A role like Alan Shore could go so terribly but James Spader elevates it to another level. If someone else played Alan Shore, there is the potential for him to be uncouth, vulgar and honestly make a persons skin crawl. But James Spader plays him with such finesse and grace. Alan Shore is a Magnificent Bastard to the highest degree.
James Spader gets so much power out of that measured, calm, even voice. He's truly one of the greatest living actors. But let's not forget, he's given great roles and great dialog by great writers who deserve full recognition, too.
Yes he’s had great parts written for him. But very few actors in all of history history could do as well with the same script. It’s like putting an average person in a formula 1, they would black out trying to do 50% of what the professionals do.
@@noahbrown6970 yeah being from the place I didn't need an essay about it, I was asking a question based on what someone else said if you've a problem talk to them about it.
I really can't even imagine any actor who personifies confidence the way Spader does. Every role I've ever seen him in, he's so casual and intellectual in his delivery that you can't turn away.
Spader's delivery is astounding, that there was a huge nod to his Secretary character is a bonus. That Rebecca was similarly wonderful to Maggie, is just the icing.
The writing as well. Lots of redundant plot lines. The directing of the actors was poor.

From the Preppy mean-guy of his Brat-Pack days, to nerdy Daniel Jackson in the Stargate movie- to Alan Shore & Raymond Reddington.... There will never be another actor like James Spader.
James has been a huge favorite of mine for a long time. The ease he can use to transition from one character to a totally different character is rather stunning. I'm thinking his role as Dr. Daniel Jackson as the nerdy historian in Stargate, to this assured cocky Lawyer. and many others like Ultron. I just love to see him work.
Okay that's really mad, I loved SG1 as a kid/teenager, been watching these clips and also some stuff from the Blacklist and never once did I clock he was in Stargate... i'm usually good at recognising people i swear
First off, this was bloody good writing, word for word. No fluff, no filler, no vulgarities . (Explicitly implied anyhow) Word for word good writing ,.....then to have a symphony of harmonizing ,flowing astute words, sown together, then delivered by a master of timing, James Spader. This was just outstanding performance, both parts of the writing and the performance of the writing. Bravo , 👏👏👏👏
Here we can see Alan Shore starting to shine but still an uncompleted work. When you put Alan Shore opposite Denny Crane, that's when you get amazingly written scenes.
@@MegaMerlin5 Smith is more sinister where as Alan is more of a word smith. ( no pun intended ) Kind of like a black hat against a white hat / Spy Vs Spy kind of thing.
"I'm parched" not only does he master his voice, tone and pace. he also controls the silences inbetween. He could read the phone book and I'd listen, cover to cover.
Alan Shore may be one of the greatest characters ever to grace a TV show. He gets away with being a cheeky bastard because he's got so much heart deep down as we see a lot of in Boston Legal. He treads the line between cocky and confident but most of all is loving and loyal to those who deserve it. He isn't capable of betrayal because he only establishes meaningful relationships with those he intends to back until the end of time.
The last couple of minutes were almost straight out of “The Secretary”. And Rebecca De Mornay holding back without saying "Are you ready for me, Ralph." was amazing.
@@travisjohnson6676, Correct, but "Joel" used the name "Ralph" when he setup the meetup with Lana. When she comes over and gets ready for him she says "Are you ready for me, Ralph." Watch it again.
She says he won't last 2 weeks. He just kept his client out of jail. She did nothing useful, when he offers to let her take over, she lasts less than 10 seconds before he has to take over again. She says he doesn't understand authority, yet he meets with two people with authority and they do exactly what he wants. She calls him arrogant but she is the one insulting someone who outclassed her every time. As for being corrupt, where is her evidence? She gets angry at his reference to her disciplining him, but she made that threat. She didn't carry it though and didn't apologize for it. She's weakness and she's angry that he sees it.
If she-hulk only had this type of writing I'm pretty sure it would be a Crown jewel in the MCU; James spader acting as both alan shore in this show and Raymond reddington in the blacklist is pure perfection!🔥💯😁😉👍
Lol. You are crazy. That level of acting is hardly achieved. MCU is not a fan of character actor/actress. They replaced edward norton with mark rufallo.
This is based on an actual event. On March 8, 2004, Todd Bertuzzi grabbed the back of Steve Moore's jersey and punched him in the back of the head. As Moore fell unconscious to the ice, Bertuzzi followed him to the ice with his forearm on the back of Moore's head, driving it into the ice. This resulted in 3 fractured vertebrae and a concussion for Moore. Bertuzzi was suspended for 20 games and forfeited over half a million dollars in salary. Moore attempted to come back to the game, skating in practices and working out with the team. He continued to suffer chronic concussion symptoms, and he never played professional hockey again. I've loved hockey since I was a kid. I play hockey as a goalie. Sometimes there are fights, but the Bertuzzi/Moore incident (and this fictionalization of it) was premeditated battery. However, some good has come from it, even if it isn't a direct cause-effect relationship. Fighting in the NHL is way down, next to eliminated. It occasionally happens still, but not nearly as often as it used to. Of course, there are some mouthbreathers who lament this as the death of "old-fashioned, hardnosed hockey" or some sort of "softening" of the sport. Me? I'm glad that all professional sports are finally taking head trauma seriously. CTE kills.
They would have had to write and produce this within a week or two of the incident. "Comings and Goings" aired in middle April 2004. Sometimes episodes are written and finished just days before air, but that became less and less common after the 80s. Usually everything's in the can for the first half the series before premiere week, then the next set of 10 to 12 are done in r The fall.
@@STho205 I would call it remarkably serendipitous then. Either way, the changes made in the NHL have been industry-leading in regards to player safety, and, I would argue, has increased the popularity of the game.
@@body_by_depuy it is possible they wrote and produced at the last minute. West Wing did. However there are coincidences, with pending foreshadowing. China Syndrome came out just before Three Mile Island almost as if it was planned to reinforce the movie or anti nuclear power sentiment. Two Dennis the Menace comic strips debuted on the same day in the US and UK by different artists with different characters...but same name. Pro Hockey fighting had been escalating for years...seemed inevitable that a premeditated attack would happen...
absolutely LOVE rebecca's ability to portray the train of thought at 4:01. "what is his angle here? wait, that's the one about the-... ooooooh, ok yeah i see where this is going now"
James Spader is the best at playing the arrogant and condescending Pr!(&! Case in point - Pretty in Pink, Less Than Zero, Blacklist, among many others!
There a number of actors that have built successful careers off of playing strangely unique characters, but James Spader and Matthew McConaughey are surely the strangest of the bunch
@@jeronimo196 I rewatched Boston Legal a few years ago. Despite the very good writing and very good acting, there are many parts that have become very uncomfortable to watch. Both Alan and Denny are practically sexual predators, frequently harassing and even assaulting women. Of course, playing top lawyers at a high-end law firm, such behaviour can hardly be considered surprising, but it isn't the kind of thing we can just brush aside anymore. And the fact that we are more conscious of this now compared to then isn't diminishment: it's maturing.
@@nicholassmith7984 you find some parts uncomfortable to watch - I understand that. Nevertheless, those parts are both true to life as it was then and evoking strong emotions. So, the question is, would it be a better show if those parts were sanitized? I think not. Contrast with "The Boys" S2. Extremely edgy R-rated show, blood and gore everywhere. Stormfront is a super-powered surviving nazi, evil enough to kill entire black families - yet not evil enough to say "nigger". In a way, according to Amazon's guidelines of storytelling, I've just committed more racism in the youtube comment section, than Stormfront could ever do in their show.
He has an uncanny knack of making you listen as intensely as he speaks. You really don't want to miss a word.
Brilliant statement --- and spot-on correct.
Helped enormously by a lack of a laughter soundtrack and “mood” music.
pardon me, I'm parched...
One of my favorite parts of this sequence is how Rebecca De Mornay gradually starts to recognize his genius.

Not true, James Spader has it in every contract that no one writes his dialogue. He just shows up on set and ad libs everything.
He’s incredible.
I like how James Spader speaks. There's no elitist British accent yet his pronunciation and eloquence is so profound.
His eyes are more than half of his magic. It's so good! Watch him at 510-5.30 ish. It's so intimidating, but i can't look away! Spader is a phemon.

James Spader nails the ability to swap between goofy absent mindedness and nail biting seriousness. Truly a great actor.
Kinda just does that one character - but nobody can do "smug" like Spader. Always entertaining. (maybe he's a victim of typecasting?)
“It feels like a listening experience” I love the delicious self satisfaction.
No one can compare to James Spader, he is the undisputed champion of acting.
Except for Kevin Spacey, he has no match in acting!

OMG, heck yes!
Good acting but bullshit narrative.

It also helps that the writers make the other characters shut up immediately every time he interrupts them.
