1. Classic Tiger, i.e. the blank stare. (This is his signature look. Used in 90% of situations.) What is going on here? How is this character feeling? Rather than spoonfeed this information to the audience, Tiger maintains an air of mystery and allows us to exercise our minds.

2. Classic Tiger, but make it flirty. A subtle but meaningful variation on his classic expression, this look is effectively the "blank stare" but with the mouth turned upwards in a smile-like position. Primarily reserved for romantic/flirting scenes with women specifically.

@clementine_ford I think if you're going to be the elected leader of a country, you should be held to slightly higher standards and expectations than the general populace. If your country and people are in crisis, then no, you don't get a holiday at that time. Seems like Basic Leadership 101.

Some may consider the above range to be "limited" but I would argue that in the hands of a director who knows what they're working with, these expressions can be used very effectively. (E.g. War, and to a lesser but still entertaining extent, Munna Michael.)
