Well, I was thinking "Damn Good Acting Scenes" but I will take the other options also! xD xD
OK, I want to keep this list short, and I don't want to include his well-known characters. Also, the clips I wish to include in this post don't exist on the internet separately, so I have to share them myself 🙃🙃 and bc Tumblr doesn't let me add more than one video to this post, I'll be adding links and forwarding you to the said clips.
Steeltown Murders (2023). This brief flashback scene almost gave me a heart attack when I first watched the show. The subtle change of expression, those enlarging eyes, and fading of that forced smile were all perfect! You don't need to see him shout or hit her on screen to know that that poor woman was scared stiff of him.
The Way (2024). As a cinephile, I think crying scenes are quite significant to measure an actor's ability. I usually find them either exaggerated or unrealistic. Aneurin had many scenes that required him to cry until now, and among them, I find this the most realistic and heartbreaking.
Ironclad (2011). I'm not a big fan of action movies and seldom watch fighting scenes with great interest. Typically, the protagonists swing their swords, emerge victorious, and say cool lines and go on. In this scene, Thomas Marshal does that exact thing. Even though the writers obviously wanted to make him an emotionally broken war veteran, who is a warning against romanticizing fighting and killing, they still turned him into a stereotypical crusader hero. And what he was supposed to represent is better understood from Guy's introspection after the battle. I don't really enjoy their lines but Aneurin's use of body language was excellent.
Citadel (2012). Another crying scene 😢 but this time a lot more subtle. Here, Tommy, just like Dan (The Way), is a father who faces an extraordinary situation which places his family into a grave danger. He looks very vulnerable, and the baby looking clueless and content in his arms draws a nice contrast. The way he holds on to his daughter clearly indicates that she is the source of what little strength he's got. We only see a single teardrop forming and falling as he speaks since he is too tired to do anything more. Watch the movie with your emotional support friends.
Barkskins (2020). Too poetic to describe. Excellent acting and writing.

Watched Steeltown Murders with Phillp Glenister. It’s a BBC drama based on the true story of the murders of 3 young girls in Wales in the 70s and how over twenty years later the detectives used DNA to identify the killer. I thought it was really atmospheric + brilliantly done with great performances all round.

Michael Sheen's The Way echoes Tata steelworks reality
When Michael Sheen was filming clashes between steelworkers and riot police in his home town Port Talbot, little did he know 2,000 jobs at its steelworks would be at risk by the time it premiered.
"We had no idea when we were developing the story what would be happening at the steelworks when this came out," he said.
"It's incredibly unfortunate that the story we've written has come bizarrely very close to the truth."
Speaking ahead of The Way's premiere at Port Talbot's Reel Cinema, he insisted the three-part BBC drama - originally conceived in 2016 - was a fictional story and not about the Tata steelworks.
"But obviously, knowing the town, knowing the relationship the town has with the steelworks, knowing the insecurities and the anxieties that have always been there in my lifetime around employment and work there - that was part of what drew us to setting the story in this town," said Sheen, 55, who both directed and starred in the drama.
He said Port Talbot's steelworks was the "spiritual centre of the town" and "part of our DNA" and the news of job losses had been "devastating".
The Way is written by James Graham, created by Sheen, Graham and documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis and stars a number of Welsh actors.
The cast includes Steffan Rhodri (Steeltown Murders and Gavin & Stacey), Mali Harries (Hinterland), Sophie Melville (The Pact), Callum Scott Howells (It's a Sin) and Mark Lewis Jones (Men Up and Keeping Faith).
Episode one sees growing concern over the future of the steelworks, leading to protests, which later turn to riots.
Some take to the streets to join the fight, others frantically try to escape or hide in their homes as helicopters fly overhead.
The streets become a warzone and the town is locked down by armed police.
With Port Talbot facing an uncertain future, could life imitate art?
"It's not like we're saying 'this is what you should do as a result of what's going on' by any means, but obviously I have huge sympathy for the steelworkers," said Sheen.
"In no way is this a blueprint to how people should react, but you don't know do you? I have no idea how people are going to react.
"People will try and be as resourceful and as positive about it as they possibly can I'd imagine because that is the spirit of the people in this place - but at the same time you don't know and people are very angry as well."
For Sheen, "everything" is political.
A long-term champion of the NHS, in 2015 he was applauded for delivering a passionate speech to a pro-NHS march in Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, and he is currently in rehearsal for a National Theatre production about NHS founder Aneurin Bevan.
In 2019, he sold property to bankroll the Homeless World Cup in Cardiff when funding for the £2m project fell through at the last moment.
In 2020, the actor, who was born in Newport and raised in Port Talbot, said he had handed back his OBE so he could air his views about the monarchy without being a "hypocrite".
In 2021, he said he had turned himself into a "not-for-profit" actor, using the money he earned from acting to fund projects.
He has been vocal on a range of issues from children in care to Welsh independence.
Was he trying to make a political statement in The Way?
"Everything is connected, everything happens for a reason, things are the way they are in this town and any town not just by chance, it's because of choices and various things... I think inevitably this was going to be a political story," he said.
"Part of the reason why we wanted to set it here... we needed to feel there was a great sense of discontent amongst a lot of people in the place, a lot of anxiety, a lot of feeling of not having their voices heard."
He said when people were made to feel that they were not being listened to and did not matter "that sense of frustration and anger can boil over".
Sheen made his name as an actor initially in the theatre before winning acclaim as a screen actor playing real people from Tony Blair, David Frost, Kenneth Williams and Chris Tarrant to lead roles in series including Good Omens, Masters of Sex and Staged.
In 2011, he directed and starred in a 72-hour epic theatrical production of The Passion, which moved around different locations across Port Talbot drawing huge crowds and critical acclaim.
It is perhaps unsurprising that he would choose to make his TV directorial debut in the town too.
"[The Way] was definitely very personal," he said.
"I feel like I knew what I was filming and I felt anchored and connected to what was going on."
Sheen now lives near Port Talbot with his partner Anna Lundberg and their two children Lyra and Mabli.
"It's somewhere I inevitably keep coming back to and it's an endless source of inspiration," he said of the town.
"It's the source of all my imaginative explorations really because it's my home.
"It's where I grew up, it's where all the most important things happened to me, it's where my family still lives, it's where I now live again and as I've got older I've realised more and more how important the beginning of my life was and all the opportunities people gave to me."
One of those people who gave him opportunities was Godfrey Evans, a drama teacher who helped shaped generations of actors through the West Glamorgan Youth Theatre and died in November, aged 82.
At the premiere across the road from the town's Aberavon Beach, Sheen dedicated the screening to both his former teacher and Port Talbot's steelworkers.
What are his hopes for those in his home town currently fearing for their jobs?
"Particularly at a time like this when there's so much anxiety and so much concern about the future it is so important to feel like you're supported and you can talk about what's going on and to find connection with other people who are maybe going through the same things," he said.
"We wish everyone the best and hope there's plenty of support for people in the future."

⭐️ 🌙
⭐️ current favorite tv show?
This is such aa hard one to answer because I don't really watch a lot of TV - I'm based in the UK and the show I most recently watched that I loved was Steeltown Murders which was a drama about three murder cases from the 1970s in South Wales that went unsolved until the DNA evidence was tested again YEARS later. It was so good!
🌙 favorite book?
Of all time? Such a hard choice - but probably To Kill A Mockingbird. I read it in English class in school and it had SUCH a profound impact on me!
Fun ask game!

Favourite colour: it's hard to pick because I have a lot of love for colours. My bedroom is red, but I have pink and purple devices (phone, ipad and smartwatch), and I tend to gravitate towards greys and blues in my outfits (maybe I am a secret Kryze sibling I don't know).
Currently reading: Loveless by Alice Oseman. Really good so far and definitely a massive improvement on their first novel Solitaire which I read earlier this year.
Last film saw in the theatre: Across the Spider-Verse. Which was an interesting experience because I think the staff forgot about our screening because it didn't start until 15 mins later than the scheduled time and it was only after my friend went to tell someone that they realised. This has never happened to me before.
Last series: well... there was a BBC series called Steeltown Murders which is based on a real event. Currently I am working through Bridgerton series 2 (I forgot how good this series was).
Last song: It's a Sin by Pet Shop Boys. Honestly a massive banger and perfect for Pride Month. By the way if you have not seen the Russell T Davies series, please watch it. It is funny, heartbreaking and some of the best TV you will ever see.
Craving: poké bowl. I don’t eat fish but the sushi rice is always great. However it takes bloody ages to prepare.
Tea or coffee: I am trying to cut down my coffee intake so I mostly drink either green tea or camomile.
Currently working on: The Ruins of the Day which is an Obi-Wan Kenobi (tv) AU where Satine is alive. It's coming together but I know the second half will be tough to write down. Also @sendpseuds made a good point yesterday about how Obi-Wan just leaves Vader and then senses Luke is in trouble (am I allowed to borrow that edit? Obs will credit). I am going to have to edit a lot of episode 4 because... well... I can.
Some ideas floating in my head and it's not necessarily for the benefit of anyone but me including some minor one-shots for The Maroon Saga, I have been meaning to write the smutty precursor to Sweet Disposition (which I am considering some heavy edits on) and potentially some summer smut much like The Salt on Her Skin. I have brain dump pages in my bullet journal but obviously these are not set in stone. I do also want to do some sort of fairy tale au but I have no idea what
Oh and I am doing to major edits on Infinity and Beyond, which is my most popular fic (though looking back I am questioning why).
Okay so thanks to @ailsacraigfannishness for the tag.
Challenging: @sendpseuds
