I'm so glad that he was honest enough to claim that Schindler's List is one of the best ever even though he was in it. There's no reason why that should exempt it, it's important to him and that's all you need.
Danimal300zx Well generally yes, but here it's a interviewing technique he intendedly sticks to! Imagine him just letting Sir Ben Kingsley talk, we would still refer on Question Number Two; to very interesting arguments of course, but that's not the idea here. This round is about forcing successfully creative people to answer quickly, authentically and precisely at once.
This is a closing phase of the whole interview done in this manner on purpose. Watch the whole interview which is linked in the description and I believe you will appreciate how this segment fits into the whole. Cheers.
The first movie I ever saw him in was the film adaptation of Shakespeare's A Twelfth Knight where he played Feste the fool. So, naturally, I always think of him as that character xD
They seriously underrated Kingsley when they only knighted him. He is a remarkable actor, AND human being. But what really riveted me about this remarkable interview, is when Kingsley described how he arrived at the psychopathic killer mindset in "Sexy Beast," when he said, "he was an abused child." That single sentence put cold chills down my spine. It's why I always tell parents, "Be good to your children."
A great interesting recording! You're only the 3rd person in my life to mention that recording. Took me back to the Chicago of old before Kath died. I wonder if Kingsley would like it.
Hey there Sir Ben Kingsley, well I'm at a loss for words seeing you on my RUclips Page. Thanks for being a true fan. Connect with Miranda Kerr and Miranda cosgrove for a meet n greet & multiple tickets to my first Presidential State Dinner in 2024. Merry Christmas and happy New Year for your friends connections but most of all the entire Kingsley Family. God bless for great health for a lifetime.
There is a reason us brits don't make a fuss while you are eating... it's called respect.. oh and you're just an actor... not saving lives.. It appears it's you that needs the reinforcement to bolster your ego, we have just come in to eat.
Met him once in Spain. Great actor but a fucking awful person. Really rude to people and quite horrible. About 30 odd people had the same opinion. But again a fantastic actor.
So he's still demanding to get called Sir, while other people like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins just want you to call them by their first name. The prat level is high in this one.
Mark R. You’re absolutely right Mark R. Kingsley has a huge ego. He demanded to have his name above the title in the Broadway production of Waiting for Godot. Result - the production was scrapped! He demands reference to his being a knight in any production even though it is not etiquette within the acting profession to do so. Not the most popular actor although he is very good.
Got news for you Ben we're all abused kids, now stop playing the "If" game and start dealing in fact. Stop letting your mind drift off course, Take the shalom and put it in your dome. I've come to the conclusion that the only truth going on around here is Yeshua. Ben I don't know your spiritual situation I'm simply informing you in an attempt to lend polish to your ethical legacy.
These segments are criminally underviewed
The title doesn't titillate
2.35 - DELUSIONAL
I met this man outside the Viper Room in LA back in 1994. Class act.
Well who was he?
did you go like in 2:12
He is absolutely captivating. I could sit at his feet and listen to him tell stories or even read the phone book all day. I’m enthralled
don't miss PERPETUAL GRACE LTD
Ben Kingsley has such a smooth voice
love sir Ben sooo much ..he and Anthony Hopkins ....brilliant actors
So glad he said sexy beast when you consider all the roles he’s played.
I've never seen an interview with Ben Kingsley until now. He's exactly like I imagined.
Check out the Night at the Museum interiew. Hes horrible.
@@mogadon7 bro mistakes happaned
@@mogadon7 btw english is not my mother language
Love sir Ben kingsley, so very talented
I've never really taken much interest in Sir Kingsly but, i like hearing him talk. Such a nice accent.
I'm so glad that he was honest enough to claim that Schindler's List is one of the best ever even though he was in it. There's no reason why that should exempt it, it's important to him and that's all you need.
Larry is too quick to the next question.
Danimal300zx Well generally yes, but here it's a interviewing technique he intendedly sticks to!

A lot of it is just editing.
It's to bring out unfabricated answers as far as possible.
This is a closing phase of the whole interview done in this manner on purpose. Watch the whole interview which is linked in the description and I believe you will appreciate how this segment fits into the whole. Cheers.
No one is ordinary. Nice. That was lovely. Cheers Larry King.
Something very real about Larry. He and Craig Ferguson are the only interviews I like watching because of their frankness and openness.
James Lipton from Inside the Actors Studio is very good as well, but it's more about the craft.
Love the twinkle in their eyes when Larry says "No one is ordinary"
I enjoy listening to Kingsley
Kingsley speaks like a good book reads. Amazing!
I think I’m gonna watch more interviews with him
The inner voice is a very important thing. I like that he mentioned that. It's true.
Ahm listening tae ma inner voice right noo
Him playing don is some of the best acting ive ever seen
Two great people sitting round a table.
Two jews...
Absolute freakin genius!
Larry king is so spiritually evolved. The lights are on and EVERONES home
It's like he has been like this forever. Beautiful man
Top 10 of the greatest movies of all time Gandhi and Schindlers list
He's such an Englishman😂
His accent.. so classy
That's elocution could be from anywhere
Then why do i like him so much?
Yes, Mr Krishna Pandit Bhanji is such an Englishman! 😂
This guy is great!
I absolutely love this actor and his unbelievable talent☺️
He was AMAZING in sexy beast!
Wow, could you imagine sitting down with Sir Kingsley for even just a hour?!
Since I was a child, when I look at him I see otto Frank. His performance in that was transcendent
Unsullied and uncomplicated. Proper man.
Ben Kingsley in 'Joseph' as Potiphar was a masterpiece!
Great questions; the questions ordinary people would want to ask him; one after the other. Boom boom boom.
When I first heard about this project I thought to myself, Sir Ben Kingsley, no one else!
i'm Kingsley okay!!!!!!!!! thank you very much War Lord for Stone. Asylum!!!!!!! Thank you King!!!!!! 😇😊
At first I thought he said he was star struck by Tony Hawk... I was actually impressed.
Hopkins can skate, but not as good.
@@cinemar And Hawk can act, but not as good.
💙 ANSWERS!..
Quick.. Humble.. Witty.. Honest and when ONLY necessary.. detailed!
I'll always think of him as Gandhi
And Itzhak Stern (Schindler's List).
He virtually resurrected Gandhi. That’s the bar he sets for other actors. I have so much respect for him as an artist and professional.
The first movie I ever saw him in was the film adaptation of Shakespeare's A Twelfth Knight where he played Feste the fool. So, naturally, I always think of him as that character xD
Have you ever seen him as Don Logan? He's as far from Gandhi as you can get!
Don Logan tho.
They seriously underrated Kingsley when they only knighted him. He is a remarkable actor, AND human being. But what really riveted me about this remarkable interview, is when Kingsley described how he arrived at the psychopathic killer mindset in "Sexy Beast," when he said, "he was an abused child."

Just remembered that Larry is gone, RIP.
One of the rare videos with no dislikes, which is how it should be. Awesome.
people disliked this video just to spite this comment haha
'Tea not hot enough' - I quite agree!
I don’t why but, I knew he’d say Schindler’s List. He amazing.
Great film!!
legend
I love Camus!!! I’m an Absurdist!
yes king, yes grosvenor!
2:35 it's astonishing how pretentious actors are, they genuinely think what they do is curing cancer and ending wars
“ No one is ordinary.”
thank you I love these.
Q. “Biggest career regret?”
A. “Passing on the film, ‘Cleaver’”.
Ben's a fucking great actor
If someone can name the nine films he’s shot in Morocco without looking it up, I will be seriously impressed.
"i wont let you be fuckin happy!"
"Did you know Liam Neeson was that good?" was, in my opinion, a great question that Ben sort of side-swiped. Which I take as a "no", haha.
No one is ordinary.
Wonder if Mr. Kingsley has listened to the Chicago record titled the Stone of Sisyphus.
A great interesting recording!
You're only the 3rd person in my life to mention that recording.
Took me back to the Chicago of old before Kath died.
I wonder if Kingsley would like it.
I'd love to have a sit down with Sir Ben K.
Larry asks him his favorite actor to work with twice. The first time Ben Kingsley doesn’t answer, but the second time he does. Very sneaky, Larry.
"Tea that's not hot enough"
Sir, you are terribly British...
I love Larry's....Okaaaay.....
Hey there Sir Ben Kingsley, well I'm at a loss for words seeing you on my RUclips Page. Thanks for being a true fan.

In the UK walking up to someone in the street you're either going to be seen as a beggar or going to be stabbed
Yet to come....deep
No … evasive but trying to be deep.
Sexy Beast - a brilliant performance by Sir Ben.
How is there only 45 comments?
No dislike... this says it all...
well,,,
Jonathan glazer - sexy beast. Cult classic.
2:50 prime British 😅
1:37 Don't you mean knighted?
Ben Kingsley is Bruce Buffer's long lost half brother.
This guy went to my school
Louis
Larry King?
is he the Mandarin ? in Iron Man 3 ?
I still don’t understand how he passed on the lead role in “Cleaver.”
Sexy Beast is so under rated
By whom ?
I keep waiting for Sir Ben to turn into Don Logan...
Where's Lauren Bacall?
There is a reason us brits don't make a fuss while you are eating... it's called respect.. oh and you're just an actor... not saving lives.. It appears it's you that needs the reinforcement to bolster your ego, we have just come in to eat.
Am I the only one who thought Sir Ben Kingsley was one of the sexiest men alive?
Little Carmine knew sexy beast was his favorite role
Who else saw Robert Englund.
Met him once in Spain. Great actor but a fucking awful person. Really rude to people and quite horrible. About 30 odd people had the same opinion. But again a fantastic actor.
So sad to know this fact. He probably plays bad characters too often (joke). But he is really a great actor, just his eyes are so expressive...
Why not Gandhi
Imagine serving sexybeast with a 'nasty ' cup of tea,
A nice cup of tea is so last century.
A billion times better than Piers Morgan
Morgan's an ebrasive arse! Did you see his interview on CNN about 10 years ago of Rod Stewart? The interview was all about him and not his guest!
Absolutely
I would have preferred Larry King asking Don Logan the questions.
I inherently trust a guy who picks Camus.
The Mandarin.
its a bit lazy that gunshot list of questions.......
So he's still demanding to get called Sir, while other people like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins just want you to call them by their first name.
The prat level is high in this one.
Mark R. I must have missed that part in the video
Mark R. You’re absolutely right Mark R. Kingsley has a huge ego. He demanded to have his name above the title in the Broadway production of Waiting for Godot. Result - the production was scrapped! He demands reference to his being a knight in any production even though it is not etiquette within the acting profession to do so. Not the most popular actor although he is very good.
It's sir Ben kingsley!!!!
Cud do Optimus Prime if needed. Legend.
get jesse ventura on there
Ben Kingsley takes himself very seriously.....
Yes! The Wizard of Oz would have been my answer, too. Great minds think alike.
David Dutton What makes you think that you're a great mind?
Tony Hopkins? Does he mean Anthony the great thespian lol
i'm a huge fan of ben kingsley, but the myth of sisyphus is not a collection of essays, they're stories
No, they are not.
Dis wan ay u cvntz owe the other cvnt a fiver noo
Careful who you associate with.
And that's advice for this life anddd the next.
He could play Jeff Bezos ;)
"Best book you've ever read?" Mein Kampf
Ofcourse Gandhi wants to be in the military
Got news for you Ben we're all abused kids, now stop playing the "If" game and start dealing in fact.
Stop letting your mind drift off course, Take the shalom and put it in your dome.
I've come to the conclusion that the only truth going on around here is Yeshua.
Ben I don't know your spiritual situation I'm simply informing you in an attempt to lend polish to your ethical legacy.
Very overrated actor.
Love how larry hates long answers
