He did it in Wolf too and now that you've mentioned it, he does do it a lotlike in everything.
Damn you! I could have lived the rest of my life happily if it weren't for that revelation.

My thoughts exactly!

I think the better question is who gives a beep?

Yup, 5b4I saw the Spader Head Tilt in Ultron! hard to Miss.
I love his head tilt. Adds Charisma to him! Especially for like Reddington, you know he is listening to youand as soon as he puts his head straight again, he shoots you, or has Dembe shoot you..lol

I noticed that too. In fact I pictured Raymond Reddington the entire movie. I haven't seen him in anything else lately so I thought the head tilt was a " Red thing". I also found it strange that a robot would cock his head.

My gf is specialized in visual impairment, and she told me that blind kids tend to tilt their heads to get better focus on their vision, if they hold their head straight, it's blurrier. Now, that could be why Spader does it, but it also could be simple mannerisms. I guess only he knows.. But yea, there's actual real life examples of tilting your head to get better, sharper vision when you're visually impaired.
edit: she did add, mostly kids tilt their heads that way, adults usually don't so it's most likely just his mannerism. Oh well.

The head tilt can possibly be a case of torticollis that was never properly corrected as an infant.

May be dull for you, but I still see great acting. He uses so much facial expression, his eyes, and of course his tremendous line reading whenever he actsyou sir are obsessing with the head tilt and missing everything else that is going on.

Yeah Skipper that's why he got the Emmys and other awards past decade right?

beep off. People are allowed to disagree. Reporting you as a troll because you're a Nazi.

You're pathetic, not James.

Dear guy, I've watched every James Spader thing there is. And just after Boston Legal Spader declined. His Robert California, his role on "Race", his WN Bilbo on "Lincoln", Raymond Reddington it's all the same guy. Head tilts, penguin posture, mouth twitches. He's not acting. There is no emotion to him anymore. It's pathetic. And that guy used to be my favorite actor, ever.

You are entitled to your opinion, just be sure not to confuse it with fact.

Spader's whole acting nowadays is reduced to head tilting and mouth twitches. Incredibly dull acting.

Bats are not actually blind, but, anyway, I have heard someone say this before, but why would that make him tilt his head? Besides, i haven't specifically watched for it, but I bet he does it when he has his glasses on, too. It's just a mannerism. Everyone has them and that's one of his.

I think the head tilt that Spader does has something to do with the fact that he's "blind as a bat" (well, almost).

He does have a nice voice. It's the voice that I first picked on and saidthat's James Spader. Which is the reason why I'm on this board. I came here to confirm my suspicion.

I never get tired of his voice. I could listen to it all day.

how else would you figure out that James Spader was playing the character?
That unmistakable honey-drip of a voice, perhaps? But I love the head tilt and pretty much everything about James Motherbleepin' Spader! (Okay, his actual middle name is Todd, but)

Oh, come on! If Ultron didn't do the head tilt, how else would you figure out that James Spader was playing the character?

Aren't there one of avengers production staff noticing this, and ask him not to do the head tilt as an ultron? Lol

I'm not surprised that he does the head tilt as Ultron since he does it a lot on the Blacklist and Boston Legal.

No problem because I don't think you noticed it enough though
