If Kyle Hebert instantly feels like your coolest best friend – and he does – then Yuri Lowenthal instantly feels like your most famous best friend. He wields a professionally polished charm that would sit comfortably on a Hollywood A – list celebrity; a charm that says ‘I am an extremely busy man, and I only just managed to fit you into my schedule; but now that I’ve met you, I’m glad that I did’. That said, Tom Cruise never had the cajones to wear a t shirt with the word ‘geek’ emblazoned across it.
