- In the new Netflix series “Atypical,” Jennifer Jason Leigh portrays the mother of a teen on the autism spectrum, played by Keir Gilchrist. Gilchrist tells Kathie Lee and Hoda that he had “a lot of friends on the spectrum,” which informs his performance; Leigh says she likes working on a series as opposed to a film because “as an actor, it’s fun to have that long of an arc.”

Jennifer Jason Leigh, Keir Gilchrist Talk About New Netflix Series ‘Atypical’ | TODAY
he's such a good actor oh my gosh
Nicola Venturini yes he's amazing
that's the first thing i thought when i started watching the show
Nicola Venturini he’s so amazing
He’s very good. He’s from the U.K. and he can even speak without an accent.
cvsdvd1 he grew up in Canada. That’s why he doesn’t have the accent
He’s such a good actor that i find it hard to think he’s not autistic in real life...
i had to fr look it up cause i didn’t know lol-
Kai Takahashi me too omg
Yeah that’s funny
@@alexiscake_ me too I also looked a video so iCloud hear his real voice
he is a really good actor indeed
Saw the whole thing in like a day. please make a season two. please
Emma Jacobsen Me too. I hope there is a season two, but it's Netflix, so if there, is, than it's gonna be a year wait
Emma Jacobsen yeah same
Emma Jacobsen same omg
I need a season 2 ASAP😭
Emma Jacobsen I literally watched the whole show in an evening😂 it was just so easy to get through!
My brother is on the spectrum and he really enjoyed this show and I'm hoping for a season 2 because it's something he understands and relates too
i'm also on the spectrum, this series is easier to follow.
Because whe know what he's going through!
Moon Child go to hulu and watch good doctor it about about doctor that has autism
Season 2 is out now!
@@kevinvisscher7815 How accurate do you find the show?
@@noname-tj3rp it's pretty accurate. a little too much drama, but they gotta get people to watch the serie right? without the drama, nobody would watch it.
He seems so nervous and awkward, poor bb
Carley marie read an article... and he said he’s not into interviews, or red carpet features I’m grasping that he’s an introvert
I LOVE THIS SHOW BTW
My 3yr old son is on the spectrum so this show hits alot of emotional chords and kinda introduces me to the future of whats to come. Love love love Atypical
I thought the same
The guy is 30. You calling him a baby is fricking strange 😕
My brother has autism. I'm really glad they made a show about this. People need to be aware that autistic people deserve love and respect just like any other person.
Katie F check out the good doctor. Incredible show.
I’m autistic but I think it’s overly exaggerated lol
cory vu that’s interesting to hear actually. my brother is autistic and I’ve found that many other people with autistic siblings or family members like that the show also show the struggles between the family. my brother personally said that sometimes Sam is a lot like him and other times he’s the complete opposite. But everyone with autism is different, so I think it just depends on the person.
I think everyone knows abt autism
Honestly, while this isn't as bad as "curious incident", I'm glad this show isn't so prominent in my country.
There are enough bad portrayals and stereotypes floating around as it is.
He's so GOOD LOOKING WTF
Omg I know he's so cute!!
InfinityDesertIris He literally looks identical to this guy at school who everyone says that about too. I legit see him every time I see Keir
Hot AF! Good thing he's actually like 25 lol and not 18, 'cause I'm old and I felt weird about it 🤣
YYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS
InfinityDesertIris it's in the middle
He’s wearing black nail polish.. that’s hot.
I am shocked
oh yes
I didn't even realize that until reading this comment. :O
Affirms my belief that guys can wear nail polish too & something I can further convince my family not to give me crap for!
He's actually in a rock metal band. As in full on screaming. It's called Whelm.
ohh yeah
Just finished it. I need more!!!
Kaitlyn Moorman samee
+Hey It's Thandy SAME
sameeee
Kaitlyn Moorman the end was so intense
Just finished season 2 myself! I’m ready for season 3 meme need more!
What I learned watching this
-the mom sucks
-the dad is awesome
-Casey and Evan is the best couple
-Sam got a you know what in an igloo
-Antarctica
don't forget about the HOT BARTENDER
😂😂😂
MOM SUCKS. WHO EVEN SHIPS NICK AND ELSA
😂😂😂
PineapplePancakes :3 me 😂😂
shes soooo good at making people hate her character. Shes great! and he's absolutely amazing playing sam!
She is so ugly 🤮
@@humzakhan3341 that is so rude to say, she’s gorgeous and u are clearly insecure about yourself to feel the need to comment on looks
@@humzakhan3341 whats wrong with u.
Well when you cheat on your wife and break up your family it’s pretty easy to hate someone.
Please season 2 it's was great I saw just one day
Caesar Ortiz same lmao
Caesar Ortiz same !
just finished in one sitting hahaha
Really, it so deep this tv show
Same
I can't with myself I finished it in one day and now I have nothing to watch :(((((((((((
Rainbow Unicorn stranger things
Rainbow Unicorn same lol
Rainbow Unicorn watch the flash
isabel norton yassss
ImCloroxWipess s any show recommendations oh god and I've watched ..: ahs flash arrow supergirl this show stranger things etc
Stayed up all night finishing the first season! Such a great show!
Mel Hynes Saaame
Mel Hynes samee
He's still a little awkward... I was almost hoping for him to shock me as some suave, sophisticated, smooth-talking dude.
same 😭😭
The main reason I love this series is because there's no one in this Atypical universe who have malice, ulterior motives or evil in their heart. Any mistakes they do is purely from the point of them being human. That they have both dark and bright sides in them. And they are aware of their mistakes, they are prepared to face the consequences, feel sorry for it and make corrections. This series is just pure quality writing and acting all around.
Why was this interview so awkward
I think the intensity of assertiveness about meaningless questions by the talk ladies freaked out both Jennifer and Keir.
His character is so convincing that I thought he was autistic in real life!!
I’m so attracted to him I don’t understand
He has a sweet heart and can't help but say the truth!
same same
right like idk whyyyy
Me either
Saaame
He looks like a young Johnny Depp (Nightmare on Elm Street era) and has that kind of intensity about him too.
Agreed 100% with the Chris Klein and Keanu Reeves vibe
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh
except short but yes nightmare on elm street for sure. johnny aged badly
I love how shy he is :)
Omg at the interviewers focusing on the mom only. Like he would answer a question and they would be like "yeah so jenifer..."
"You're kinda the scared mum who doesn't want his son to go through any pain" how did they mess up on that? Also I feel like these interviewers really didn't watch the show, because Jennifer does play a helicopter mum!
Jennifer Jason Leigh looks so much prettier on this show than she does on ATypical where it looks like she's had a botched facelift.
Khaled Hussain I bet she loves that you said that
That was what I was thinking too!!
Khaled Hussain and sometimes her voice is so annoying and screechy but here it’s fine
Her mouth is so big she looks like the joker
Exactly what u was thinking
discovered Atypical last night, i'm so happy to see Keir Gilchrist! United states of tara was also really good and this new show is too!
I cannot wait for season 2 of Atypical! I just really hope it's soon!
This Keir is fantastic in the series , I hope he picks up some recognition. This is fine work.
kier is fully 27 years old - i wouldn’t call him a teenager
so only one question to the principal actor of the show? Can you do your work plz?
My son is autistic, this movie is so spot on! I love this series 🥰
It's so strange to see him speaking normally and expressing himself perfectly- I love that he's still shy in real life, maybe even more shy in interviews than his character is in the show. He's an amazing actor.
Started it today. Finished it today. Lovely
I loved this show. I've never been diagnosed with autism but I do really struggle with people and keep to myself more than most. This show was heartwarming and comforting.
Just discovered this show last week, it's REALLY good! The characters are compelling, and the acting is fantastic. Well done!
Nah it's horrible 😭
I LOVE that seriousness of Keir Gilchrist! 💖👏
Would love to see season 2!!!! I saw it in one day!!
SAME
It was an absolutely AMAZING show. I loved every single episode. Wow!!! Please give us season 2, I just finished watching it and I'm about to re watch it again. It was so funny and sad and just sooooo many emotions wow!
Can't wait for the second season !!!
This show is too short. Should have had at least 12 episodes. Plus I read it may already be getting cancelled. It's so good.
Why???? Makes me sad
they've confirmed a season 2 now!
Lori Hackney ikr I just finished it today. It’s so good
There’s a season two now watch
Hungrylittledolphen123 Plz waiting for season 3 !!!
When people tell me I “need” to watch a show I force myself to stick with it but when I saw the pilot to Atypical I was instantly glued an loved how different this show is compared to anything else I’ve seen.
finished in a day... Season 2 please come!!!!!
He is a exceptional actor. Just finished watching this show. Very good show.
Keir you are an amazing actor. This show was so good. Words cannot describe the way I feel watching. I'm speechless!
I love him
Keirgilcrist. .I'm brasilian, but love your work.
Dudu dudu Dudu eu não entendi seu comentário..
Mean please !
Dudu dudu where are you from?
Dudu dudu Ok ! Me too ! I get it.
+Dircemargutti Margutti Why are you trying so hard to look like a foreigner?
Really hope there is a season 2 and that they bring it out soon because I ended up watching the first season in one day I NEED MORE
Watched it all in one day non stop. Last episode I waited for the skip to next episode and it didnt apperaed then checked and legit began to cry because im addicted and I have to watch it. SEASON 2.
omg I freakin love this show there best be a season twooo
just watched season 2 in 5 hours. Such a great series. Never gets boring and is very entertaining.
I’ve fallen in love with the programme. Keir is a fantastic actor. I wish I could meet his character. He is so straight and honest which makes him adorable.
I just watched season two and I LOVE IT!
honestly i cannot express how phenomal of an actor keir is,
This is an awesome show and must have more seasons please!
My brother has autism and both me and my parents enjoy this show very much , it’s good to see things that he relates to and as he gets older things that can happen, We’ve just been waiting for Season 3 at this point haha
Amazing show, brilliantly perfectly cast. Love Jennifer Jason Leigh, one of my fave actresses ever. So diverse and versatility talented/ super creative like her dad. Love Kier as well. 😍🥰😘🌟⚜️✨💎🫶🏻👑🤩❤️♥️👏🏻🏆
*Please season 2, left me on a cliff hanger*
this show literally makes me happy.
I accidentally watched the whole season lol 😂😂😂I need a 2nd season
Ana Leah Bertubin same in only one day
@Nichole Hastings that's what my Autistic son would say 😁
I love this show so much! Took me 2 week's to watch all 4 seasons!
What a waste of life 👁👄👁
Am I the only one that HATES the way Jennifer does this thing with her lips like she wants them to be bigger or something
O-M-G!!! I said the same thing! I’m glad I’m not the only one. I literally cringed when she kept doing it in the show😂😂
thought i was the only one
my mum does the same thing i hate ittt
it just makes them look smaller 🤣
here maybe thats why kylie jenner was insecure bout her lips, ppl bully on this simply and miserable details that not even its important
Watching it now!!! Soo amazing!!
THE NAILSS OMGGGG ❤❤❤
Just died watching a typical today (at 4:00 am) and although I'm only on episode 7 this show is so amazing.
Sorry to hear of your passing, but pleased that you can get internet where you are.
Keir did so amazing and he is such an outstanding actor
I was so happy when I saw season 2!
Please give us season 2 ASAP!!!
All the actors and actresses are really great. Great family dynamics in the show. Very realistic! Amazing! As a person on the spectrum, it is sorta embarrassing to see the stuff you actually do in real life but you are watching somone else doing it on the screen. Like randomly talking about birds at work all the time. Lol. Anyhow, I changed that. To all the people who made this show: thank you for all of your hard work.
Great Production
he reminds me so much of my science teacher oh my god the looks and everything
I came here to watch an interview. Maybe there was more actually broadcasted on TV version but in this clip the hosts just kind of talk at them and introduce us to Atypical. A lot of us are on here bc we’ve seen it-would have liked to hear more from the actors.
I absolutely love his acting in atypical he made it seem like he really had autism and to be honest I was convinced he actually did for awhile
I just found my new favourite show . thanks to netflix ^_^ I loved this guy since It's kind of a funny story , i could relate so bad to his character.. he's also a cutie 😍
Love this program. So much authenticy & messy Love ✨
Keir is an amazing actor. Really amazing!!
can't wait for season 2!
Yasssss!!!! I need a season 2!!!!!
my brother has austism and he has a lot of similar things that they display with Sam. The major similarity is the not touching things, my brother hates when people touch or move his stuff without asking first or unless he asks you to. My brother is 22, I am almost 15 and at some times I am more mature then him. My brother acts as normal as most people, his austism does have it's affects but he handles it well, everyone has different reactions to different things including disabilities.
I love anything that Jennifer Leigh is in.
I just finished it! I loved it!
I just feel like I’m watching the show watching this interview
i really want a season 2 I loved it so much.
I need a season 2!
Finished season 1 in one day!! I neeeed season 2!😳
I just finished it AND I NEED SEASON TWO PL0X OmG
this show needs to get discovered more.
I love the show!!! Watched the whole thing in one night!
I glad I Saw firts and two seasons one by one in a couple days! but, I can wait for thrid season! bcs I actually don't know what to expect and that's nice!
I watched the whole thing today MAKE A SEASON 2
Need season 2 so baddddddd
Great series! I want season 2.
HE DID ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, MY GOD
We need another season stat. I watched the whole show in one day
I cried for this
As a viewer of this series I can relate to a lot of things as Sam: I’m on the spectrum, I absolutely love penguins, and I have problems with school mainly my fellow peers though just like Sam does. So, I guess that’s all. 🐧
I love Sam's voice
Omg I love atypical it's my frickin favorite😍😍😍I need more😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
My dad told me about it and then i watched the whole season in one night now the second season coming out and im hyped
Love the show!
If there's a season 4 (which I hope there will be) I want to be part of the cast. Since I'm on the autism spectrum myself.
I love this show so much!
Quality show. It's up there in my top Netflix recommendations.
