Rich, you guided the discussion masterfully with exceptional timing and clarity. Even he felt affected afterwards. I have come to know the actor better now just as an actor but a real person who earned his stripes like you by hard work, personal courage, and dedication to their craft. A++ dude
It's encouraging. I'm an illustrator and i feel often discouraged because i'm broke... but damn i'm passionate with my art ... I don't want to do smthg else ..So i will just keep pushing and embrace the frustration. Be blessed
Never clicked a video faster. Joel Kinnaman is a huge inspiration of mine, especially as an actor who didn't come from a rich family. Cant wait to watch this
Absolutely lovely conversation. So genuine and insightful, felt very real and regular in the best way. Really great to get to know Joel more as well, as a fellow swede. Great work!!
I really enjoyed watching and listening, learned a lot more about Joel, been a fan of his for a few years now. It's proved what I've known about him, in that he's just an awesome person, an amazing human being. He's always real and not fake in any way, like a lot of celebrities out there.
Enjoyed hearing about Joel encountering flow for the first time in his craft and also his vulnerability sharing his experiences staying afloat while studying acting.
Going with the flow doesn’t mean you sit back passively and expect everything to work out. Going with the flow means you don’t cause yourself stress by fighting changes that are out of your control.
I love how you ended this video….Nothing like those loud comments that says” if you liked this video, watch that video….…” etc. in essence, not giving us a split second to appreciate what we just watched. Instead, you are letting us down , softly and with love 👍🧡

Thank you for this interview! I loved Joel in The Killing but l didn’t know anything about him as a person. Man, what a journey! ❤
I love Nic Cage, he is so brilliant. I love how he is a bit mad, crazy, bizarre, spontaneous, multi-layered and just always worth watching.
Going with the flow doesn’t mean you sit back passively and expect everything to work out. Going with the flow means you don’t cause yourself stress by fighting changes that are out of your control.
Its great to have Joel Kinnaman on the show. He was the right fit for House of Cards. Joaquin Phoenix next?
