For the fans
Watch closely. Juba never says it all.
Spot the gold socks
He never auditions without them. Count how many times they show up in Episode 1.
The silent prayer
Before every audition he closes his eyes and says something no one hears. Not yet.
Watch his hands
When he is embarrassed, he touches his ears. When he is brave, he lets them show.
