He remembers the name of the cinematographer, and the stunt coordinators. Massive respect.
-
The way he can hold you in the palm of his hand just by speaking casually is quite telling of how talented an actor he is.
-
cant belive he is 70 years, looks amazing
-
Low-key one of the most recognizable voices in film. Love this guy.
-
The Con Air segment is so great. Nice to see he has no vanity or derision about it, that he knows the kind of film it is and enjoyed working on it.
-
i love how he doesn't just talk about himself in the films ,he talks about and compliments all the other people he worked with. ❤️🔥
-
this is by far the best "actor breaks down his most iconic roles" ever. the detail he goes into is immaculate. makes the variety videos look like tiktok.
-
"Burn After Reading" , such an underrated Coen Brothers film.
-
Describing his accent in rounders as "in primary colors" is a really beautiful way of describing that performance
-
“Pyay that myan his myoney” is lowkey one of the dopest lines of all time
-
Marvin Boggs in RED and RED2 is one of my favorite movie characters of all time. He steals every scene.
-
My favorite movie he’s been in is “In The Line Of Fire” starring Clint Eastwood and Rene Russo. Malkovich always plays a brilliant bad guy. Wish they would’ve covered that movie here.
-
I love his candour, his pragmatism, his ability to admit when he’s wrong, his love for cinema. What a great interview of a great screen actor.
-
John Malkovich: "I don't sound anything ike that." Bill Hader: "No, no you sound EXACTLY, like this."
-
You have to admire John's ability to play these complex and unique characters, Pure talent
-
33:17 - "You know, you can feel very strongly about something and be absolutely wrong" - wisdom in these words.
-
I’m really impressed at his ability to remember the names of everyone he has ever worked with and how gracious he is at acknowledging everyone. Such a classy actor.
-
Wow, much respect for the writer of Being John Malkovich for sticking to his guns and refusing to change anything about his script, even if doing so would have guaranteed a chance to get it produced. Obviously it worked out anyway but that was a brave thing for him to do. Gotta respect that integrity.
-
I was lucky enough in 1982 to see John Malkovich and Gary Sinese - total unknowns outside of Chicago - in TRUE WEST at the tiny Cherry Lane Theatre in NYC. Malkovich's performance was one of the greatest I have ever seen. A truly brilliant night at the theatre
-
GQ really has made some of the best content on YouTube with this series. The value in all of these interviews is immeasurable
