hi! im writing an article on harvey, can you give more specifics, or any other resembland detail, it would mean a lot! greetings from serbia!
The stealth deadpan delivery of "I think...the chief thing they want to know is if they can get ahead of me" makes me laugh out loud every time. Good shit there from Keitel.
This was a refreshingly great interview with such a seasoned actor. I think his career was (for the first 20 years) 90% hard work 5% luck, and 5% timing. Really intelligent actor.
Love him. Amazing actor and lovely, fascinating person. Also love how he subtly pointed out the girl who'd just sat and ignorantly fiddled with her phone for most of the interview lol.
Two words come to my mind, watching one of my FAVORITE actors in Harvey Keitel. GENUINE, and NON-PRETENCIOUS. This guy has given me some of the greatest cinematic experiences (just as a viewer) of my life. I went to see a film of his at an art house cinema in Dallas called "Three Seasons". Here I was a young guy age 26, no social skills and never experienced love. And I was deeply deeply moved by the James Hager character. This guy sitting in the plastic molded chair, waiting on the SMALL SMALL chance he's going to see his daughter. I'm here to tell you I don't cry easy. I came REALLY close to crying watching that.
Hey man... awesome interview. You asked wonderful questions. I'm regards to Keital, yeah he's the best. Always impressed with his acting. Heard many stories over the years: he's humble, generous, polite...I think he helps fund people starting out in movies ..like reservoir, and I think he paid for Tim Roth's wedding.
Yes! He bled the soul out of me when I watched Bad Lt. what a portrait of suffering man he was perfect! Perfect! I couldn’t believe it! Like everybody else, I’d watched his work for years, but that particular film really got me, and I think he was the one actor who could pull off representing the life of an addict with local power, and the resultant drama…in NYC, no less. I won’t go on, but l could easily rave about his beautifully crafted, understated performances in some of the greatest pictures in cinema history! Thank you very much.
Sadly I never gave this man much thought - but now that I do., he's a seriously great actor! While he's hardly a No-Body, I think he doesn't get due credit where its earned. Or perhaps not enough credit for his work.
Hey, I know you were under the gun for this interview, you might have been a bit nervous, but your questions were great. You asked "nuts and bolts" questions, which are favorites. I almost didn't click on this interview because I still haven't seen "Youth", but I'm really happy I did. I loved how he obviously was trying to put you at ease and answer all your questions. You got good stuff out of him. The very last story, about "The Duelists". And I've heard him talk about preparing for "Taxi Driver", but I don't think I've ever heard him talk about the "love her" part. Thanks for putting this up for us to watch!
Every film that I've seen Harvey in, he steals the scene. For instance for those of you who may have missed the early 90s film Mortal Thoughts with Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Keitel surpasses them both. Moore and Willis were "bankable stars" at the time, but it's Harvey Keitel that kills it in every scene.
That last comment about The Duellists was cool but I was expecting him to talk about his performance on Eyes Wide Shut with Stanley Kubrick and why he was removed
Keitel seems to be a difficult actor to work with. Francis Coppola substituted him in "Apocalypse Now" with Martin Sheen. Stanley Kubrick substituted him in "Eyes Wide Shut" with Sydney Pollack. Quentin Tarantino hasn't worked with him since the mid-90s and there are rumors that they had a falling out. And you have to wonder why Scorsese hasn't worked with him ever sine "The Last Temptation of Christ" in 1988 (even though he was cast in the upcoming "The Irishman").
He's got a cameo in "Inglorious Basterds". Actually, it's an audio "cameo" if I remember correctly. I believe that's who is on the other end of the phone when Brad Pitt or Christoph Waltz are making the arrangements for Waltz's "surrender".
i just hope he gets a big part in the irishman thats all that matters to me and its a pitty hes not as recognizable as de niro and pacino have, should've won at least 3 Oscars already or been nominated at least 5x sa me with mickey rourke!

That is so cool!!!!!!
@ sorry man, just saw this. hope that article worked out.
a wise and genuine human being and one of my favorite actors.
what a class act! 80 years old and still killing it, and seems very humble. loved him in bad lieutenant, clockers, and pulp fiction
Harvey comes across so humble and down to earth (he is a Taurus after all -- like me :-) -- but seriously, such an AMAZING actor!
this is the best actor of all time IMO... better than Pacino, and Deniro. very underrated
Your smoked out... he’s good but not better.. and Brando is better than all theee of them combined..
Happy 80th Birthday Harvey Keitel
One of the only things I learned from this interview was that the interviewer was a nervous fan of Keitel. There's a lesson to be learned in that.
The stealth deadpan delivery of "I think...the chief thing they want to know is if they can get ahead of me" makes me laugh out loud every time. Good shit there from Keitel.
Harvey Kietel is the greats actor of all time ‼️
Will_The_American_Man !!!!!!! Not quite. But he's not far away pal.
This was a refreshingly great interview with such a seasoned actor. I think his career was (for the first 20 years) 90% hard work 5% luck, and 5% timing. Really intelligent actor.
He was so Damn good in Bad Lieutenent. One of his greatest performances ever!
Love him. Amazing actor and lovely, fascinating person.
Also love how he subtly pointed out the girl who'd just sat and ignorantly fiddled with her phone for most of the interview lol.
Harvey Keitel is a Bad Ass,.lmao I love how he puts his shades on in the beginning

He seems a nice guy
Enjoyed Youth immensely. Good interview. The Bad Lieutenant!
I love this guy. His best movies are those no one ever heard of.

An amazing actor with uncommon humility and grace.
Wearing those shade type glasses makes him more cooler. 😀 kuddos to you mister Keitel.
Still reflecting on Youth. I love everything about Harvey Keitel.
Harvey seems like such a humble and down to earth guy, would love to have a conversation with him over lunch.
Sadly I never gave this man much thought - but now that I do., he's a seriously great actor! While he's hardly a No-Body, I think he doesn't get due credit where its earned. Or perhaps not enough credit for his work.
Would have loved to have seen him in Apocalypse Now even though Martin Sheen killed it I think Keitel would have been another level
It is interesting to think of him in that role, I forgot about that.
Looking forward to his role in The Irishman
He was great in The Irishman! Small part, but great!
most underrated actor

Harvey Keitel acting legend

All the way through this interview of one cinemas great characters there is a girl in the top right corner playing with her iphone :)
She annoyed the hell out of me, so disrespectful.
The pimp is a hero
GD THE WOLF 🐺
i just hope he gets a big part in the irishman thats all that matters to me and its a pitty hes not as recognizable as de niro and pacino have, should've won at least 3 Oscars already or been nominated at least 5x sa me with mickey rourke!
Hail the Wolf
Why were you fired from apocalypse now?
Hij was het niet eens met invullen van zijn rol.
WTF are these questions. I can work for film press now too?
That was awkward, could tell the interviewer was nervous
Mr. White
I want to slap the phone out of her hand.
You're not on your own there!
Such ignorance, honestly. ¬¬
Probably Harvey`s assistant,not part of crew.
Sort your sound out. Shouldn't be hearing the interviewer better than the subject.
wow cell phone
Terrible Interviewer....Harvey seemed like he wanted to ask himself questions...lol
What a massively overrated guy.
Don't you mean underrated lol?
+David Turley oh! Yes I actually did mean " underrated " lol. Well spotted.
+Sinjin Smyth those guys are too young to be considered classic actors mate lol
How is he overrated?
