      35.45 - "What's been one of your toughest time as an actor?" - I'd say Franco's toughest was trying to answer that above question whilst trying to act as if he did no wrong.

    I ran into William Defoe at my local laundromat. It was just the two of us. I starred at him and asked the obvious: "Aren't you...?" He said yes. I apologized for disturbing him. He said, 'We're in a laundromat.' I loved the fact that their was no artifice no ego. We had a wonderful conversation. I ran into him again and his wife was with him. He introduced her to me. If I had my wits about me I would have asked him and his wife if they had time for a coffee. He was gracious and totally genuine. By the way, the laundromat is right down the street from my small apartment in Paris.

      a great story and just that one line "we're in a laundromat..." says so much about him and says alot about the difference between an actor, an artist and craftsman and a celebrity who can't be bothered by the serfs and common folk. An artist is one of the common folk, which is also how he hones his craft. Great story.

      I wish I could remember it, but I was like 2 at the time. Defoe and his family stayed at a lodge that my parents managed for a family gathering or reunion or something. When they checked in, they interrupted my dad and uncle watching Platoon. They were flabbergasted because they didn't initially recognize the name when they reserved their place at the lodge. I have a photo of him holding me. My parents talk about how much of a gracious person he is.

      Let's face it there are many great actors and actresses out there that don't get anyway near an Oscar. It really doesn't matter it's what the general public think that matters.
      Same with critics. So called American critics didn't actor favourable to 'Dead Man's Shoes', one of my favourite all time films. But on rotten tomatoes 50,000 members of the general public gave it a rating of 91%.

      If TH-cam actually starts putting ads on non-monetized videos by creators who never asked for them, that just goes to show how greedy this corporation can be. This thought is disgusting. TH-cam is essentially making free money off small channels and not paying them a single penny. Yes, these are small channels, but since there's so many of them, TH-cam will still make a huge profit off of this new policy. I don't care if TH-cam hates us now, it must be said by someone. I urge to our subscribers that we spread the message to all creators, and urge TH-cam to immediately repeal this new policy.

      In my opinion tom hanks .he just becomes the character whenever he has a role.ive heard great things about him as a person.i know people have ups and downs.everyone in hollywood is put on a pedastal.its cool to see them just themselves as not in the spotlight it shows their humbleness.would like to see alot more of these in the future

    if only Heath Ledger were still alive it would be so nice to watch and hear him in a table with these incredible actors especially with Gary Oldman who he played with in The Dark Knight. both had experienced portraying dark characters like The Joker and Norman Stansfield. that would be such a great honor to hear them especially Heath on how he prepaired and the whats and ifs of portraying each roles as an actor on his own opinion.💁🏻‍♀️🥺

    When you are sitting at a table with a number of performing powerhouses, I think most young actors would freeze up.

    John Boyega, I am very pleased to see the opposite. He embraced the opportunity to speak and to listen with his peers.
    He was very open, and the others around him listened to what he had to say and responded.
    I am very impressed for such a young person and actor in that sort of company.

I wish Gary would have mentioned something about Sid and Nancy. And I’m surprised Hanks didn’t mention a few of his iconic roles. Great convo but needed to be longer in order to get everyone’s opinions better.
