- „There is no blame to go to Hollywood“, theatre legend Mark Rylance says, who is with Tom Hanks in the same film - „Bridge of spies“, co-written by the Cohen-brothers.
A heart-to-heart interview.

Mark seems like such a genuinely kind man in his interviews. While his star is bright and accolades resounding, he seems to never lose touch with where he came from and that you never really get to where you think you are going. Keeping the mystery of it alive is the gift.
How come there are so few interviews to show this sweet and unaffected man?
He deserved the Oscar just for showing how quiet dignity and talent speak louder than being tabloid fodder.
Well he is a good enough actor to convey the "unaffected" part and fool people and to that extent he must have some talent as an actor to fool people so regularly
what a feckin sweetheart
remarkable actor.
I was very disappointed by his interpretation of Richard II, which can be viewed on You tube where the Rylance King Richard plays the easy game of camping up the lines and playing up the elements which a modern audience might tend to find silly. I have not seen him acting in anything else and frankly do not much wish to. As for the poor salary which he claims stage actors earn, that may be so but it would be more convincing if he gave figures.
The comedy Rylance got out of Richard 2 is not 'easy' to do. I do not know much of his work, but his R2 struck me as very human. If this is a 'trick' of Rylance's, it's a damned good one.
Shakespeare becomes personable in his mouth. He never declaims. He let's us in, doesn't knock us out. So it seems to me.
@@barryschwarz i entirely disagree. I have twice seen people work comedy out of Richard II It is easy to do for the following reason. In the original play, which seems to include Shakspeare's wish to outshine Marlowe's Edward II, which he does in trumps by the way, the homossexuality of the King is discreetly implied but is in the charges levelled by Harry Hereford against the king's advisors nevertheles clear. Since Kenneth Williams and Noel Coward and Quinto Crisp, and Sebastian's friend in Bridehead Revisited and Oscar Wilde and so on, the camp figure has been a standard figure of fun and raiser of laughs in English comedy. Richard II which tentatively deals with the problems of kingship even VERY discreetly a questiioning of the role of monarchy itsself, there is the potential for a modern performance of camping it all up and making fun of the entire play. It is a facile solution to the problem of satsifying punters who are in London for a large part made up of tourists often not native speakers with a relatively low ability so far as the subtleties of a Sahksepeare history play are concerned. Making the King into a bit of a Frankie howard character plus pathos is easy, you just have to put on a n effeminite voice and stress certain lines, separate them a little from the rest so that focus is upon them and you can be sure that a modern audience, generally very challenged by the complexities of for example the political philosophy or metaphysics of the play, can understand and laugh. They are reassured that they "understand" Shakspeapeare.
Agree . Pantomime Dame probably more suited to his
' talents ' .
The most arrogant people of all are those who assume a deceptive aura of modesty and diffidence, they are so consumed with a sense of their own worth that they would consider it beneath their dignity to even state that they consider they are superior. They know it. this is how Mark Rylance strikes me.
He is a bit eccentric but does a lot for charities in the UK and abroad. He is Selfless not Selfish in that regard. I would never describe him as being full of his self worth... What has he done that makes you think this?
@@Badtastemamma I cannot forgive him for the amount of unwarranted praise heaped upon him for his perfomance of Richard II which distressed me because as I perceive it, he traduced one of my favourite plays. I love Shakespeare's Richard !! with heart and soul and his dumbing down of that play to get American toruist punters to chortle "let us tell sad stories of the death of kings" chrotle chrotle giggle laugh..For me his persiflage of that paly is as though he had mocked a good friend or family member. So far as what he has done to show he ahs a huge sense of self worth, he has not "done "anything, it is an impression heconveys, a very strong impression. I often observe in apparent modesty in people the greatest arrogance of all. The painter who says "oh its nothign, just a few daubs, haw haw" and behind that self deprecation is a massive self-conceit. This is the impression I gain from listening to Mark Rylance. I also find it more than irritating in a country where millions really are struggling and living in dire conditions of crime squallor and ill health, that he claims that actors are underpaid, without bothering to state how much actors are in fact paid. While we are on the subject, what are Mark Rylance's earnings? It is a pity he wasn't challenged on this. How can he claim that actors are underpaid without stating what they in fact earn? What would one think of a Union leader saying "my members are underpaid" but not revealing how much said Union members are in fact paid?
@@MrYorickJenkins I can vouch for actors not always earning lots especially in the early years of their careers. My daughter in law went to Liverpool Uni with The now very famous Clare Foy. studied Drama/Theatre. Clare made it a lot of the other students struggle and eventually even not working in the industry at all. A lot of actors do other jobs to keep a roof over their heads! I know them so this much is true! Actors very often seem to be full of themselves but inside they are often insecure. Even shy. My granddaughter is training to be an actor and she has a introspective personality. Like I said about Mark Rylance you either love him or hate him. Unfortunately for you he seems to be very favoured by the 'luvvies' and the movie world too. They must see something in him that's unique!
@@MrYorickJenkins I agree.
@@Badtastemamma All right but I notice you also do not give any figures about the earnings of actors
'Bridge of Spies' Brilliant movie not usually my kind of stuff but thoroughly enjoyed it, although I wish we could have seen more of Mark Rylance, he is mesmerising!!
Mark Rylance is forcing my body to produce goosebumps. He is the absolute height of ''Bridge of Spies'' movie, movie itself is not so remarkable but Mark's work here is an absolute masterpiece in acting. The film looses a lot in the second part when he is not present on the screen, but the moments and seconds he appears his immense talent completely turns a solid scene to a great one. Just watch his bodily minimalism in the plane scenes and at the bridge, he, as a master at his craft, needs just a little space to make wonders. Spielberg you are a moron if you do not let this master work with you again. He is like a muse for film directors, just as Daniel Day-Lewis is.
What a kind, intelligent man Mark Rylance is - and what a splendid actor!
Was anyone else anxiously waiting for Mark to fall off the balcony?
Good grief...my heart was all aflutter, especially when he laughed and threw his head back...
Felt same way. I'm scared of heights
;D)))
The first time I ever heard or seen Mark Rylance was in the series Wolf of Wolf Hall. Magnificent!! acting, I could not take my eyes off him he really made this series. I had never heard about him before. Then I saw him in Bridge of Spies and he still captivated me. So much calm, so much control. A man that that takes acting to a different level. Just one more comment. This man seems to be a lovely unassuming gentleman that deserves more recognition
What a wonderful man. Comes across as a great person in all his interviews.
No he does not. He is a ham and deliberately portrays himself as diffident. Don't be fooled. At heart, he is very pleased with himself
I remember very well watching him for many years at the globe theatre years ago when he was an actor and the artistic director there. His Shakespeare productions were absolutely spellbinding as were his performances. The actors always mingled with the audience in the intermission no matter how famous they were. He was always so friendly, down to earth, obliging and extremely funny indeed!
@@MrYorickJenkins How the fu*k do you know?
@@shababgeg he's probably being a crybaby because of rylance's political views
Mark Rylance is mesmerizing in Wolf Hall. Not sure if Olivier himself can equal him in subtleties.
Unique.
its amazing how his eyes and voice transport deep dark emotions (in here - or Intimacy or Inst. Benj.) - and in reality he is so lively and funny and practical in organizing - as for Shakespear plays at the Globe they cut down 5 hour performances to 3 hours - many of us watchers had to stand, but loved to since even tragedies had their funny spots - oh, and then so many were crying, eg at the Golden Ass when Mark was getting back his human shape and could not believe it.....and afterwarrds they only took one curtain always, that was modest (people would have applauded for hours...)
I have never heard that Mark is a bully or a showboat, or passive aggressive and horrid to work with and if any of that is true, then I'm saddened and my opinon of him is diminished. If it's not true, then it's a horrible thing to spread about. He seems so meek and informed. I imagined he would be a delight to work with.
All that stuff about him being difficult to work with are rumours. From what I've seen and read, he is perhaps the most down to earth, genuine and kind person ever!
I saw him in London just sitting on the steps outside the theatre he was performing
I immediately liked him after seeing how down to earth he was
seems like an incredibly sweet natured and unassuming man as well as an exceptionally captivating presence
Mr Cromwell:Actor should devoted the career of their soul,care nothing in wealthy (◐‿◑)
Who else recognises the BFG?
His voice!!
Wonder what it said on the risk assessment form about asking him to sit on the edge of the balcony?
Surfing TH-cam this caught my eye as very familiar. I suddenly realized it was the Royal Circle of Duke of York and Rylance is sitting on the rail in front of the seat I would eventually watch Sir Ian portray Lear from in 2018! What fun! Hope to be able to see him recreate Johnny Byron next year!
MARK RYLANCE .I DO LOVE YOU IN 'BFG' OMG, THEY COULN'T CHOOSE BETER ACTOR. YOU PLAY IT NEAUTYFULLY, PERFECTY, YOU WERE BORN TO PLAY IT. I GIVE YOU 2 OSCARS ,A GOLDEN GLOBE AND A KISS TO BE GRATEFUL TO A GREAT ACTOR LIKE YOU OK. YOU HAVE TO BE THE BEST ACTOR IN LONDON. LOVE AND BLESINGS MR, SIR MARK RYLANCE ... GOD BESS YOU AND LONG LIVE THE QUEEN. THE REAL ONE... 😘
Hell, 80-90% of the WORLD'S population is poor!
More like 99.9 %, if you include India & Africa (and the USA nowadays...)
We re in good company.
03:14
And 80-90% of working musicians who entertain you at your local pubs and bars are also poor. It comes w the territory of art unfortunately though it fuels creativity
Mark Rylance ,more like Mark Gets-paid-a-pittance !
Call me Mark!
Mark Rylance, a very poor actor.
Irritating , sanctimonious virtue signaller ! Dressing up and pretending to be
someone else ( ie .acting ) should only be taken seriously by children .
My 9 year old daughter and friends do it all the time.
Main difference is they don't delude themselves into thinking that their opinions
on other more important matters are more worthy of notice because they
dress up.
I'm not getting it..
Agree.
