Billy is quite quiet all the time with pitching in wherever needed, and then from 33:48 - 41:58, it is just him, and the rest of them are just, just listening to him! Just amazing!
I met Billy Bob Thornton in 2000, on the set of Bandits, along with Bruce Willis as well. Bruce was plenty polite and shook hands with many fans. Billy Bob, on the other hand, set the standard. He came out with stacks of autographs, pre-signed. He stayed and talked with all of us. He was married to Angelina Jolie at the time and put up with all the stupid questions. I realize that perhaps he comes off as a bit eccentric, but I've always felt like that's a bit of an act. He's practically Mr. Rogers when he's interacting with fans. Unforgettable.
He’s just a regular guy that became popular...you can’t extract that out of certain people...The person you are behind the curtain also dictates your success....
At 54:26 Riz Ahmed makes a very valid point. I've heard people write off a show/movie saying it's "too political" when in fact the show/movie wasn't really political at all, just told a story from a different viewpoint than they were used to seeing.
I assure you, every decision that has to do with a large budget, executives and a mass audience Is absolutely political. It gets In the way of pure story out of fear of segregating your audience.
People who take no responsibility for their uncomfortable feelings about a movie always blame the movie, as though they came to it without preconceived notions of what it ought to be. When people say a movie is boring I wish they would say I was bored with it. When they say it was offensive I wish they would say they were offended. It would make for a more.honest discussion.
grayforester exactly! Films that are cerebral, require paying attention, or take uncomfortable viewpoints are attacked as boring, confusing, too political or not escapist. When I hear those attacks I see those people as saying , they don’t have the attention span, or the desire to examine difficult topics. The problem is that’s the majority of any society. Simple mindless fluff will always garner more attention than thoughtful artistic brilliance. Queue the emotional responses
Fox spoke so intelligently and was disappointed the host turned the subject away from RIZ around 55 minutes to talk about the wealthy royals.... uh so much sucking up to
Hearing Ewan McGregor say that he gets really nervous (particularly, how he describes it) is amazing. All I can think of are the amazing deliveries he has produced in his acts. It leaves me in awe.
@@gravyvcolouredhair1731 His point was that was his roots and the conversation he had with Diddy. He wasn't trying to say he was some great musician... But obviously Diddy knew that he was involved in music, hence the conversation...
He played MLK in a movie called "Boycott" and he also starred as Basquiat in his biopic. Very talented. Courtney is amazing too! His portrayal of Johnny Cochran was phenomenal.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sterling Brown's presence in this. He listens so actively, his reactions are so large yet genuine, his voice is so smooth. Damn I got me a crush
She didn't cut anybody off or anything but everytime Billy was speaking she'd turn into a really impatient budgie that squacks distracting 'I'm listening' phrases constantly.
I think my breaking point was at 35:57....there is 1 UHUH! too much...so FUCK HER!!!!! rather someone interupting and keeping the conversation going than not be able to listen someone without UHUH AHAA AH YEAH SURE etc.
I like how perceptive the interviewer is..how she carefully places questions at the right lulls in the conversation or to the guests who haven't spoken in a while. Excellent work!
Well.. I did love his choice of phraseology, the one-&-only thing about him in the entire episode that stood out to me BUT.. ...Nothing non-theoretical can be binary across the cosmos so I can't say “everything” is not overselling that oh-so-ingenious “advice”. Just take the L from her “uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh” attack.
This is one of the best conversations on acting and film I have ever seen. Outstanding host, outstanding guests. (And, of course, I'm in love with Billy Bob.) Bravo to you all.
An enlightened person would have written an essay about how all people are pigeonholed in acting and not just specific groups. He is a fake "Woke" person using todays outrage culture for points to push his career.
@2300 Slatt One of many. Irish are also typecast often when they are really...really Irish. There are also individuals that are typecast because of their looks. Dolph Lundgren is a prime example. He is one of the most intelligent people to ever act yet he is type-cast as a brute because of his looks...the guy is a literal rocket scientist with a masters in chemical engineering, with an IQ over 160...nope, you play a muscle headed nitwit please.

I thought he was being facetious at first but then he doubled down and said it again. So seriously--it seemed so out of place but I was cracking up. I'm not sure if he meant it to be but it almost felt like he was mocking the other actors response at that point.
This was a great round table: A wonderful and diverse mix of actors, all handled suburbly by Lacey. She takes a very improv feel with the interviews; lets the actors riff and picks up on the current conversation meta to build to other questions. Also, I love watching the actors geek out with the other actors, talking about their work and showing themselves as fans of each other.
@@fubliani1882 100%. Her constant need to be vocal takes away from the interview, but it was six years ago so hopefully she's had some growth since then. We're here to listen to the actors, not the handler. They should only "interrupt" if it goes on for too long, to gently guide it back to a new topic.
Sterling's voice is EVERYTHING to me right now. It's so soothing and I want him to read me stories. And Ewan's accent! And Riz. So beautiful. My word. I love seeing actors geek about each other's works and careers. And I like how they were allowed to be political. Everything is indeed political. Some politics are just so mainstream that they don't seem political. All these men have such interesting things to say. People complain about this moderator's interjection and listening noises, but I'd prefer those over the male moderator's interruptions and conversation switches.
Same!!! I hadn’t seen him in anything other than Night of & had no idea he wasn’t American even. Majorly crushing on him now, his voice is silky smooth. Wish he had been engaged more in this interview, my only qualm.
I have loved Ewan, Billy Bob, and John for years, but it was wonderful hearing from and getting to know the other actors. What a great group of gentlemen at this table, I enjoyed every minute of it!
I absolutely love these roundtables, it's so fantastic to watch and listen to such talented actors of who are many of my favourites - talk about and describe things that would you would never usually get to hear in simply movie-premier-interviews as well as their interactions with each other.
You know, the reason that these videos are so interesting is that there's something deeply fascinating about hearing a discussion between a bunch of people who deeply understand their craft. And they're not necessarily trying to be entertaining; they're just talking to each other.
I love that moment from 55:00 onwards, the deep understanding, moment of solidarity and meaningful glances, Riz, Sterling, and Jeffrey seem to have of each other's point, because at the end of the day as POC they understand exactly what the other is saying without even needing to finish their thoughts. Also notice the abrupt but obvious turn away from the issues them three were talking about by the host, you could see the expression on their faces because they knew why
I would say that she shouldn't have taken the conversation to another place when it was there it was rude and unthoughtful. But I think that especially Ewan and John were hearing carefully and respectfully and I liked that a lot (actually the three white guys, lol) they didn't try to intrude or to take the word away from the people that actually knew what they were talking about. Not really that I'm trying to praise them for doing the polite thing, but more privileged people really need to learn this.
serpentinefireball you're projecting your racism of collective thought based on skin color. People don't think the same things because they're the same color.
I love the THR Roundtable series. This one was particularly good with intelligent conversation among handsome men. The host, Lacey Rose, is great too. "Politics is a just a point of view on the world. And every story has a point of view on the world....What we think of as mainstream stories or stories that aren't political are very political in their absence of interrogating the status quo." - Riz Ahmed 👍🏽 Daammnnnn, that is so profound!!
damn!!@43:20 mark i thought that riz was legit gonna start rapping but damn!!!he is such an eloquent speaker and very inclusive as well. i wanted them to discuss more but oh well
It's always interesting to watch these things and pick out the one in the room who has the respect of everyone at the table. There's no doubt here that It's John Lithgow.
Damn, I wish Daniel Day-Lewis was in this to discuss/defend method acting when Thornton discusses his approach. Would've been a very interesting conversation.
Tis Cayea I do too. Method acting works for some and not for others. I personally love the theater actors and the skills they have. I would love to hear a discussion on the pros and cons of method vs theater trained.
I Billy Bob was not disparaging Method Acting for any one else. And he says so in the beginning of his comments. He was speaking for himself. There many actors who are not Method Actors. I believe Daniel would clearly understand Billy’s comments sand respect them.
While watching BBT explain his method of acting I was thinking to myself, I wish there's a roundtable with DDL, that'd be an interesting one too. There's no need to defend if you're not attacked though.
Love Sterling. People vs OJ was great. Some of the best courtroom scenes I've seen. Superb performances. Just gave you a sense of the tension and the "feel" of what it must of been like at the time. Cleverly structured as well. Shout out to Sarah Paulson who is argumentatively the best actress on TV today.
Jeffrey Wright has such a great voice. It was a good choice to have him with the open narration of The Batman trailer . Sets the tone. I would love some audiobooks read by him. Can't wait to see more of his Jim Gordon
I hung on to every word John Lithgow said. Such an inspiration. I love the view he has on the craft. The insight of the others were just as amazing but I have been watching John Lithgow for longer than any of them and it is just beautiful to share in his experience.
8:27 wow this is crazy in a room with all these great actors. billy bob Thornton energy just drew everyone in and he said some really profound stuff right here
Man, I love this format.. It's not like all the other stuff out there. Post and pre-production interviews and shallow garbage. It's engaging and almost like participating in a deep insightful conversation on every artists unique take on their form as people rather than porcelain dolls on a pedestal. Whoever suggested this is brilliant.
I think this is one of the best Actor’s Roundtables because these Actors kind of ignore her and have a conversation amongst themselves. And Billy Bob Thornton is so chill and real.
I just came back to this again. Great roundtable conversation. Billy Bob Thornton's the most interesting, haven't followed his work much so wasn't expecting much but his insights and history were fascinating.
I'm so glad Lacey seems to be in charge of these roundtables now. They could all still be improved upon, as anything could be, but they've definitely gotten better since Josh has disappeared.
Billy is a fantastic actor. His thoughts on performance and acting I couldn't possibly disagree more, but it is fascinating how many processes there are to get to the character.
Y'all complaining about poor Lacey Rose and her "ahem" and "suuuuuure"s, but do you REALLY want fuckin' Holloway back??!!! ¬¬ No, sir. At least Lacey seems to be LISTENING and not interrupting. Let's get one thing straight: all moderators HAVE TO interrupt at some point, otherwise, one person can speak for hours at a time and divert from the main subject/question and chaos would ensue. It's all in the way and timing of said interruption. And, guess what? Lacey KNOWS how and when to interrupt somebody. So, no, I'll take her "ahem"s ANY FUCKIN' DAY of the week over that creep Holloway. #LeaveLaceyAlone #JusticeForLacey
Oh come on. She doesn't need justice. It's us who need it from her annoying "hmmms" and "aahaans" and "Suree". I mean stop interrupting. Let the actors speak.
The hosts interviewing technique is so much better than the other guy, she actually acknowledges what the actors are saying and segways properly between topics, rather than just randomly skipping through topics
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Love how you can tell they all love Lithgow. Whenever he speaks they're all totally focused on him and smiling.
All fellow interviewees and additionally, the interviewer included?
Billy is quite quiet all the time with pitching in wherever needed, and then from 33:48 - 41:58, it is just him, and the rest of them are just, just listening to him! Just amazing!

Couldn't Have Summarised It Better...!
Hmm, private school then Oxford. Then complains about other people being privileged.
Jeffrey Wright is SUPER underrated !!
never heard of him till now ... re-reminds me of another actor Courtney B. Vance
He played MLK in a movie called "Boycott" and he also starred as Basquiat in his biopic.
Very talented. Courtney is amazing too!
His portrayal of Johnny Cochran was phenomenal.
sorry got the names mixed up the guy you mentioned is in was in westworld
Kerra Johnson If someone is sitting at that table, they're not underrated.
John Lithgow has an Oscar! Not underrated. He was huge at one point. Just older now.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sterling Brown's presence in this. He listens so actively, his reactions are so large yet genuine, his voice is so smooth. Damn I got me a crush
Sterling K. Brown looks like he is in heaven sitting across from John Lithgow. You can tell he has looked up to him for a while.

By "Josh 'The Interrupter' Holloway"... you mean Stephen "The Abrupt Prick" Galloway?
Lacey Rose is interrupting plenty. They just pretend not to acknowledge it because they don't want to appear sexist.

I’ve been watching round tables past few days. And this one is my favorite discussion so far! They all covered such human topics
What other kinds of topics are there?
The great thing about these is seeing the younger actors take in and learn from the older actors.
Indeed.

I'd say its the other way around

Am addicted to this Roundtable videos!🎥📺
The different actors are absolutely fantastic. Each brings something different to the "table".

Agreed! I just wish they’d double the time 😭 make it an average of at least 2/ 2.5 hours long. Like a hearty podcast
14:33 Riz Ahmed for the win!
I think this is one of the best Actor’s Roundtables because these Actors kind of ignore her and have a conversation amongst themselves. And Billy Bob Thornton is so chill and real.
i love the way she moderates the talkings at round tables
I've always thought highly of Billy Bob Thornton. What a terrific actor!
Best roundtable ✨📯
I just came back to this again. Great roundtable conversation. Billy Bob Thornton's the most interesting, haven't followed his work much so wasn't expecting much but his insights and history were fascinating.
I'm so glad Lacey seems to be in charge of these roundtables now. They could all still be improved upon, as anything could be, but they've definitely gotten better since Josh has disappeared.
Uh huh, yep, Mhmmm, Haha, yes, Hmmm.
I agree. She's intelligent and classy, always engaged, and asking intelligent questions. ♥️💚
Didn't Mr Galloway came afterwards?!!
@@Wayfsmitt ah huh, yep, hmm hmm
I love how passionate Sterling K. Brown is!!!!!
So,when an actor finishes his /her movie,they feel the same as when one finishes a good book.Never knew that.
Billy is a fantastic actor. His thoughts on performance and acting I couldn't possibly disagree more, but it is fascinating how many processes there are to get to the character.
Y'all complaining about poor Lacey Rose and her "ahem" and "suuuuuure"s, but do you REALLY want fuckin' Holloway back??!!! ¬¬ No, sir. At least Lacey seems to be LISTENING and not interrupting. Let's get one thing straight: all moderators HAVE TO interrupt at some point, otherwise, one person can speak for hours at a time and divert from the main subject/question and chaos would ensue. It's all in the way and timing of said interruption. And, guess what? Lacey KNOWS how and when to interrupt somebody. So, no, I'll take her "ahem"s ANY FUCKIN' DAY of the week over that creep Holloway. #LeaveLaceyAlone #JusticeForLacey
people just gotta bitch about something...
Cow Commando seriously. Seems like the only purpose of the comments section these days.
Oh come on. She doesn't need justice. It's us who need it from her annoying "hmmms" and "aahaans" and "Suree". I mean stop interrupting. Let the actors speak.
Derek Sunario - Cool, let's go back to Halloway then. Shut it down! It didn't work.
Cow Commando rdwf
This is one of THE BEST round table. I adore each of these actors! Bravo! ☺️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Jeffrey Wright such an underrated actor!!! And Billy Bob too...
The hosts interviewing technique is so much better than the other guy, she actually acknowledges what the actors are saying and segways properly between topics, rather than just randomly skipping through topics
“The other guy” must've some name?
"uh huh uh huh uh huh sure sure sure"
OneRequiem123 🙉 drove me bonkers
Yeah, she should shut the fuck up
"Fo shizzle, fo shizzle."
Agreed.
*sigh* def needs some new "active listening sounds"...or silence.
Oh man, I love these guys, especially John, Jeffrey and Ewan. Wow!
I'VE LITERALLY NEVER CLICKED ON A LINK THIS FAST
Dude dogs can be trained and act it aint that hard...ohhhh whats this and that bitch STFU
DO. NOT. YELL!
Never heard of Sterling K. Brown before this. I love him. What a great character.
This is such a BALLIN group.
One of the best episodes yet! Well Done!
WHY DONT THEY TRY A MUSICIAN ROUNDTABLE? like heavy meatal, or hiphop artist. would be interesting to hear them converse.

What a great idea! 👊
Thatd be amazing
I think they would just start having sex and consuming cocaine while humming
Well need subtitles for Ozzy Osbourne
Great idea, I'd choose different genres tho
Sterling Wright's observation on working with confident colleagues is so perfect.
Lithgow is no slouch, but Wright is a BRILLIANT man.
This has been so amazing to watch. I really enjoyed it. One of the best ones!!!! I'm in awe how incredible this was. Badass actors!! I loved it
Jeffrey Wright is amazing!
Fascinating discussion - so glad the moderator let the actors take the conversation where it went
I wish everyone would of let Ewan Talk I would of loved to hear his stories..
I enjoyed this episode so much. All that talent. Thanks RT.
DAMN! this round table looks intense
Hands down the most enjoyable exploration of the inner workings of actors minds
Great minds = Great Teachers ✅🏆👏
I could listen to Thornton for hours.
One of my favorites roundtables
John Lithgow is enormous. He makes Riz look like a hobbit.
Yea. But Riz's talent is huge, so it balances out! :)
Riz has a bigger penis
jay35833, and you know that how? Riz has never done a fully nude scene in any of his films, not that I can recall. Keep dreaming....
I think that's a lot of why he got cast in The World According To Garp; he's much too big to rock a knee length ensemble.
John Lithgow is basically the american Stephen Fry
Great vibe, content and conversation so sharp. Thoroughly enjoyed the mix and best I’ve seen so far!
Finally!!!!!
