- Emmy Award-Winning actor, writer, producer, director and NYFA alum Bill Hader joined NYFA for a Q&A with Director of Industry Lecture Series, Tova Laiter. Check out what the “Barry” star shared with students at our Los Angeles campus, and tune in to the 71st Emmy Awards to see if he’ll pick up more wins following his nominations for Outstanding Directing, Outstanding Writing and Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
Everyone in view at 27:02 looks like they're in love with him and i cant blame them
literally who isn't in love with him?
Relatable
I totally liked this ‘mentor’ side of Bill. Thanks for posting this video.
I literally almost started crying at 55:46 when he said "sorry" under his breath because I do that literally all the time when I feel insecure or uncomfortable because of my anxiety. Bill Hader is literally my idol and it warmed my heart to see him do the same insecure things that I do. Thank you, Bill. ❤
I could listen to him for hours, he should be a university lecturer
Lavender Arj ...he should just act.
Being a lecturer ; is an much needed person but it would be a waste on someone like Mr. Hader's talent .
He would love that actually.
Uhhhhhh
Same. I've been listening podcasts and interviews for three days already.
Yes to Bill Hader . Just . yes.
He started from the bottom and arrived to the top, always with a smile on his face, without showing any grudge, with a lot of humility, vulnerability and positivity. He is a role model for me and for anybody who wants to lead a "deep" life. Keep going, Bill, wish you plenty of luck
TRUE!!!
That was so fantastic! Somehow I found my way fully into a Bill Hader YT video-lecture/interview binge-watching marathon today - I’ve been suffering with constant severe nerve pain 24 hours a day since a re-injury after surgery, completely unable to sleep for several days (apologies - probably *too much information!)* - but this genuinely lovely bloke has helped me keep a tentative grasp on my sanity, & my mind occupied, at least for a while. *Must find more!*
Just find podcast with Bill Hader in it. There are plenty out there, but my recommendation for full laughing mode on: Bill Burr, Conan Needs a Friend, old interview in Howard Stern (alongside Seth Meyers and Fred Armisen when they promote Doc Now!)
*longtime fans of Bill since SNL days
@@maribahagia do you have any link? I'm on that marathon NOW and I've set up a playlist, for anybody who wants to join
Haha that’s cool, I’m watching Bill Hader videos all day too!💞
Ok o
Hope you are doing well!
It's great how seriously he's taking these questions from students very often his interviews get silly, and when he interviews with other comic writers and actors they riff off of each other. But the seriousness and respect for the craft is awesome to see.
I love a man that can say "I don't know"
Hi all! This is a great video and I can't believe it took me this long to discover it. I was with Bill at Princeton in '96, oh so long ago! It was a blast and like he said we learned a lot about the film making process (filming on Arriflex 16mm and editing on big ole Steenbecks). The staff was awesome and for me it was wonderful to finally be around people who spoke my language, film geek. Bill was hilarious even back then. His imitations were more of the instructors and fellow students which had us all rolling. We did shoot 4 films that summer (a mise-en-scene, an editing film, a synch sound film and our final short film). I have put up my editing film from that time if anyone wants to get a kick out of it. It's a good representation of what we had learned up to that point (tell a story in 15 to 20 cuts, with no sound). I hope it's ok to link it here, if not I understand. Besides Bill playing the main Bondian villain, his henchman was played by fellow student Duke Johnson, who went on to co-direct the Academy Award nominated film Anomalisa! Enjoy and hooray for the NYFA!

this is so cool dude! thank you for sharing :)
@@hezzipoint2005 In the immortal words of Joe Pesci as he accepted his Oscar, "It was my pleasure. Thanks." :) I'm working on a screenplay about the whole experience so wish me luck!
@@gooberal99 as a young person who is extremely interested in diving into anything regarding acting or film-making, I would love to take a look at your screenplay when it's finished...like seriously, that's so rad. Good luck !!!
@@hezzipoint2005 Thanks a bunch! You're rad! I advise that you learn all that you can and get out there and create. Make mistakes and learn but most importantly have fun! NYFA is a good place to learn the basics and meet other people who will speak the language of film. I'm much older now but I'll never give up on my dreams!
@@gooberal99 Thank you so much for this comment YAY ! Good luck with your job :-)
Letting the audience imagine the rest of a skillfully implied backstory can be more powerful than making it explicit in the same way that the scary thing in a movie can be more frightening when details about it are unknown. The viewer's imagination fills in the blanks and does so with stuff that is likely to be more emotionally significant to them than you would come up with.
Success is always a 'traffic jam'. Great insight.
Thank you for posting this, this was great and very enlightening. Very good questions, and Bill is amazing.
What a great teacher Bill Hader is. I hope he inspires all these students to create from deep authenticity.
Bill is a reptilian shape-shifter & I love it.
He goes into his impersonating mode with his face & you know who he’s portraying without himself saying a word.
I worked with him in “It 2” & asked him to impersonate myself. It freaked me out extremely. From then on, when he spoke with me, he was portraying me. I had him do my voicemail answering in Jack Nicholson mode. Previous to that, I had Jim Brewer doing Harland Williams. P.S. most of the weed in “Half-Baked” was real.
you know that feeling when you see someone and you just KNOW you would get along with them really well? yeah that's bill for sure
Cuz he is so sweet!!!
I'm in love with Hader
love an interview that starts with a hype montage. I was so thrilled by the time hader rocked up
Cool that they got him as a speaker
This is better than any Masterclass session could ever be
This is sooo useful😍thanks to Bill for his great advising and his insight 💛
He is Rad
Hader's GENUINE KINDNESS and GENEROSITY towards the audience members' questions is so intensely positive. He answers their questions (which I've noticed many actors do not even attempt) with succinct and eloquent specifics which help illustrate the topic(s) he seeks to illustrate.
In writing this, I feel like some people are either unaware of the importance of EMOTION to ART (be it writing or directing or acting), the importance of STORY...how it FEELS when you're COLLABORATING and communicating...or they value this so intensely they are LOATHE TO SHARE this knowledge.
Hader is so intuitive and humble and kind...giving props to other people who CONTRIBUTE invaluable nuances to each project.
I've sent this video to all my FAVOURITE CREATIVE loved ones...as this is...akin to John Cleese's TINY (but brilliant and valuable) book on CREATIVITY....It is a masterclass on such priceless knowledge.
Hader is such an authentic and genuinely human being....and even more inherently likeable and LOVABLE because of his vulnerability and honesty.
Brilliant host too.
why did i burst into tears at the beginning of this video.
Thank you for sharing this.
Wishing the best for every student! Looking forward to seeing some of their work one day.
Hader is so talented. I always love listening to him talk about the process on every level. Love Bill s comedy style👍👍💖🌟🌟
iconic
I want to meet him so bad!
It’s funny, out of all the actors in the world, I think Bill would be one of the better people to get advice from about the world of acting, he’s so honestly humble and normal (besides his obvious talent), there isn’t an ounce of arrogance, he still thinks like a fan and a normal person. Hell, he’s actually more humble, normal and nice than the average person let alone Hollywood actors. Besides that, he’s absolutely hilarious and a fantastic actor, writer and director
If Buckwheat can be shot on live television then Bill Hader can have a heart attack on SNL.
41:46 and 44:53 just made me cry and I definitely needed to hear that
1:04:10 poor guy he can't even applaud xD
Lorenzo guys 😂I like him already .
Can I get people to sign a petition so I could ask this man to marry me?
Lorenzo literally slated for Bill Hader and I love that 24:56
What's with everyone wearing the green dot?
The blonde guy at 54 mins or so has some decent content out now.
I love this man ❤ I think he and I should get married
How can i get scholar in NYFA
well that went by quickly
Is Hader the funniest person that's ever been on SNL?
quickest hour ive watched on youtube...
Is it me or did a lot of people just ask the question? Or asked questions he had already answered ...
Love Bill Hader. Does it bother anyone else that the front row in front of Bill is almost all white blond girls? Chance or not?
공부도 제일 못한 왕따였는데 심리사 지망생으로 연구원 되겠다고 박사수료 후 백조가 되었습니다. 무료 온라인 교육기관에 가 상식을 지식으로 착각하고 취업을 위해 공백을 메꾼다고 수료증을 여러개 모았습니다. 그러다 서울패션위크 기간에 강남에 있는 백화점에 가게 되었고 model을 수료하고 꽃을 배웠습니다. 영화 도 보았죠. 영화 수업이 movie를 안주고 film을 주어 기억 속 뉴욕영화학교를 영어로 찾아보았습니다. 개 작위가 모델인 것도 압니다.
Yesšššš
39:14 Yes, but, seeing that girlfriend formed the paradigm that predicted all of my future relationships. Blonde pixie pocket rocket with a chip on her shoulder. One hot mess to go, with extra sauce...
As usual the commentator ruins it. Shut up and let Hader do his thing
He put right to sleep, lol
The reminiscent fold consequently trap because eggplant maternally drum despite a kaput channel. voracious, pastoral dinghy
He must be so tired of telling the Barry origin story. I've heard it about 20 times myself. This would definitely be the worst part of being famous. And all the cameras in your face and strangers wanting stuff from you. LOL I guess I'm happy being anonymous.
And I really don't understand why the show is considered a comedy. Except that "they" decided that half hour shows are comedies and hour-long shows are dramas. Isn't that ridiculous? I'm baffled when people say the show is hilarious. Really? Are we watching the same show? There are moments of humor, but it's not a comedy.
wendy darling Yeah, I’ve heard him say a lot of this stuff so many times. I guessed they just get used to it when they enter press mode. I agree it’s not a comedy exactly but it’s also not exactly a drama, even though it’s probably more dramatic than comedic. For example, Breaking Bad had tons of great comedy, but the show was very grounded and was a drama at heart. Barry isn’t totally unrealistic, but it has a strong sense of absurdity which is latent in most scenes and is what makes it work differently from a typical crime drama. Don’t want to spoil it, but the end of the episode in season 2 when he’s with the cop and says “...WHAT!?" is kind of the shining example of that.
It's comedic absurdity interpreted as a serious high-stakes drama. Maybe it's not really fair to pin it into any one genre. I do think the show is often hilarious, but in a way I'm not used to and sometimes in a way I'm not sure how to react to. I think it's kind of more existentially funny than ha-ha funny (though I've definitely laughed a bunch). Also I hope no one working on the show reads this comment thread because they'll probably think we're both idiots who have no clue what we're talking about. Though like Bill said, they probably just ignore stuff like this.
I just made a similar comment; these interviewers need to do some fucking research, watch his other interviews - just a few will answer your question. Ask something interesting and/or original, christ.
I honestly dont think so. Barry is his passion its his "baby" if youre really passionate about something you'll never get tired of telling the story.
You don’t really get tired of talking about something you crated,
Giving Bill Hader the giggles is an item on my bucket list.
Sneez in front of him.
@@weasley2o13 that's oddly specific...
@@slocke1983hmm...I meant that making him laugh is that easy. It was a joke but, forget it...
Fill- a 3 minute elevator ride , he will hire you , I would bet.
"Sidney Applebaum" should do it!
I'm watching hours long videos of Bill Hader talking about the work and the creative process like I'm someone from the industry too but i'm not. I'm a chemical engineer graduate ffs. What am I doing with my life?
I'm a biomed graduate and I'm doing the same
@@gigin6534 girls in stem girls into bill hader ✌️
Honestly girl, same.😂
I love this comment, same as I loved this like...lecture right? And I'm in high school and have NO knowledge of the process that is moviemaking, acting, ANYTHING. NONE. But ain't it nice that we get to learn some from him :>
I’ve found this last year watching videos of bill and a film critic named Chris Stuntman talk about making movies inspiring and hopeful. I think what is, is just hearing people talk about things they genuinely love for the sake of the art and not the fame. Their need and joy in creating encourages me, not to succeed per se, but to love something outside people. There is so much negativity. Trying to appreciate life people will say like “watch a sunrise,” “play with a bunny,” and it just seems so trite (although they are not and are very awesome), but I think just surrounding yourself (even via TH-cam) with people with human struggles who are creating out of joy and not desperation or pain is refreshing. I don’t want to be inspired by the triumph of people who overcome all the odds to make it. I just want hear from someone that enjoys their work. Lol. Does that make sense? Something between shallow and deep that’s not superficial or a total bummer.
56:25 he starts talking about IT!! so hyped! Bill was the perfect casting for Richie!
"Hi gang" Hes so cute kksksks
Thank you Bill for saying that people are smart. Trust the audience to 'get it'. They will.
Bill is so precious, I love him so freaking much
“SWEET! i dont have to think. dope.” 😭
I could listen to Bill speak all day. I would love to meet him.
What an insightful discussion! Love the questions, love the answers, and I also have to point out that I love the couple clapping in tandem at the end (1:04:08).
Its great getting to see Bill having the chance to talk more about his creative process ......
The first time i saw The Skeleton Twins he really blew me away...This man is a real one off.
Massive respect for him
It Chapter 2 is going to be amzing
Can’t believe they got THE Lorenzo at this!!
Lorenzo, I doubt you’re reading but if you are thanks for asking the question, it really gave some more insight to how the show was made
That's why he's THE Lorenzo...
No ! - Lorenzo ! He owes me 8$ cash! Man ,which way did he go ?
all the acting students saying their full names like he's gonna cast or even remember them lmfao
He‘s such a great man!😊💙🌈🏳️🌈
And to me he is an actor and not an comedian. He can play everything!❤️
he's generous. he gives long detailed answers to even the dumb obvious questions
Protect this man at all cost.
I hope he knows how much he means to a lot of people💛❤️
A wonderful session. One of many things I respect about Bill Hader is that he doesn't talk in buzzwords, catchphrases, or clichés. His language is genuine and meaningful. Even if he has said some of these things many times, in different interviews, he means them. He has thought and lived them through.
GIVEN your words, might i suggest to you two different media which I think you'd thoroughly enjoy:
(1) John Cleese's tiny BUT INCREDIBLY well thought out and DISTILLED ideas about CREATIVITY entitled "Creativity: a short and Cheerful Guide"
(2) ALL the ANDREW HUBERMAN lab podcasts on the topic of CREATIVITY.
There are a few podcasts on these topics, including one with Rick Rubin and each is bolstered by actionable protocols which can help anyone learn the scientifically proven behaviours which can facilitate incressings one's creativity.
The science behind such topics is fascinating and actionable protocols are a tangible and impactful TOOLS which ~ when practised daily ~ have a measurable and significant IMPACT upon your life.
how do those kids don't know collateral damage? Love Bill!
Everything he says about jokes at 40:00 is EXACTLY the kind of mistakes that the MCU makes with their ill-timed humour and as he says, those kinds of mistakes suck all of the air out of the scene.
I love BILL HADER he was the best pick to play adult Richie finn wolfhard was soooooo right!!
I wonder if it was Bill's idea to call Scottsdale the most miserable place on earth on that episode of South Park.
Love him in Barry, but really also love him in Skeleton Twins.
Wow thank you Mr Hader, I am more likely to follow my dream more. x
I think if anyone brings anything from all the great advice is.Fail but continue . As bad as it sounds. Failure is the catalyst for every that becomes greatness. Mr Hershey of the candy fame. Tried and failed 13 times. Before he founded Hershey's. Everything we have now came about through. Trying failing reviewing what went wrong and adapting from what was learned. No Tommy get off the roof. You know I did not mean you. There is no spray or Butterscotch candy that will make you fly. Wait!!! Are you sure your set on doing this? Ok hang on lemme start the video recorder on my phone.
LMAO I’m not sure how this comment took a turn and what happened, but I love it. And yes, failure is the catalyst for greatness.
@@Kaleidalee Lol
It took me a bit to see Where that tangent came from. But in the interview. He speaks on constantly dealing with failure even with his success. I know so many people that give up after a minor glitch when they attempt to do something new. You cant do that. Edison's light bulb went through a thousand different types of filament. Yes he failed a thousand times but he looked at it like We now know a thousand types of metal we cant use as a bulb filament.If he had given up. How many thought I'm sure Tesla would of solved it on his own.But how many more years would we have gone on using candles for lighting. Our industry would be years behind due to the work day ending at sunset. But though I think Edison stole more from his employees than he invented himself He still kept at it learning from every mistake.
i would die for him......
I might go to New York film academy for acting and what’s amazing is that Bill is one of my idols and finding out he attended Nyfa makes me happy even more
I love that quote about luck and how it takes persistance. People always view luck as something that happens 100% out of the blue and something that you absolutely can't control, and some people get jealous of others because of that. And yeah, by definition luck is something that you can't predict but if don't put yourself out there again and again, you have less chance of something like that to happen to you.
I've watched a lot of interviews about Bill and that's really what struck me about his life. He got noticed by Megan Mullally because he took improv class to get out of his comfort zone even though it wasn't a thing he was interested in. He talks a lot about hanging out in writers room to learn the process of writing for TV (with south park) or movies (with Pixar) even before getting hired to do so. And just hanging out in Pixar's writers room got him a job in Inside Out.
I'm not at all into the business, but it's something that you can apply to your everyday life even though you have nothing to do with cinema. If you ever get stuck and want to succeed, you have to put yourself out there and not be afraid of failure because it IS going to happen, and it happens even to the most talented and successful people. You just have to accept it, try to learn from it and move on.
I love him so much. I love his funny and silly side but i appriciate this smart and serious bill so much it makes me feel so inspired
I'm in design, not film or acting, but Bill's points about being "instinctual " with your craft and believing in *persistence + talent = luck* is so relatable to creative professionals as well who face insecurities, uncertainties, and the constant struggle between standing for your own ideas vs. collaborating with others in our careers.
50:30 Oh my god please don't call it 'content'
I would have taken Bill Hardee’s iPod in middle school. Maybe even before a week.
Who's Bill Hardee?
הגר גדליוביץ' I would have taken a typo’s iPod in middle school.
Me too - But he’s my age and we had Walkmans then ;)
I can listen to this guy for hours
Quentin should just hand over his theatre for a couple of months to Bill....
Thanks so much for uploading this!
I really wish someone had asked Bill what Adam Driver thinks of Barry.
The audience is...weird. Am I the only one that thinks the audence is weird?
Remarkable speech. have learnt alot.
I think the ppl asking the questions are more interesting than their questions …
I think your a natural storyteller, actor, director and, film maker. There are people that are obviously supposed to be writers, comedians, athletes, for instance Buster Posey was born to play baseball; You are the same , you found your natural talent. It’s awesome to see.You’re so humble, and it comes across in your work. You’re a great example and teacher. Thank you so much.
this woman is not a good interviewer :)
She's very attractive though and i love the accent.
The woman is so unbelievably boring I couldn't watch it.
@ 20:00 is so good
What a fascinating individual!
This is a 1000 times better than any interview.
The acting teachers must be like “fucking Bill Hader, we spend all this time teaching acting and he tells them to not think”
Oh how I needed that!!
huge fan of lorenzo hudson
Amazing human
#BillHader is an "NYFA alum"? That's news to me. :(
#Barry #HBOBarry #HBO_Barry
i would disagree about the exposition in stripes. i enjoyed the extra look into his life .felt it was necessary... for them to just wake up one day and have a two minute scene and then go enlist would have been kind of silly. would have cut the legs out from under the WHOLE story...
I want to learn about Filmmaking
