*I watched "Banshee" when it was prime-time on Cinemax. The ONLY reason I was interested in this show, (And I read the comic years ago) was when I found out HE was playing The Homelander. He earned the Emmy YEARS ago. He's just too talented to get it.
Bruh and he goes through a FULL range of emotions as this character like constantly. Hes amazing. This role really showed everything he’s capable of, I won’t be surprised if we see a lot more of him in other shows and movies now with big fat checks written out to his name.
@@apexv0322 He kinda is. I can already picture him wearing Homelander's outfit and everything. Yeah it might not be better than Antony's, but it is pretty damn close.
According to him, he did it out of spite to his agent. The agent kept pestering him to do it so he said he barely made an effort and sent one in just to show the agent he wouldnt get the job.
He NAILS that role. Every thought going through the character’s head is perfectly conveyed. Slight ticks of his face to raw rage mixed with the sense of being alone with a world beneath him. 👍
Anthony Stahr is one of today’s most versatile actors ever. Just look at the montage here of all the different characters he played so far! He has that De Niro Way about him to convert into any role he chooses to play. This grandmother loves him. Bravo, I’m a fan.
He played identical twins in the New Zealand show outrageous fortune. Both characters are so convincing yet different. One is so sexy and the other is sophomoric and unattractive.
In a way that's how Ford ended up getting Han Solo, he was told he was just reading to help others read because they were not going to use him, but after everyone read for it they realized that the rude stoic don't care vibe was actually the best way to play Han Solo and he got the part.
-"Hmm, today I will send a half-assed audition reel to a superhero show production." -"Congratulations! you got the lead role, Mr. Starr!" *Task failed successfully*
Watch Outrageous Fortune, he plays two twins who are polar opposites - it's an incredible performances, you'd truly believe that two different people were playing the characters. I've always thought he was an incredible actor since like 2006
Its pretty crazy but his facial features are actually perfect for the roll, his lip and the shade of his eyes give real serial killer but charismatic type vibe
That’s how Kazunari Ninomiya got his role in Letters from Iwo Jima! He is a big fan of Clint Eastwood and that’s why he took the audition for the movie, but as he found he wouldn’t be able to meet Eastwood face to face, he acted test scenes with no passions, no impressive expressions. Then later, Eastwood found his emotionless calm action in the audition tape and chose him!
Man his acting in this series is incredible, watching him in the show makes me feel uneasy. Honestly one of the best villians ever imo and the writing just frames him so perfectly.
Lmao damn ppl are kinda thirsty in these comments, like I understand the compliment but the "so freaking" along with the exclamation mark, like calm tf down lmao this is a TH-cam comment section, just go scream it to his face personally😂
That's exactly how Lucius Malfoy got cast too The guy came in and wanted to be Lockhart because he was tired of doing villain roles, so when they asked him to read for Malfoy he did it with low effort and a little disdain.
He said he did the audition out of spite. His publicist was pestering him to audition for a long time. He sent it to prove them wrong so they can get off his back. The rest is history.

i remember hearing something about how Antony Starr originally wanted to play and auditioned as Mother's Milk, but, like this short says, his stoic and don't-care attitude was perfect for the role of Homelander
There are only a few people who are only meant for certain roles, like wolverine for huge jackman or deadpool for Ryan Reynolds. Antony starr was just one of the many few who was actually meant for this very role and was just born into it, which am very happy to have stumbled upon when the show very first started.
Only two actors in recent times can pull off that blank stare, as if they’re not there, they’re taking you in and examining a person under a microscope. Giancarlo and Starr.
I mean, it's a lot of fun and stuff, but he's playing a monster, basically, that can adhere a little to you if you act like it for an extended period of time. I'm sure he worries a little about being too rude out of character or smth like that
He didn’t necessarily NOT want it, he just got asked to send a video audition, he did, without much effort, and they REALLY loved it so he ended up getting it, and he is now very happy he got the role.
Had no idea about the casting tape. Is hillarious when you think how damn creepy, psychotic, and plain evil he is as Homelander. He absolutely nailed it.
That reminds me of Josh Holloway auditioning for Sawyer's part in Lost. The dude forgot the text so out of anger he kicked a chair away in front of the auditioners. The casting guy went "OMG is perfect"
I seen a video of Antony Starr talking about his audition for Homelander, he said he was very angry during it because he didn’t have time to do an audition but did it anyway!!
I’m actually watching banshee right now , incredible show .. but after the 1st season I didn’t know where it has room to grow. They did everything in that season. The whole time I’m like this is homelander bro
As a huge fan of the comics, I feel this show made some decisions I wouldn't have made. But casting Anthony as Homelander was absolutely inspired. He was born to play the role and absolutely nails it, consistently.
Dude accidentaly became one of the best antagonist ever
Iconic
In banshee he was a protagonist!
And in the Boys he is cooler. Everyones entitled to their opinion, not eveyone liked Banshee.@@CajunReaper95
Keep the likes at 666
And that kind of makes him a hero which heroes are never people who want to lead but are called to do it
*protagonist
And that series gave a HUGE boost to his career!
The hugest he will never ever get a role that hits harder

I'm still fascinated how he can smile without any warmth.
it’s the way the muscles around the eyes move. It’s the main difference between a genuine smile and a fake one.
@@tirididjdjwieidiw1138 While true it's more than that. The muscles around the eyes do often move but it's still a very cold smile.

I knew a guy who would do that, his eyes remained cold even when he was laughing. Once someone pointed it out, you couldn't unsee it.

You really couldn't have different guy. He's homelander even when he's not in character 😂
To be honest he is more homelander that comic homelander ever was
I actually thought homelander was real... but I'm still horrified of homelander and Anthony... If I was him irl I'd run away😨😨😰😰😱😱😱
