i love this lady, she asks the questions, but lets the answers flow freely.
Si 👌🏽
Exactly, no ego.. love it.. very rare in Hollywood
She doesn't try to be the center of attention.
fazeel ashraf
Agree. Just stay off social issues
fazeel ashraf - she's not that great. She seemed to forget to talk to some of the actors - Matthew Rhys for instance!
This woman is the type of host this show needs and deserves. She's fun and engaging. Doesn't interrupt which seems to be a constant with the previous hosts and she legitimately looks like she's having fun with the guests
Yeah people watch these to see a roundtable conversation, not to watch a host do 6 different interviews crammed into one video.
I absolutely loveeeee that she seems as invested in the conversation as we as viewers are
I’ve wondered if the other interviewer actually clipped the actors responses or it was it an editorial process to fit the time constraints..
Agreed! I watched maybe 30 seconds of the Actresses Roundtable and I immediately lost interest when I found out she wasn't hosting. She should be the *only* host of this series, imo
Actually the other interviews are mostly cut-short, that's why you think it was cut by the host. No, it wasn't.
Why is this series marketed so poorly? I've never heard about it. I just randomly stumbled upon it from watching various videos on TH-cam. These actors are all amazing! This video definitely deserves more than the 270k viewers it has right now.
Half a million hits. I think its marketed just fine. Lol
@@mikekillagreen9432 he means in terms of like promotion or advertisement
@@darnellmajor9016 I know that. My point exactly
same
This series popped up in my feed because of other movie centered clips. Immediate subscription.
If you like these, SAG-AFTRA does conversation interviews.
She handled this interview like a boss. That round table was filled with nothing but A star actors, must be nerve-racking for alot of people.
kumi w also it wasn't the annoying british guy who always interrupting them
Jym E. Changa I was thinking the same thing (but don’t forget MBJ)
İts not a big deal,they're just actors and shes professional
she totally did her homework
Really? Darren Criss? A(list) actor?...presuming you meant that with your "A star actors" comment? Most people have never heard of this guy. I've never heard of Mattew Rhys,either.
Guess you gotta be glued to your TV,which is pathetically sad
Jason Bateman just seems like the nicest, most genuine dude you'd ever want to meet.
He definitely does, agreed!
He’s not he murdered my dog with a Twix :(
@@aznlookalikesyk That is actually possible if you feed it to the dogs, the chocolate will kill them.
He can play an assjole sooooo well. I love him!
Ele é. 🐱
WE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE INTERVIEWER, She is awesome with the actors and actresses...
Charlene Walker tuin madtey
I totally agree
She really keeps the energy flowinh
@@willkoestner4159 and doesn't rudely interrupts nor ignores the others. These is for both of the male reporters!
She doesn't talk enough
Kudos to the person who went through and added the references for those who don't know what they're talking about
darren getting defensive about musicals is SUCH a mood
ugh i love him so much

Yoongichi thanks for doing this
Dude thanks
Thank you!!
Yoongichi MVP
Damn you got too much time on your hands
Idk why but it seems like Simmons has such a respect for Bateman and Jordan (especially Jordan). You can tell by the way he looks at them. I love seeing actors have respect for other people in the business
Adama Jobe because he was once a struggling unknown despite having immense talent. Bateman has proven for years he’s a fantastic dramatic and comedic actor and Jordan is very precise and rich in talent as well like Simmons
Adama Jobe jk Simmons is so real
Hope to see them all work together on something someday.
@@mialovely7864 same!! Simmons and Bateman were both in Zootopia together but we didn't get to see them interact lol
@@filmfangirls9163 they were actually on screen together in "Juno".;
I love these roundtable interviews. Also, Lacey Rose doing a fantastic job. She asks at the right time, really listens, going with the flow but also keep the conversations alive. Outstanding!
She's great, But my one critique is there are some people at these round tables that speak a lot less than others. I feel like as the interview where they should make a point to specifically ask them questions. Everyone should be talking a little more equally. But like I said great.
The difference between the way they interview the men and women is always so interesting, they focus on asking about technical questions for men and then the women get social questions mostly.
Gloria Galore Yeah I fucking hate that. I hear about the Social Justice stuff all the time. This is a roundtable of Actors. Please focus more on your craft.
Women : "We need more women" always some shit like that
@@livingashtree1942 but we do need more women in cinema.
@@PVilla27 No we don't, like we don't need more men in cinema...
@@livingashtree1942 So... when the actors working now retire cinema will end?
You can tell Jeff Daniels really loves what he does just by his facial expressions when listening to the others speak. He gives that creepy, eery, smile. lmao.
He reminds me of a boss you have who you can trust his leadership and is approachable.
Daniels is an old pro. And he demonstrates that. Acting is both a business and an art for him, apparently, something he loves and occasionally becomes bored by. Like the rest of us in our jobs!
Jason Bateman is one of the most underrated artists ever. he has been around a very long time is a great comedic and naturally actor just like his sister
Yeah but didn't he play one roll? He is the passive aggressive sarcast
@@TheMuari No. Watch Dodgeball, watch Ozark, watch The Gift.
@@TheMuariplease watch arrested development! comedic gold !!!
I love this moderator
Mama Seokjin she’s way better than that French guy that keeps interrupting guests in other interviews
Mama Seokjin she’s the best
Me too. She sets it up, gets it moving and then steps back. It's really nice.
Agreed
Michael B Jordan looks like hes mentally taking notes learning from all these amazing actors
28:03 The sync is uncanny
woAH
I think you meant 38:01
Noice. They were playing a secret game of never have I ever.
@@esfurcy where??
I feel like a proud family member watching Darrin hold his own on a panel with these monoliths of acting... like i remember him in avpm and now to see him be such a recognized and accomplished actor im so happy
This interviewer, no audience, and mixing male and females together and this show will be perfect.
Huh? Why bring that type of energy to this? They aren't set up separately to be sexist it's about the experience. Whether you like it or jot men and women have different experiences. That's human. A man can't speak to the experiences a woman faces in the industry and a white woman cannot relate to what a black man experiences in the industry either.
@Vee So they can't sit at the same table?? Actor and Actresses should be on the same episode. They do it with screenwriters and songwriters. Why separate the stars?
@@kerrajohnson3203 Why combine them? You know men and women can do things separately and its OK right? Ffs this "dont leave anyone out" culture is pathetic.
@@jesseh.saunders2112 I call it the butthurt culture
They do that just not this one.
Jason Bateman articulates his views so well
I'm a real fan of Jason Bateman's work, its really interesting to hear his perspective on his roles. This show has a great format for getting real talk rather than just promoting projects like talk shows.
I love this moderator she very attentive and switches topics without cutting off anyone rudely...pls make her do all the interviews..
so much better than the awful Galloway
Jason Bateman sounds smarter than I thought he would. I mean - he always sounds smart in the roles he plays but I still didn't expect him to be this smart or well spoken.
NC Arts Review you should listen to the armchair expert podcast with him. 👌🏻
Extremely witty as well. Watch his MovieFone Unscripted interviews
You've been missing out on a literal comedic Genius.
While Jason is younger than Jeff Daniels, he's been in the business a long time 40+ years. He seems like a person that learns from others' mistakes. So when you look at all the child actors from the 80's that took wrong turns in life he apparently paid attention.
He’s been acting since he was a teen.. he was in Teen Beat magazine cover loo
This moderator is amazing. She brought real questions to the men's roundtable that the last fool never did. He stroked egos. Bringing up paid equity and harassment, craft and ambition, on set and off set experiences, amazing job. She listened, she excited, wonderful. Please, she needs to do this going forward and solo.
Hearing Jeff Daniels talk about his experiences is gold.
I can't stop staring at Bateman's distorted watch.
Pushkar Mankar *Everyone tries to look Bateman's watch*
I don't know much about Darren Criss but he speaks very well, he seems like a smart and interesting person.
Check out Starkid ;)
@@kevinkellyswellies So surreal to see him from when I was a little girl and he was nobody posting Disney covers to where he is now. So proud of him.
Agreed
Ghost_Hands Oh he’s totally awesome
I realized how amazing of an actor he is in the Versace series.
Jeff Daniels doesn't get enough credit, he's up there with the best actors of all time, he can do it all and seems to be a genuine good human being.
💯
I love watching these never stop making them I like hearing actors talk about their craft and work!
Rey Leon I love this series when it's focused on the work and not on other issues. That's not to say that it's not touched upon but, it's much more interesting to hear how acting actually works. The actress roundtable was, for the most part, terrible. It was just this issue and that issue.
yaaaaaassss.
Punctuation. Use it.
Rey Leon absolutely!... my favs. So insightful and inspiring.
Rey Leon
I dislike they are all liberal democrats but as long as they stay off their bleeding heart social issues I totally agree. Anotherwards if they stick to acting, filming, etc LOVE THIS PROGRAM. keep off other political views like crappy daytime tv (the view...ignorant babbling panelist) then this is a great find! Really good!
I love Michael B's moments of silence, he seems to be listening and absorbing from some of the industry's veterans...#smartman
Totally agree!
I love watching these never stop making them I like hearing actors talk about their craft and work!
Actually he's staying quiet because he needs to stay in his place and understand his place that's just how it is, also maybe because he just doesn't know what to say, he's the type of guy that seem like a mentally slow person.. oh yea and his acting is complete garbage. He's only in there because they needed to fill in check mark of diversity, don't get me wrong the one with Denzel Washington I loved it, he's a true actor, and when he speaks it it commands 100% attention, when Michael b speaks it's like a fly flying around a room that you just keep swatting. 🤷 He's a subpar actor at best I don't even think he's that?..
That point Michael made about his mother being forced to see him die onscreen over and over again during most of his character roles really highlighted a fairly ignored aspect of acting. We never hear about the mental and emotional toll that such roles take on loved ones watching the actors/actresses being attacked or killed onscreen. Yes, it's not real, but it looks real enough to have a major negative impact on the family members and friends watching.
That’s some pussy ass shit.
Yeah, for most people, films represent pure entertainment and most become fans of a person that only exists in that script. For me, knowing the person in front of the camera, I have to really focus on the story and not the actor to enjoy the film. (If the movie is worth it.)
MBJ is on top of his game for real to have made it where Killmonger would not die on screen.
and?
@@Dead-cg1yy what
I love it when the actors raise questions to each other, it make it feel more interesting and natural. Great series, and I can't stop bing watching.
Kudos to the interviewer. I love that the issue of #MeToo was brought up along a group of high-profile male actors, and could tell it made the air a little tense, but Rose stuck it out and didn't try to lighten the mood to make them more comfortable, but give this issue the seriousness it deserves.
Michael B. gonna be a walking muscle in a few years wtf, dudes jacked af!
Zarkee Poo 😂😂😂
Can we appreciate Darren's jacket?
We do and we stan
I want that jacket!
It was fascinating listening to Bateman describing how his actor self creates little moments in front of the camera for his editor self. The advantage of being in front of the camera and in the editing room is enviable.
Darren Criss is accomplished at singing, dancing and composing!!! He´s great!!!!! Love him
i swear i tried to pay attention but michael b jordan in that shirt...those arms. Wow.
edit: some people took this joke a little too literally.
Marceline Abadeer surprisingly, I was able to listen. This was a great interview. Listening to the older actors speak was great. Everything they said was pretty relatable.
I thought I was at an NRA meeting, with all those guns out
🙄
that back of his skull seems different.
Á. Helguson omg you funny 🤣🤣🤣
Whenever Jason stutters, I stop seeing Jason Bateman and start seeing Marty Byrde trying to talk his way out of getting killed.
When he's quiet, he looks like Marty Byrde, thinking of all the ways to avoid getting arrested and/or murdered by the Feds or the Cartel
Hahahahahaha i felt the same. I was expecting Navarro to appear and kill everybody.
Whenever Jason stutters, I stop seeing Jason Bateman and start seeing Marty Byrde trying to talk his way out of getting killed.

Michael Bluth all day lol
I love how she doesn't try to go into their personal life and ask the more important questions like their careers and experiences. 👍 so much respect
jason bateman is aging wonderfully. he's 50!!
Mbj looking swole af
YUM
Creed Time probably
I can't stop picturing him naked.
D Leo his chin got lost? Lol
Is this a thing? Is Michael B known for not dating black women?
Dude I stopped watching this roundtables cuz of the old interviewer, now you got my attention again with this cool lady THR.
Jason Bateman is an unbelievable actor
Jason is such a natural, I love watching him.
Hilarious too. Notably, as small of a role as he had in Dodgeball, he stole the entire film for me personally.
"Don't let it kill the love for between action and cut"
- Jeff Daniels.
I wish Matthew Rhys would have talked more. I like him. There was too much emphasis on Jeff and JK Simmons (both of whom I adore by the way).
Xenija Grünschnabel Agreed. I m not sure if its is he is just a more of a listener not a talker and a bit more humble. Or wither he wasn't being invited to converse as much.
I was thinking the whole way through about how reserved he seems.
He wasn't even featured at the end of the video lol. But I guess, he was just listening more, because it's not like these discussions are heavily edited.
That's a trend on these roundtables. The veterans do a lot of the talking. I think the young guys take it as an opportunity to learn a bit more.
The young guys give more room for the veterans. A sign of respect, if you will.
I have a whole new level of respect for Darren as an actor after this season on American Crime Story. I really hope he will be back in another season!
Did you watch Hollywood?
when I found out the Michael B. Jordan portrayed Wallace in "The Wire" i went back on binged on it, such a well written show
I freaking LOVE Jason Bateman. He seems like such a down-to-earth and thoughtful type of guy.
Funny too
Of all THR interviews I've viewed, this is hands down the best. The actors, the moderator, the questions, the honesty and authenticity are refreshing and compelling. My soul feels filled in an odd way. Amazing.
Having watching all 3 seasons of OZARK Bateman is the man
This is the best one probably, I didn’t catch her name but man she ran this beautifully. And the guests all seem to genuinely enjoy it and enjoy each other
Every once in a while I come back to watch these videos. I love Darren and Michael and how they are in there with more experienced actors. They are all in the same page regardless of how many years they’ve been in the industry. They are all amazing
Darren Criss is such a cute & genuinely nice person!
yeah, i liked how quick he was to stop the "how did you know" (the penis joke.)
This girl is the best interviewer in this series, she is very personable and confident and the actors seem to feel comfortable answering her questions. This was a great roundtable!
One of the most enjoyable roundtable talks. Salute for the host. She's good, knew what she was doing, and respectful.
man... darren criss is amazing
People keep on saying that there was not enough of Jordan and Rhys, but I think the Interviewer was trying to use stuff people talked about to lead naturally to the next point and its just that Jordan and Rhys didn't seem to interject much into the conversation, I wouldn't blame the interviewer as much
The OG's got more to say they have a much longer resume
I get that some people want to speak more than others, and she was going with the natural flow. But I think as an interviewer. She should have made a little bit more of an effort to ask the quiet people questions specifically. But a great interviewer none the less.
@@TruthSmalls Michael B Jordan is definitely an OG. He’s been acting since he was a child, 14 plus movies, 15 plus tv shows, 5 video games 🙃
I'm still always so proud whenever I see Darren referred to as one of these A-list actors. It seems like yesterday he was that dorky guy making goofy songs on his guitar. But I guess that isn't far off today. So proud of our Harry Freakin Potter!!!
How are my eyes always drawn to Jason, automatically? i dont know i cant help it...LOVE HIM
Jason Bateman is so funny he should definitely be on the comedy round table.
I just love Jason Bateman, he does deadpan comedy, so well. And also Darren Criss was great in American Crime Story/Versace, after his musical role on Glee.
MBJ said he wanted to do some voice acting for anime. He is going to be a main voice on an anime by rooster teeth. Look at this man go!
Kyle Moller wait are you serious!! i love RT, is it a new anime?
EpicBeastism ya it's called genlock I think, comes out this fall? Winter? I think they also got Dakota Fanning as well.
Can you really call Genlock anime?
Darren Criss is so so so handsome. Darren is such an amaaazing actor. I looove him of coursee! ✨✨
I want to see Jason Bateman and Darren Criss together in a movie
I like Jason’s approach on watching himself, it shows in his subtleties.
This episode was absolutely gripping. Hats off to all the actors at the table.
I'm slowly realizing i have a man crush on Jason Bateman. I kinda wish he was my dad. Even though he's only 9 years older then me. I... I've said to much.
Hahahaha... I see the discomfort by the end
When I say I can't get enough of Micheal B. Jordan I mean it like I love this guy, his personality, his smile, and his looks covers most of it I may only be 15 but I dream to meet him some day and will never stop dreaming.
I mean his reasoning and karma alone
Ok.
Rock on. Please comeback and share when you do meet him. Hope it lives up to the movie unfolding in your mind. You say nice to meet you then what....? Maybe check in with the high school student who took him to prom. She got to meet him. You want to be prepared for your shot.
I loved this! I’m a fan of everyone at this table especially Darren & Michael and I loved the whole discussion the only thing I would change is that I really wish that the beautiful Matthew Rhys would have talked more, he seemed to be listening a lot more than talking and I wanted to hear him !
SOMEBODY! Give Darren Criss a sword and put him on a horse please. I would love to see him in a genre film.
That would be awesome
The best interviewer out of all for these roundtables!
I loved this so much. Jason Bateman is just one of the best! All of them are outstanding -- great panel.
Huge fan of Matthew Rhys as an actor and as a personality!! But here, in this roundtable, I am so impressed by his intense, respectful, quiet listening style, which is something he imparts to his characters which makes them so intriguing.
This is my first episode of this series that I've seen and I absolutely love this. You always have interviews where it's a single actor just answering questions but to get A list celebrities to bounce off each other and interact the way they did in this interview is amazing to watch. It's nice to see them have a conversation vs just answering a one and done question. Amazing show, once again I loved it!
Well! This was a fun interview to watch. I really enjoyed it and I was so happy to see Darren and Michael here on this roundtable. Really happy for them!
When Darren Criss described the next project he wants to do, it sounded a lot like game of thrones lol... Make it happen HBO put that guy in the spin-off show!
When he said wacky, I thought about Tim Burton
Game of thrones is getting a spin off show?
Yoongichi yes they've ordered scripts of pilots for about 5 spin-offs, and as of now a prequel by Jane Goldman has been picked up and will begin shooting soon.
Auden Is it a pilot it straight to series?
Thank you for getting rid of the audience.
What audience? THR has been having these industry Roundtable series for years without an audience. You must be confusing this series with another series or another brand.
@@OneLoveRSR
I know this is two months after the fact, and you probably already know, but there is an episode or two of this specific show that was filmed in front of a live audience
(If this was intended as a joke, then I apologize for ruining it)
@@OneLoveRSR Nope, you're wrong. They did a trial run with a live audience in a few of these last year: th-cam.com/video/KGFS_lkUk9w/w-d-xo.html
Yo. This shit needs to go viral. Its so special to hear about reputable actors’ perspectives on their career and experience in the industry. I feel humbled by them and its humbling to hear them talk this freely because the fantastical narrative that celebrities are these higher than human beings gets thinner and thinner with series like these.
That "You haven't though" at 58:20 was so sweet
26:45 JK Simmons throwing shade at soap operas... when Michael B Jordan was on “All my Children” for three years, lol.
Chucho E. Quintero lol I doubt MBJ even felt that, he was a kid then
He was also like "you can write backstory for characters in movies but it won't work in TV shows" as if MBJ hasn't been in any TV shows... Aside from All My Children he did two seasons of Friday Night Lights plus The Wire, Parenthood...
Kate Lattey As a round table he wasn’t giving MBJ that advice directly to point out the obvious, it was more for the general audience sake, as you can tell by the way they all speak.
like he knew 🙄
Very Hearty Group Panel & Discussion. Michael B Jordan's input on creating Backstory in Journals for the Characters He has played was very inspiring as a Fellow Actor. Every Actor on this Panel gave Creative Input and Credible Advice concerning their careers and notable roles that they have portrayed.
I am totally hooked on these discussions- they have greatly helped me deal with feedback in life and rejections in my career progression.
This is great. Incredible actors and fantastic moderating. LOVE IT
These guys should all do a western together.
This is for MBJ. Go dude! keep making action flicks!!!!!
Once again--I don't know why (yet) that I keep coming back to this roundtable, but this is the BEST of them all.
Hands down one of the best of this series I’ve seen.To have so many people in this round table all of them great actors and not feel like anyone was hogging the spotlight and everyone had poignant things to offer that was superb! Hats of the the interviewer
Rhys and Criss are the best male actors this year, they both must win an Emmy in Drama Lead Actor and in Lead Actor in a Limited series, respectively.
Any roundtable with this interviewer is going to be great. She directs the conversation so well that it flows in one fluid motion rather than interruptions or awkward lulls! Amazing
This is one of the greatest most useful conversations I think you've had over the years. Congratulations.
Jason Bateman is interesting without even opening his mouth. Yet he’s so humble. Just a likeable guy.
Darren and Michael opposites in this roundtable. Darren spoke every chance he got and Michael was so reserved and taking it in.
This is a great episode! These guys are notorious nice guys all gathered together. Loads of insight
I'm here for Jason "Daddy" Bateman. :)
Fantastic conversation THR! Keep up the great work.
i so love listening to wise older men talk from the heart so nice advice for any career i think
wow, just found this channel, very nice. I love that you write little exerpts to explain the small details, it's kind of like being the journalist who's done their research over here ! Thanks again, this is so well done!
after watching a bunch of these i've got to say, this girl is a fantastic interviewer. she stays on topic, moves the conversation along, and picks up on important cues and prods when needed. really well done.
Jeff Daniels is definitely an amazing actor.
