He actually played a 'good guy' in Django Unchained.
I'll bet none of these corporate news robots know anything about the person they're interviewing.
Exactly his character in Django is nice guy
Dont forget in Alita
Right, that really threw me off.
FIrst when the one guy said about the other host "you love to hate him" when it seemed to be about django... then later at about 2:30 when he described the character as mean and nasty, and it was the black dude of all people saying it lol.
My thought as well he is really uncomfortable being in that crowd. They have no clue who he is, they have only studied him on the internet. Or been given a paper to read.
A man of honor and righteousness. Self righteousness. But yes. Definitely a good man.
You can tell that Christoph is kindly humoring these people and their ridiculous questions. I've seen him in other interviews with people who actually understand the movie/acting business and those are much better.
I was about to post exactly what you said , you can tell he hates interviews like this
His performance in inglorious basterds is still absolutely chilling every time I see it
Because he is feeling it
You need to see 'the consultant ' .. he is simply genius !
BINGOOOOWW
Love him!!! He’s a freaking amazing actor.
Can't agree more !
Thank you for your love❤️❤️ and support for me and my career🎼🎸, I hope that you will not stop supporting me😊💕💕
I am really very pleased that all of you have been around all these years of my career.
I appreciate your support and warm comments🎲🎲
I want to say thank you very much 🙏 🙏 😊
I wish you a happy yuletide season and all the best of luck in all your endeavors and also a blessed holiday 😘😘💕💕🍀🍀
God bless you✌️✌️🎼🪕🎸
"its even unsettling to answer that question" 😅😅😅 savage
I’m an actor. A perfect answer. Brilliant man. Even when he’s being himself, his accent still gives you hints of his roles so it’s a little spine chilling. Don’t you agree?
I love how Waltz knows exactly who he is which is humbling in and of itself. "I'm an actor". He doesn't try to pretend (no pun intented) to be anything greater than what he is like some other actors in Hollywood. He gives credit to the writers and says "I do what they tell me" which is insanely humble. So many actors think that they're these amazing and wonderful almost God like entities when all they do is what the writers tell them to do. It's refreshing to hear a celebrity know what they are and accept it.
Not quite. Waltz is very humble, but it takes a talented actor to bring words to life in a manner that you completely believe.
It is. But it also is a rather shallow answer.
@@SmokingBirds honesty can disappoint sometimes, the illusion is more exiting, thats why we watch movies.
I’ve seen this man speaking
German
French
English
Italian
And with this last show Korean
If that itself isn’t awesome enough I don’t know hay else could
Bester Mann 😁
One of my favourite artists. His screen presence in any role he fills is outstanding.
Amazing actor
He really doesn’t wanna be there 😂 this man is talented
He is truly an amazing actor.
I first saw him in "Inglourious Basterds", and I found his acting performance so amazing that I watched each one of his movies ever since.
He's such a great actor, but he also seems so genuine and authentic, being real and doing things because he loves it, fame being just a bonus.
😂😂😂 when he said "I'm bad at being good"
Be good or bad
we love you either way
Mr.Waltz
it was so chilling watching him in roles other than the villains, e.g. in Alita battle angel he played some kind of a father figure. wish he would do more of that cuz he's such an outstanding actor. but somehow most of his roles are these 'perfidious malicious guy' types.
As an Austrian/German actor Hollywood loves to give him the bad guy image. 1945 forever although many other nations have tons of blood on their hands, too... - . They waste a myriad of -meanwhile- better possibilities.
He is an outstanding actor
What an actor am always thrilled to see him
He is terrifyingly great. And super sharp.
Their questions are unbelievably dumb and he's trying to get that point across to them when he's answering, but they don't seem to be getting it.
They keep mentioning Django Unchained as if he played a bad guy in that movie. Do these people even know what they are talking about 🤦🏼♂️.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld! Crime in itself to overlook that performance!
Yes. He played that character beautifully.
more series for this guy pls.. great actor
He seems incredibly shy and nervous even when he is just being himself
one of the best actors ive had the pleasure of watching, idk if youll see this christoph, but thank you for all you do
Love this guy!!! I can hardly wait to watch this series!
Thank you for your love❤️❤️ and support for me and my career🎼🎸, I hope that you will not stop supporting me😊💕💕
I am really very pleased that all of you have been around all these years of my career.
I appreciate your support and warm comments🎲🎲
I want to say thank you very much 🙏 🙏 😊
I wish you a happy yuletide season and all the best of luck in all your endeavors and also a blessed holiday 😘😘💕💕🍀🍀
God bless you✌️✌️🎼🪕🎸
His micro expressions in Basterds is what makes him one of the best and most underutilized actors of this generation.
“Interviewers” are drongos but Waltz is a pro and made them look good anyway.
Perfect answer to a silly question.
Christoph so good dancing the Waltz!!!!
One of my favorite actor
The first time I saw Christoph on TV, he appeared as a baddie in Komissar Rex (Very famous TV series of the 90's in Europe)
In my case it was A King for Burning (König der letzten Tage).
Anything he's in I can definitely watch!
His acting is only one half the success story, the other half is fantastic writing.
Hes been so amazing in everything's he's been in. Short list of actors that I can say the same thing about.
playing in sinister intellectual films like the Consultant is a very difficult and complex thing as it require a certain type of charisma and emotional intelligence.
Christoph is one of the most underrated actors.
Another one that delivers every time is Christian Bale. Very hard thing to do, I feel that Cristoph deserves more respect from people.
@@claudiuflorea2090 Are the people disrespecting him? Or is that you think he should be in more films and being overlooked? I think he's brilliant in everything he's in. Django Unchained was such an amazing character for him and he played it perfectly. As he was in Inglourious Basterds also. Two master pieces!
@@jvac1129 I feel that people consider him as only being capable of playing ''nasty'' bizarre roles, as the person from this interview stated. The Consultant, for example has a low general review score because people complained they didn't understood the plot. We grew up accustomed for movies to spoon feed us the story, leaving most unable to think for themselves. I for one love that show and Christoph plays a very difficult role that not a lot of actors would be able to. Not enough recognizion for him into a world that has left with very few truly intelligent actors that offer a unique flavour to their craft by being an interesting person and having a complex real life personality. That is why we don't have huge movies, no more. The quality of actors has been greatly reduced because of the way society shapes nowadays actors personalities.
He acts exactly like he does in films
He still fine he’s aging well
Honestly, Christoph Waltz is a fairly good looking guy. Idk why he’s never been cast in a romcom or romance kind of thing. He’d probably be really good at it. He was hilarious on SNL.
Lmao a rom com ? He’s a little old for the standard rom com you think ? Leave those for Ashton Kutcher I think this man takes his craft a little more seriously than that
@@Signal_in_the_noise You must not be around many people over the age of 40. There’s a ton of romance movies and romcoms that focus on older characters. Look at Love Actually, Something’s Gotta Give, Love Actually, etc.
@@Sharpe1502 adult rom coms are far less prevalent….regardless, his talents would be wasted on a cheap forgettable movie like that. Do you see legendary actors like Leo or Daniel Day Lewis do movies like that? No because I’m sure that sort of script doesn’t challenge or interest them. They are formulaic and forgettable and offer nothing new or unique. Im sure an actor of his caliber dream to work with the best of the best when it comes to directors, producers, and cinematographers and those people are not working on cheesy rom coms. They are busy trying to push the boundaries and offer something insightful. Rom coms are for actors who want a paycheck, not a fulfilling project. His project selection has been fantastic so far id hate to see him stray.
@@Signal_in_the_noise well, he did do Horrible Bosses 2. Not your typical Daniel Day Lewis or DiCaprio flick. 😂
But why on earth have him do fluff roles when he can do the difficult, groundbreaking stuff so well?
Your question is like suggesting a modern day Mozart should also be DJing at the weekends instead of just writing masterpieces.
Legit just watched America's Got Talent interview one of the greatest actors of all time as if he was a fresh contestant who just walked on stage. Almost vomited that Waltz had to sit in the same room with these inglorious babblers...the fact that he answered their questions so cordially was a flaming roast to their preschool ignorance.
did these people even see any of the movies they are talking about?? Speaking of sinister characters and mentioning Django Unchained????
He is as unique as he is great.
Christoph is CONSISTENTLY awesome
I just love him
I never heard him speak in person before--but now that I have, I see he was barely acting at all!
I love this dudes acting.. he’s incredible..
It’s hard to pay attention to anyone else when he’s in a scene. Especially Inglorious Basterds
It was good just finished it the other day.
come on everyone.. *IT'S HIS SPEECH PATTERN & ACCENT* that makes the deal
Perfect role model
Beautiful
Am I the only one who loves villains?
Man these interviews are always so painful to watch.Too bad, he is a stellar performer and shouldn't be on this show.
They need to be four to interview one person? And none of them were very good at it.
“I’m an actor.” 😂
Legendary
he doesn't really want to be in this interview
can't blame him though.
That's just his style..of interveiws.go watch
To this day I've never seen that man comfortable in any interview
Soooo good !! He gets down !!
This man is so uncharasmatic he's charismatic
Joaquin phoenix, cristoph waltz and daniel day lewis in a movie.
He has an intimidating quality like John Malkovich
He is great. Hating that Prime is putting the worst profanity directly with Christ's name however. Argue as you wish, but I don't see them going out of their way to offend Muslims or other religions in such offensive manner. Maybe we could turn Christoph loose on the writers? But he is probably too nice for that. Great actor.
4 national television "Journalists" sitting there fanboying & asking dumb questions, What a surprise!
I'm still trying to figure out what the skoreans did to have Christopher Waltz himself in a scene that brutal and to murder them with his grandkid named Tokyo. What did they do you?!
Is he playing the Ubisoft boss?
Actually, he does look like the guy who played Dr. King Schultz in Django Unchained❤.
❤
System Schranze😂
Is the movie referencing Twitter Corp? 😂
one cultivated vs. four educated
None of these people seem to have watched django unchained. Are we at the generation of content that interviewers don't even do the research they're supposed to do on the people they're interviewing? It's very joe-rogan-esque. I don't remember it always being this way...
How can you say that. Joe Rogan is where practicing medical doctors get their information and methods.
He was a good boss.
Terrible interview on the part of the anchors
Who comes up with these questions like how do u approach these nasty characters? Bro his character in Django was not bad he was good guy if u didn’t know also in alita the battle angel
I'm scared watching this interview
He’s really mean in this series.
Simply put he is an Austrian. That is it! Any Austrian (including himself) would know what I mean. That said, he is great!
My goat actor
Who comes up with these questions?
Thank you for your love❤️❤️ and support for me and my career🎼🎸, I hope that you will not stop supporting me😊💕💕
I am really very pleased that all of you have been around all these years of my career.
I appreciate your support and warm comments🎲🎲
I want to say thank you very much 🙏 🙏 😊
I wish you a happy yuletide season and all the best of luck in all your endeavors and also a blessed holiday 😘😘💕💕🍀🍀
God bless you✌️✌️🎼🪕🎸
@@christophwaltz-oo2qs yuletide? It's March.
Certainly not getting the fees he used to command, mind you, he is well 'connected' so there is that. Not really his fault though considering he keeps appearing in duds and damp squibs. But as I said, he's 'connected' ...G...
I think he plays a good bad guy so well because he IS very educated and struggles to be patient with those less. Not less educated...but not of his intelligence. Educated doesn't mean intelligent. The difference is usually obvious and he is playing a role being nice here with silly questions. He did well...but I see it. He s a nice guy. But I dont think he wanted to be there. Im probably overthinking it. Oh well. Ramble over.
you are not so bad being good!
There a few actors and CW is one of them, he excels in QT films, is far superior and sinister and or charismatic in QT films. In other projects like this, he is good yet just not the same.
He's very nervous
CW, Is so above this depth... His literally hovering.... But alas.. He love the part, and now has to sell it on "Today" .. Why ? I understand.. But there is also no reason to.
He is the drawcard.
Bad in Django????
I 💛him!
I guess the consultant actress birth soon
Because he’s German. They’re the best 😅
