Found this gem in Battle for New York, Part 1. It's easy to catch Mikey's look of intense longing and separation anxiety. But it's even harder to catch a very brief look of the same expression on Leatherhead's face just before he leaves, especially if you're watching the episode on a lower resolution display.

Only parts of Leatherhead's face really show clear emotion&mdash;mainly his eyes and the very side edges of his mouth. But he still has pretty clear body language, especially his head movements and his hands:



To me, scenes like this highlight just how polite, sensitive, courteous and ethical he can be, or at least prefers to be. But since he now seems to have complete control over his temper, this side now dominates his personality, and he's one of the kindest, gentlest characters in the series. I mean, he fights when he has to, and he fights courageously. But the rest of the time, he's a great big softy who wears his heart on his sleeve. He complements Mikey's personality so well.
