emma. Sane in the Paris apartment scene when he finds out that Emma is with someone.

his acting in this scene was phenomenal - i literally felt like i was there.

this scene and when he's talking to Em in paris about his stepdaughter crying for mom KILLED MEEEE

Future nominee of Oscars! Hope you find the role of your life! Look forward to your future performances!

Perfectly performed by Leo as Dexter an amasing actor

you can feel his heartache

I loved this scene he is a fabulous actor. This scene was so sad he was desperate to speak to Emma..& the way he performs..bloody good actor.

This scene right here sent me. I was destroyed and in awe of his acting.

There is so much about this series that has got to me in way no other has, but this scene just sticks. I tear up for his character but it hurts down deeper as I, as I am sure others have been here before. Trying to fix things after a major f-up, just trying after it's over, just needing to hear that person's voice and knowing it is not going to happen. Years flood back.

Such a good actor . He really stood out in this movie

Leo is a really talented actor, this scene was impressive, I hope he succeeds in his career

The day I realised I'd lost my first love, I couldn't sleep all night. After he hangs up, the feeling is so real that I can almost touch it.

I know this feeling very well 😞 when u want to run away from ur problems by calling someone u really love and trust! It’s just very painful cuz not all of us have that person like emma💔

I was an emotional wreck on this scene. I was angry with Dexy but I was with him in the pain, when Em didn't pick up I was in shambles! So good!

this is the first scene that made me cry. i have had problems with alcohol and addiction, and i could really relate to this moment and the context of the scene (ie the visit to his parents home)

Ever I've watched TV and I watch quite a lot of it, this is hands-down one of the best scenes I've seen in a long time. Bravo, Leo Woodall!👏👏👏

This scene completely destroyed me, so well acted, I felt it in every fibre of my being 😢❤💔

Watching the series a second time… and not over the first time yet.. Dexter .. you heart breaker you…😢

I WILL NEVER GET OVER THEM.

The best thing ive ever watched was this show! Great company I was hooked!!!

Leo’s acting is very natural . Best actor

This guy can cryyyy

this scene crushes my heart

couldnt revisit the series because it broke me and I'm still recovering. it has been 8 days and counting :(

Get him an emmy !!!!!!!!!!!

"you heartbreaker, you" 😭😭😭

you heartbreaker, you.

Give them their emmys!!!!

My heart broke for him in this scene 💔

Leo is such a good actor man

it is like that one normal people scene

You bet give him Nominations 🎉🎉🎉🎉😍♥️

LEOS RENT WAS DUE

Definitely Oscar worthy acting. I cannot hear and see enough of him. Right down to the way he takes small sips of drink. A beautifully elegant actor.

Absolutely amazing, can’t wait to see more from him! This scene destroyed me. I feel his pain through my entire body.

Great acting by Leo

im crying all over again😭😭

This scene was so heartbreaking 😢

Deux étoiles montantes dans le milieu cinématographique anglais très très belle prestation dans one day un pur régal

Someone it my hands off so I can stop watching these clips, I’ve been crying nonstop and this feels like a breakup.

A interpretação do Leo nas cenas fortes é surreal. Ele é muito, mais muito bom rm sua interpretação. Essa cena é destruidora de corações.

my heart broke at this scene:((

This episode broke me.

The perfect portrayal of someone who has lived a "charmed life" and just realized it...omg Leo, so good! 👏👏❤️

I love Dex is a great actor . He makes me cry .

This scene just made me go back and see the rest of the show. I stopped bc I got frustrated that they never get together!

Damn. He is good.

This scene is just a blust of emotions loved it

Thanks, I’m crying again. 4 months later. This scene is just too much. 😭 2:59

Astounding actor !

This was so good to watch. Reminds me a lot of Paul Mescal scene in Normal People. Terrific performance.

His acting is Oscar worthy.

Exceptional actor! ❤❤

A very touching scene😢😢😢😢

These two always really only loved each other in this beautiful story. 😢❤ 💔

This reminds me of that scene with Paul Mescal in Normal People🥺🥺. I think in episode 2 or 3

Absolutely fantastic acting.

stellar performance 🎭 from all episodes of this series but episode 12-13 were heavy. Episode 14 was heartbreaking 💔 and Leo did Dexter justice. 👏

Ok, i don't know who is going to read this or who is going to need this, but i really have to say it because i can relate to it somehow. So, in episode where Em and Dex go to Greece and they are skinny-dipping, he tells Em to be something causal and stuff. I feel so relieved that Emma said no, cause i know the difficult it can be for someone to say "no" to someone they obviously love. Something happened to me where my friend (who i love), asked me the proposal "hey, do you want to be something casual? no strings and all that" i told him i needed time; i needed time to reflect on the possibilities like: 1- If i say "yes", what would happen? and i instantly thought, ok, him being with other girls maybe and stuff...do i even want that? no thanks. 2-If i say "no" our friendship would split up? will i lose him if i say no?; the other way around too: what if i say "no" and the friendship does not split up. I took the second possibility and...our friendship do not split up, we still remain friends. I had fear when i made the decision one year ago, but it was the best i could do even with fear i had of losing him for that. Please, stay true to yourself, if you are living this type of situation just think if you are comfortable, obviously you are going to be afraid of losing your friend, but remember, if you are important to them, they are not going to leave you just like that, cause that speaks lots of who he/she is as a person and what actually is important to them. ❤

It’s so well acted ❤

Leo was incredible in this scene. ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢

He looks like Michael Pitt, it's uncanny!

Leo Woodall I was not familiar with your game.

Maybe a stupid question; did he talk into the answer machine, did Emma ever hear this? Thanks!

This was so spot on it hurt
