    Wow, I am blown away. This just instantly became one of my favorite Hot Ones interviews of all time (right up there with Paul Rudd). Viola's answers are so fluid, she answers Sean's questions so naturally and so casually, but without being cavalier. I was glued to my screen the whole time because her answers were just so genuine, and genuinely interesting. I thought I was a good communicator, but I just witnessed what real communication looks like. She offers so many important details in each of her responses and she does it just so effortlessly, it was immensely satisfying to watch. And her answer for Sean's last question was just so amazing and perfect. I loved hearing her thoughts and opinions on the entertainment industry, and also how things operate behind the scenes. But most importantly I really feel like I truly learned something from her last answer. I'm going to have to remind myself to periodically check back at 22:13, especially when life gets heavy, to remind myself about the journey.

Countless storytellers have used the Hero Myth, or monomyth, as fodder for storytelling. And for good reason, check it out if you want to get into the concept. She delivered it well though. Cheers

Viola Davis' quick witted replies to Sean Evan's thoughtful (and atypical to cliche) questions - fantastic rapport. Viola you are articulate and hysterically funny at the same time. Viola Davis is the first guest I have seen on the show that genuinely enjoyed the process of eating the wings. This was an episode that I did not want to end.

      There were a few no-noes too. Actors shouldn't always "take risks" or "make bold choices" in their portrayals. Good acting is about self-control, the results of which should be effortlessly immersive, the audience shouldn't have to do the work to believe in the character. Also, arguing with your director and writers over details of back story is very bad policy, no-one cares about the actor's method, you might get away with it if you're a Hollywood star, if not you'll probably lose work.

      @@BoojayDeeth it may be an industry no-no but I still think she is exactly right. She is absolutely making the characters better and more dynamic by taking those risks and critiquing the writers and directors. And I’m sure she knows they are no-noes too the way she prefaced them by saying “I think” and “in my opinion” because even though she knows that’s the best way to get a good character, obviously it’s not always going to be welcomed. But it is so refreshing to a Black person and a woman be able to speak into those industries and ask for what she needs and be given the tools to make award winning work. I truly think if more actors afforded that opportunity, the caliber of movies and tv would be a lot better, but unfortunately it’s mostly about the bottom line and just churning out content no matter how garbage the role or portrayal is these days.

      I just said as a reply to another comment that she gives me neighborhood aunty vibes lol. That lady in the neighborhood who was always looking out for all us kids, feeding us, giving advice, etc.. Since most our parents worked until later.

    Man, I really, really wanna have a cocktail with Viola after this. She's always amazed me as an actor, but I wasn't expecting the truly down to earth, dead pan personality. Awesome interview.

      @Democrats Lie That's a very short and succinct reply and yet I have no idea what you're saying "No" to. I didn't even ask a question.

    This might be the first time ever watching Hot Ones where I kinda can't believe you got this person. I think it's probably cause I'm just blown away by her talent.

      Could not have said it better myself. Her response to the question on the Hero's Journey was amazing.

    In addition to being an incredible actress, Viola is just like… unbelievably smart. She speaks like she knows the secrets to the universe. This is the most engaging conversation about character development and motivations I think I’ve ever watched.

      Too bad it looks like they didn’t do ‘da bomb’ that one everyone struggles with that heat peak that sneaks up on you like crazy and sean always talks about that one. Really wanted to see her reaction on that one haha
