Joe Laponis is very good here

Joe Laponis as Gaffer has some moments that stayed in my mind. There are small expressions that make the character feel more real. The acting feels natural, and I can follow the feeling very easily. I think this work helps the movie a lot, even when the story is busy. The timing is good, and the emotion comes at the right moments. It is not too loud, but I still remembered the performance after watching. It is one of the reasons the movie stayed interesting for me.
