I honestly think he's less athletic than the general population with one month training. It's even more hilarious watching him try to teach the lead actress how to move because she clearly moves a lot better than him. His acting is terrible too. I really wonder how he got the job?

He played "The Knight of Flowers" on Game Of Thrones, a highly skilled (in tournaments) knight who happens to be gay. He carries that well, mainly because they never actually showed him fighting, just talking about it, and weapons/armor can be considered an equalizer. his greatest battle on screen he won against the odds-on favorite "The Mountain" by riding a mare in heat which made his opponent's horse unruly, which was punished by The Mountain cutting his horses head off with a single stroke.
He's horrible in Iron Fist. The Defenders was a little better because the rest of the cast gave him shit constantly
Anyhow, I'm guessing the success of GoT and the nature of THAT character is what put him in line for IF.
