I know you are joking but, in the chaos and confusion people hitting each other and dying due to it wouldn't have been uncommon. If you slow down you're a target, so if you collide with someone, yeah, you are going to get shot. Or shelled.
He is one of the sweetest blokes I’ve ever met. Accidentally ran into him right outside of the Arlington theatre at SBIFF last weekend and he was SO patient and kind with my rambling about his performance. Great hugger too! Absolutely deserving of whatever success is ahead of him!
Well exactly! Why is the climax in the trailer? It happens a lot these days and it’s not cool. To be fair, before this happened I got a bit excited. ”He’s gonna run isn't he! Like in the trailer!” But I guess that's what they want when they make the trailers. I bought a ticket didn't I.
i don't think that this scene in the trailer was a mistake. when i saw it in the trailer i didn't really care, i just saw a man running along the frontline for a good shot for the trailer. in the movie i felt this scene and it became much more powerful to me
D Tipps to be fair, i don’t think it spoils a thing. it feels SOOOO SO different and more powerful in the actual context of the movie to the point that showing it here doesn’t ruin anythjng
I love that he’s “unknown”. Because throughout the entire movie I was loving his character so much. A new face that did an amazing job and really immersed me in the film.
You're right. At the start the start of the film the very first thing I said was "I haven't seen the two actors before." But just like what Sam Mendez said in the Behind the scenes, he casted two actors relatively new to the game because he wanted the audience to "get to know them" along the journey and he was right! from the first scenes I'm like curious with scho and Blake and then at the end of the film I was full of awe and praise for the two characters especially George Mackay's.
In Britain he isn’t unknown, i lit grow up watching him and he was been in other movies and wars movies like private peaceful he lit analysed his amazing acting
Saw the movie in theaters earlier today and started simultaneously laughing with my friend because we were wondering, “Did the dude he ran into just die or something?” Come to find this video and comment and am happy I’m not the only one who noticed haha
I didn’t understand why the movie was getting so many oscars and nominations since I thought it was just another basic Wolrd war movie,but i saw it and I was soooo wrong,that movie is a masterpiece, I was literally quavering at the end of the movie,it is fantastic and deserves all the praise that it is getting
@@palathaxx There's certainly been a shift in war movies. In the past they were much glorifying war, and now thery'e showing the reality of it all. I think its brilliant, and its how it should've been from the start.
To the people who are saying he’s not an unknown: yes, he’s been in movies before, but the general public doesn’t really know him. He isn’t a Marvel movie star or Brad Pitt or Will Smith or Jennifer Lawrence. Even people who don’t know anything about movies, they are aware of those names and people like them. They aren’t aware of him. But hopefully, that will change soon cause he’s incredible.
I'm on the opposite side. I actually wanna watch this movie coz he is in it. Coz he is a superb actor. But yes. He is quite unknown. I fell in love with his acting after "Where Hands Touch".
I kept thinking throughout the film that one of the main characters would accidentally stab the other with their bayonet while running through the trenches! Talk about too close for comfort!
intense79nick I think it’s cos he did bump into him really hard and that coupled with the nervousness of the moment must’ve put him to shock and made him dizzy which is why he didn’t get up.
While not a 'spoiler' they really shouldn't be using this clip to promote the movie. It's the culmination of our hero's journey. Literally his last push. It's arguably the most powerful moment of the film and one of the most technically impressive shots. It has such weight in the movie. Here, without context, it's wasted and only spoils the moment for those who do want to watch the film.
Thank you for saying how the story culminates. Now I can take a break to go get a drink from the lobby during this scene. I wouldn't have know I this earlier.
@@muserock2367 haha. Fuck off. So the problem is that I mentioned it was towards the end and not the fact that you've seen the scene? You know what. Your fault for looking up info on a movie you are interested in seeing. I regret nothing.
Thank you bro. I was amazed by all the people who had played a soldier. Because even though you were playing as an 'extra' it was believable and well executed.
Also that means he has good parents, I mean I don't know anything about him, I'm just guessing, as almost every celebrity who was ruined by fame, had a family issues, Mcauley Calkin, Aaron Carter etc.
Man, this film. My favorite one from 2019 and honestly one of my favorites that I’ve ever seen. It was an absolute pleasure to see a masterpiece like this in a theater. I really won’t forget that experience. Showed the film to my family a week ago on TV... it was the only time I’ve ever seen my father cry over a film, and one of the only times I’ve ever seen him cry. Truly moving and beyond powerful. The cinematography was on another level, it would have been an outrage if Roger Deakins didn’t win his Oscar for that.
So glad George is finally getting the recognition he deserves - love so many of his films, it’s really nice to see more people, in terms of casual movie goers, critics and Hollywood appreciating his talent!
Never heard of it, so I'mma have to agree that he's pretty unknown, lol. If a large majority of movie goers don't know you, you're sadly "unknown." Can imagine that's just sadly the name of the game for actors/actresses. But now more people will be able to show more love to his past work, so it's still a major win for him.
I thought that was strange too but it doesn't really ruin the immersion because he actually could have just been pretending to be dead so he didnt have to charge.
I knew him before this movie and loved his work for a long time and just wanted to say he is such a talented actor and such a sweet,kind and down to earth soul, I’m so happy that his career is finally about to take off, he deserves it ❤️
Yeah, that's the best part of the movie. The thing that really sold the scene to me. The rest of the running sequence felt like it could've been planned, but two separate full-on collisions seems like it would've been way to difficult to execute on purpose. They couldn't swap the main actor with a stuntman and they couldn't risk severely hurting the main actor either. Not to mention the fact that both of those colliding soldiers would've had to be stuntmen as well. They couldn't use regular extras for that. So you'd need to swap the main actor with a stuntman, make the stuntman perfectly hit another stuntman (out of hundreds of random extras) and then hit yet another stuntman (out of hundreds of random extras) *THEN* swap to the main actor without the audience noticing. All of that would've needed to happen with perfect timing and precision. It would've been *IMPOSSIBLE* to do safely on purpose.
I met him a while back in london and stupidly forgot to take a picture with him, he's so nice and lovely and i have a major crush on him, best day of my life!
I love that it’s one take. The end scene was probably my favourite when he was running on the field with all those men and explosions going off but the fact he runs into people makes it so much more better and realistic. I love that Sam didn’t use big stars as the main characters and put them into minor characters like Colin Firth,Benedict Cumberbatch,Andrew Scott and Richard Madden where placed amazingly but glad they didn’t take over the film
he deserves an academy award for his performance in 1917 if he was a big name like leonardo dicaprio, there would have been no question about it. the oscars are just rigged towards famous people... its about money and fame rather than talent. if a movie has the name 'tarantino' on it, it always wins.
not really arguing your point, but have you seen all the other movies that got nominated for Best Actor? Several people, rigged or not, are getting snubbed simply out of how much talent was displayed this year
Picking Leo who has only won 1 acadamey awards after years of fantastic films and hard work wasn't really a good choice, I do get your point though and every knows that the Oscars are political
It's the first movie I've ever watched where I feel like I'm with the characters on the adventure. It's so well shot like one continuous thing. Brilliant.
@Sam C to give them their due, the american money, supplies and troops helped break the resolve of the german empire quicker but their defeat was inevitable. The yanks like to take the credit for winning a war in which they only lost 50,000 men in combat to, as opposed to the near 2 million native british and colonial casualties and the million French army casualties.
@Sam C I never said the allies would lose but they certainly helped end the war quicker. By the early months of 2017, France was largely on its last legs, with the war ravaging a lot of its land and many of its army killed due to poor strategies and decisions (like wearing extremely visible/noticeable clothing), Russia was having problems with an untrained and unequipped army plus a revolution that ousted Tsar Nicholas. Britain was the only nation truly keeping the war alive and they would have kept fighting to the point where they would cause Germany to strike a ceasefire. But without the US, the war likely would have ended in 1919.
Actor: “That was a mistake that was not meant to happen” Jimmy: *gasp* “really”! (All while spending the prior 3 minutes before that setting up for the story of there being a mistake) I just find it super funny that you can tell how planned out these shows are, cool none the less
does this guy really nvr been cast in any film b4? idk(since im an asian) but his face looks like he doesn't belong in this era. he looks so cute in the uniform
Just saw it yesterday. Mendes has elevated the genre with this absolute masterpiece. I loved Parasite but this should have won the Oscar for best picture. The level of craftsmanship is incomparable.
@@soph5707 I'm not sure you understand how the categories work. There is a difference between supporting actor and lead actor. MacKay would have been competing only with De Niro, who didn't even get nominated, so I don't know why you would bring up The Irishman in the first place
The ending scene when he sits down and rest, while looking at the amazing view and neuter, that scene was so emotional and quite and just peacefull.... It was so awesome....
Wow I love that, getting knocked down makes it so much more real and makes the running seem so urgent I love this movie over a year later from seeing it in theater lol
I've seen war movies, but I've never seen a war movie presented like a Remarkable Masterpiece i.e 1917 I got emotional and speechless in the end. This movie and George Mackey both deserve the Oscar!
all of a sudden I've seen George McKay in 5 movies over 2 years, and I wasn't even aware of it happening 🌠 His star's on the rise and frankly he's an *amazing intensely emotional actor who gives fully heartfelt and-or deep-down-wound portrayals* Remind me please of the last actor who did that. Let me add, I've now watched a couple of his interviews and he shows a high intelligence (emotionally + intellectually) of the process + intracies of acting + filmmaking. He's clearly in the moment & very responsive. George stay on track, don't join social media, even with an anonymous account. Keep onwards but *do not burn yourself out* Do only 2 or 3 projects per year. Read + read, stay fit + healthy, be with family + friends, get practice + coaching with experts + academia, and read more. You stand out as a *very gifted young man who will have decades of success* ahead 🌠
Jimmy Fallon never seems into his interviews. He doesn't come across as a genuine guy while interviewing. This movie is fantastic! Please see it if you haven't
Those two falls and hits made that scene way more realistic. Really cool that they kept it in there because that’s a lot more like what would’ve probably really happened in that scenario. There is just a wave of people attacking in that moment and he’s got to run through them. Very believable and very nicely done.
It gives more action in a scene that otherwise would've just been a straight boring shot without much real suspense. Falling down twice in that hell and getting up really sells the urgency and fragility of his mission.
i just came home from the movie theatre my friends were all sobbing i cant i freaking love him so humble he did such a great performance now im totally invested (2 am in the morning) im gonna watch the behind the scenes shots
He is relatively unknown with his most popular films, Captain Fantastic and Pride, taking $21.3M and $16.7M reflectively, though he has been in a number of movies since 2017, even starring alongside Daisy Ridley in Ophelia. 1917 is definitely a big jump forward for George, and I couldn't be more proud of him.
Not an unknown. Had a killer part in the series on Hulu with James Franco. Played a guy from Kentucky in the series 11.22.63 and really nailed the accent so it’s cool to see this happen too for him!! 👍👍
The first dude that bumped into him will forever be in Movie history. “Kids open your books! There was a guy that accidentally messed up this big big scene!”
Tips: if you haven’t seen the movie, and haven’t seen this clip, DONT. Dont watch the trailer as well. One of the best scene I’ve seen shouldn’t be in the trailer. I was lucky I didnt see it and went straight to the film. My god what a climactic scene.
That scene gave me chills. The whole movie was simply fantastic. Definitely up there as one of my favorite war movies. Beautiful story. Incredible directing and filming. It was worth seeing.
So beautiful. He was like, running, then he ran into someone, then he kept running. Amazing, just completely awe inspiring. Give him a nobel prize for this.
Dan Witzke - yeah tell me about it! I spent so much time watching RUclips uploads of people talking about everything that went wrong with the final season but let's be honest...GOT really started to go downhill after S4. I did really enjoy S5 and S6 however they weren't quite as good as the previous seasons once the show runners ran out of book material. It has been cathartic watching those videos. I was watching another interview with Dean Charles-Chapman where he is promoting 1917 and he said that he "lost interest" in GOT after Tommen died and he stopped working on the show but some people think he actually did continue watching the show to the end (because why would you not....i mean really?) and it was just him putting a wall up (no pun intended) so he didn't have to say what he really thought of the final season since literally the entire world was utterly disappointed 😞 in it.
Crazy this guy wasn’t nominated for an Oscar
I know. Maybe the voters wanted to but didn't want to exclude the other actor. They would have split the vote.
@@lifeissweet9826 Having watched the movie, definitely the two actors would have been competing in separate categories. So no way they could have split the vote.

- How did our great-grandad died in the war?
- Well he bumped against a guy who was running the wrong way.

He did what i prob would have done "oh I'm injured! I dont have to die in this charge"
He was actually known before 1917. Great young actor. Has a natural emotional face.

Oh my gosh I wish I could meet him. I would probably make a fool of myself though, I'm so crazy about him right now.
Looks like you're not the only person who accidentally ran into him
I remember thinking “did the first guy he run into just die?” I mean he falls but never gets up.
I'm thinking the same thing but I assume it's because he might have thought that he messed up the scene so he was embarrassed.
Perhaps he was knocked unconscious
@@tylerrosser3687 LMFAO imagine that actually happened
He didn’t mess up, the actor stated that the ram made him very dizzy and he just couldn’t get back up
In my head the way I explained it to myself was that he was under a lot of stress and was scared, then when he was ran into he went into shock/panic
It's a bit annoying that the clip everyone is becoming familiar with is pretty much the climax of the film.
I mean it was in all of the trailers...
Well exactly! Why is the climax in the trailer? It happens a lot these days and it’s not cool.
To be fair, before this happened I got a bit excited. ”He’s gonna run isn't he! Like in the trailer!”
But I guess that's what they want when they make the trailers. I bought a ticket didn't I.
i don't think that this scene in the trailer was a mistake. when i saw it in the trailer i didn't really care, i just saw a man running along the frontline for a good shot for the trailer. in the movie i felt this scene and it became much more powerful to me

He's actually been in heaps of brilliant films before this. You should check out his other stuff. Marrowbone is really good.

Yes de caprio would have been nominated. But George is on his way now.
So. Fcking. True. Your comment was honey to my soul.
not really arguing your point, but have you seen all the other movies that got nominated for Best Actor? Several people, rigged or not, are getting snubbed simply out of how much talent was displayed this year
Picking Leo who has only won 1 acadamey awards after years of fantastic films and hard work wasn't really a good choice, I do get your point though and every knows that the Oscars are political
He’s amazing and I’m glad that he is finally getting recognition.
Just saw this today. Sam Mendes is brilliant and this actor really conveyed the weight of being a soldier at war. Wonderful film and great cast
It's the first movie I've ever watched where I feel like I'm with the characters on the adventure. It's so well shot like one continuous thing. Brilliant.
Jimmy: "Tell everyone what 1917 is about"
George: "1917 is set in the WWI"
America: "You had me at war"
MotherF Jones “3 years later”
The Central Powers outfighting the Allies in April 1917*
Central Powers: You guys hear boss music?
America: ayy lmao
@Sam C to give them their due, the american money, supplies and troops helped break the resolve of the german empire quicker but their defeat was inevitable. The yanks like to take the credit for winning a war in which they only lost 50,000 men in combat to, as opposed to the near 2 million native british and colonial casualties and the million French army casualties.
@Sam C I never said the allies would lose but they certainly helped end the war quicker. By the early months of 2017, France was largely on its last legs, with the war ravaging a lot of its land and many of its army killed due to poor strategies and decisions (like wearing extremely visible/noticeable clothing), Russia was having problems with an untrained and unequipped army plus a revolution that ousted Tsar Nicholas. Britain was the only nation truly keeping the war alive and they would have kept fighting to the point where they would cause Germany to strike a ceasefire. But without the US, the war likely would have ended in 1919.
@Sam C That was WW2. America barely fought in WW1 and were 18th on the most powerful nations list...1 below Romania
this movie is a masterpiece. one of the most beautifully filmed/produced pictures ever. if this doesn't win best picture im going to flip my shit
seerpou it was a master piece 👌🏻
wreck havoc if this doesn’t win
update: it didnt win lol
seerpou
It won best cinematography that I wanted it too
@@nicolelawless3199 the cinematography was stunningly beautiful!!!
"The Devonshires held this trench, the Devonshires hold it still"

This guy is such a talented actor. For Those In Peril is one of my faves.
Who is here after watching the masterpiece "" 1917" movie
I am.
Isn't it weird they just flat out show the attack scene?
@@jmeijer6995 Considering the focus of the movie? Nah.
Me me! We loved it and I went just because of George.
Not a masterpiece by any stretch
This is the most quiet and respectful interview ever. I loved it. And what a professional young man!
Am I the only one who thinks George Mackay is stunning 😍😍🥵
I have a very english friend who looks just like him
he is and also his shyness and politeness is even more charming 😍 (also i can't believe he's 27 i thought he was 22 or smth)
No, you are not
During 1917 I just kept thinking “oh god I don’t have time for another celebrity crush”
@@Drebin31 😂😂
The other "unknown" guy played the second prince in Game Of Thrones. Very unknown
It's not exactly a household name..
*king haha
We don't know his name, he's just Tommen to us
Dean Charles Chapman
Bubba Mike nah, Richard Madden
I can't wait to see this guy in more movies, his performance in 1917 was so believable
Look out for True History of the Kelly Gang, coming out this year.
Sarah Schesser
Damn it George is insane this year
Actor: “That was a mistake that was not meant to happen”
Jimmy: *gasp* “really”!
(All while spending the prior 3 minutes before that setting up for the story of there being a mistake)
I just find it super funny that you can tell how planned out these shows are, cool none the less
Socrates A his show is 99% planned, only Americans dont realize so much stuff is staged
All these types of chat shows are pre-planned, e.g. Graham Norton
So true
Jimmy Fallon is the fakest of them all
That's just how Jimmy Fallon is. It's like he's never really engaged in the conversation.
It kind of made it more real that the guy who fell didn't get back up, like he was too scared to get up and possibly run to his death.
This dude not getting nominated for best actor is criminal!
SHOULD’VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR BUT WHATEVER
no
Absolutely, Americans are very good at navel gazing
does this guy really nvr been cast in any film b4? idk(since im an asian) but his face looks like he doesn't belong in this era. he looks so cute in the uniform
George Mackay is so amazing I honestly think that he is my favourite actor of all time.
Me too! For the last few weeks since I saw the movie, then looked up all his films. Absolutely love him.
Sarah Schesser
HELL YES
Sarah Schesser
He’s in 2018’s Holocaust movie
That’s where I noticed him in 2019
Just saw it yesterday. Mendes has elevated the genre with this absolute masterpiece. I loved Parasite but this should have won the Oscar for best picture. The level of craftsmanship is incomparable.
The fact he isn’t being talked about as an Oscar contender is a travesty!!!!
Shevi Sloane I agree his performance was incredible
He was good in it. But when you look at the nominees this year it is clear he didn't stand a chance.
Andrea Canini they had two guys from The Irishman,, who basically played the same character nominated. One could’ve went for George MacKay.
@@soph5707 I'm not sure you understand how the categories work. There is a difference between supporting actor and lead actor. MacKay would have been competing only with De Niro, who didn't even get nominated, so I don't know why you would bring up The Irishman in the first place
The things that happen to him are freakin unbelievable!
The ending scene when he sits down and rest, while looking at the amazing view and neuter, that scene was so emotional and quite and just peacefull.... It was so awesome....
Movie starts with him sleeping against a tree and ends with him sleeping against a tree.
the clip doesn’t do the explosions justice... watching the clip in the theatre made my heart pound also the rat scene was crazy
milanfan81
And during the Charge I lost words
what rat scene
@@keke7802 when they were in the bunk beds in the dark with the booby trap that a rat set-off
I couldn't even watch that rat scene, it was horrific...i had to cover my eyes 🙈
Marjan Prithie
On my second time I knew it was coming so I had my coat to hide in and really shaking
It really feels like he's been around forever. Been a fan of his since Johnny and the Bomb back in 2006.
Why is no one talking about his role in “How I live now” with Saoirse Ronan?!? That movie is incredible.
Because most people are watching clit flix and chill
Katia Maski my fave movie ☺️
Because 1917 is a big movie and he had a lead role.
emma Marting I know right!! The scoring and cinematography is incredible :))
I just finished watching that movie!! I ended up crying a little at the end but it’s such an amazing film
Wow I love that, getting knocked down makes it so much more real and makes the running seem so urgent I love this movie over a year later from seeing it in theater lol
I've seen war movies, but I've never seen a war movie presented like a Remarkable Masterpiece i.e 1917
I got emotional and speechless in the end.
This movie and George Mackey both deserve the Oscar!
George Mackay is definitely my favorite actor. He's brilliant.
I love him since How I live now and Private Peaceful.
I just saw this movie 4 hours ago and yeah he will never be an unknown again.
"I'm going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan

Saurav Verma preach
Omg I remember that 😭
That was more moving than any scene I have watched... maybe ever...
George is sooo talented... check out his other films... he was such a hottie in the film Ophelia ..
Funny as there’s a scene in the movie that mirrors Millais painting of Ophelia
I loved him in Captain Fantastic!
11.22.63 on Hulu!!! He's great
Check out 11.22.63 his acting is great on that one.
I really loved him in Marrowbone!
all of a sudden I've seen George McKay in 5 movies over 2 years, and I wasn't even aware of it happening 🌠 His star's on the rise and frankly he's an *amazing intensely emotional actor who gives fully heartfelt and-or deep-down-wound portrayals* Remind me please of the last actor who did that.
Let me add, I've now watched a couple of his interviews and he shows a high intelligence (emotionally + intellectually) of the process + intracies of acting + filmmaking. He's clearly in the moment & very responsive.
George stay on track, don't join social media, even with an anonymous account. Keep onwards but *do not burn yourself out* Do only 2 or 3 projects per year.
Read + read, stay fit + healthy, be with family + friends, get practice + coaching with experts + academia, and read more.
You stand out as a *very gifted young man who will have decades of success* ahead 🌠
Lucky homeboy didn’t run into one of those bayonets
they’d be fake i presume
Cale Ross was thinking the same
@@onemomenttohislifespan I'd imagine they still hurt to run full speed into.
3:45 3 dudes on the left that went early and without guns 😂😂😂
@@platinumpineapple9943 hahahah
HE IS SHY OMG HE'S SO ADORABLE😭😭😭💔
I fell in love w him in this movie and I can’t wait to watch more from him
Sabrina R
Me too
My god I'm completely crazy about him, he's so gorgeous and such a good actor. Wish I could meet him in real life, he seems to be a lovely guy!
Marília Almeida Magalhães Ferreira da Costa
I’m mad on him
Jimmy Fallon never seems into his interviews. He doesn't come across as a genuine guy while interviewing. This movie is fantastic! Please see it if you haven't
I’m slow glad he’s finally getting recognition. He’s such an incredible actor and so underrated.
He was literally the reason why I watched this film. I saw him in pride and he was really good, and he was absolutely awesome in 1917
I saw the one where he was with Amandla loved it and cried
Miriam Aesthetic it’s my favorite rn
That scene is one of the best and most dramatic scenes I’ve seen in recent cinema
First saw him in 11.22.63 great show on Hulu
"what if you need up your line when you land"
He's British. He's trained for stage. You know, that one you rehearse for weeks and you can't mess up...
Exactly
That scene is just unbelievable, give me the shiver every time I watch it!!
My dude I've watched this film 9 times and still it's one of my favorites
Those two falls and hits made that scene way more realistic. Really cool that they kept it in there because that’s a lot more like what would’ve probably really happened in that scenario. There is just a wave of people attacking in that moment and he’s got to run through them. Very believable and very nicely done.
It gives more action in a scene that otherwise would've just been a straight boring shot without much real suspense. Falling down twice in that hell and getting up really sells the urgency and fragility of his mission.
i just came home from the movie theatre
my friends were all sobbing
i cant i freaking love him
so humble
he did such a great performance
now im totally invested (2 am in the morning) im gonna watch the behind the scenes shots
He is relatively unknown with his most popular films, Captain Fantastic and Pride, taking $21.3M and $16.7M reflectively, though he has been in a number of movies since 2017, even starring alongside Daisy Ridley in Ophelia. 1917 is definitely a big jump forward for George, and I couldn't be more proud of him.
I’m British but listening to him makes me understand why other people love our accent so much 😅
I can't breathe....this movie was extrodinarly beautiful, thank you for making this interview w/ George Mackay.
Can’t believe he was in Peter Pan when he was smaller 😁
YOUNGER. Not smaller...
I knew it, his face was so familiar
He wasn't Peter Pan. He was in the movie Peter Pan as Curli but he wasn't Peter Pan.
D One no one said he was. She said “he was in Peter Pan”
@@weasley2o13well he was smaller then
unknown? George is literally the reason i watched this film lol
Verity Rose unknown doesn’t mean literally no one knows him. They are just saying the vast majority of the public does not know his name.
Me too!!!
a lesson of courage every second, this film is incredible and so is scottfield too.
Not an unknown. Had a killer part in the series on Hulu with James Franco. Played a guy from Kentucky in the series 11.22.63 and really nailed the accent so it’s cool to see this happen too for him!! 👍👍
I thought he looked familiar. Thanks for reminding. He was indeed brilliant in that series.
Chris Hudson I couldn’t figure out why I know him!
Thijs Esseboom he definitely was!
Yeah he definitely looked familiar, his accent throw me off. Loved the series.
I thought he was really from the American South in 11/22/63
The first dude that bumped into him will forever be in Movie history.
“Kids open your books! There was a guy that accidentally messed up this big big scene!”
it's almost wild that they decided to keep it in. it was so noticeable and kind of took away from the epicness of the scene
@@jankartasan A man being too dizzy to get back up is lazy directing? Doesn't it just sort of add to the chaos?
His performance was absolutely riveting! I was so drawn into the movie and his character it was amazing.
He’s wonderful in Pride, another very important film
sounds gay....
Tips: if you haven’t seen the movie, and haven’t seen this clip, DONT.
Dont watch the trailer as well. One of the best scene I’ve seen shouldn’t be in the trailer. I was lucky I didnt see it and went straight to the film.
My god what a climactic scene.
That scene gave me chills. The whole movie was simply fantastic. Definitely up there as one of my favorite war movies. Beautiful story. Incredible directing and filming. It was worth seeing.
He should have been nominated for best actor
Understatement
I am so soo happy he's getting the recognition he deserves!! (And mildly annoyed that people overlook his past works)
I just watched it. I cried when he was running through the trenches. This performance was brilliant, one of the best movies I’ve seen.
He was great on 11-22-63. I'm glad hes finding success
He also was amazing in Where Hands Touch
So beautiful. He was like, running, then he ran into someone, then he kept running. Amazing, just completely awe inspiring. Give him a nobel prize for this.
“Wanting to cast two unknowns” are we just gonna conveniently forget that one of them was in Game of Thrones or...??
We're all trying to forget Game of Thrones, season 8 hurt too much
Dan Witzke - yeah tell me about it! I spent so much time watching RUclips uploads of people talking about everything that went wrong with the final season but let's be honest...GOT really started to go downhill after S4. I did really enjoy S5 and S6 however they weren't quite as good as the previous seasons once the show runners ran out of book material. It has been cathartic watching those videos. I was watching another interview with Dean Charles-Chapman where he is promoting 1917 and he said that he "lost interest" in GOT after Tommen died and he stopped working on the show but some people think he actually did continue watching the show to the end (because why would you not....i mean really?) and it was just him putting a wall up (no pun intended) so he didn't have to say what he really thought of the final season since literally the entire world was utterly disappointed 😞 in it.
TheATRAs14...well technically there were 2 GOT actors in the film. I think Sam Mendes did that on purpose.
Unknowns for the movie scene.
TheATRAs14 3:45 3 dudes on the left that went early and without guns 😂😂😂
I've always remembered him as Curly from Peter Pan, one of my favorite movies ever! haha
One of my fav actors now! This dude is great 🙂💪💪
He's got that old-school look- like something out of a 1940's Enid Blyton adventure.
