    I'm addicted to Bloodline. Ben's character, Danny, is so multi layered. I can't help but like the character, even though he is on ' a mission' to wreak havoc on his family, and even out old scores. He plays the part of a man damaged by his childhood perfectly.

    He's the Aussie christoph waltz. PLucked from the fringes and bloody good at making the audience feel uncomfortable in a compelling way.

    He is CHILLING in Bloodline. OMG, this guy is SO good! I captured the scapegoated kid, turned narcissist, PERFECTLY> He even nailed the smirk.

    Bloodline was my first time seeing Ben; amazing actor in an amazing series! Loved the depth and intensity - can't wait for series 3

    I love Ben in Mississippi Grind. I look forward to checking out Bloodline on Netflix. Thanks for your great interviews as always Anne.

      Yeah *****, I've watched Bloodline since. He is excellent in it and really stole the show indeed.

  • @thetrojan4life
    @thetrojan4life 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    He really has a lot of appeal in his tense and committed role as Danny Rayburn. Great show, addictive stuff.

  • @SimpleLife1971
    @SimpleLife1971 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Bloodline is the first time I've seen Ben act and his portrayal of Danny Rayburn is first rate! The downside to watching Bloodline is waiting for new episodes!

    Utterly brilliant actor with no affectations and infinite range. Mesmerizing, yet understated. He’s the best.

    I saw Animal Kingdom once when it first came out and was blown away. I was also very impressed with Ben's role in Lost River, he terrified me.

    The "Big Steal" Ben's first lead role. Very fun movie. Plus Ben plays a good guy which he was cast as in a lot of his earlier work. I'm so happy to see him finally shaking things up in the US. He has always been such a great actor. The best is yet to come!

    @TheCraigy111 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The first thing I saw him in was Mississippi River, I thought he was amazing in it, then Star Wars and Churchill where he was amazing as well, so I'll be watching everything else he's been in when I have the time. The guy is a brilliant actor.

    Blimey! Hearing Danny talk with an Astreyn accent. I can't help thinking he's faking it. "Turn down the egg nishna. It's freezin' in here!"

    I grew up in the 80s and first saw him in The Year My Voice Broke, an Australian film with Noah Taylor who is also a fantastic actor. Do yourself a favor and watch it. It is still my favorite film and is even free on TH-cam right now.

  • @floraline7153
    @floraline7153 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    He's killing me. Why do I find him so impressive? Here's what's odd. I was sitting in the theatre watching Rogue One. I have no idea he's in it as I never followed him, ever, before now. Yet, when his Director first comes on screen I said, "Ahhh. There he is." I mean, I had seen him in ONE film over twenty years before, "Cosi", but that was only because I was a Toni Collette fan after seeing her in "Muriel's Wedding". Back to Ben---and I find he's in "Bloodline" on Netflix. I watched it three times in a row, and then everything else on Netflix in which he appeared. He's the best actor going today.

    There has never been such a multi layered character that you follow on a journey that you can’t help but feel for good bad or indifferent he plays the worst acts in such a way you can’t help but to understand where’s hes coming from

  • @friscokid66
    @friscokid66 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Personally for me, he was the most memorable character in "The King". Natural dark menace and charm...

  • @ytuser_3122
    @ytuser_3122 ปีที่แล้ว

    I watched this back in 2017 after seeing and liking him in Rogue One, nice to see him in more stuff like the MCU. I also remembered him in The Dark Knight Rises as John Daggett.

  • @VHMV1977
    @VHMV1977 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just started watching Bloodline just by name, it's cut out for the part, I saw it on "Mississippi grind", "The Land of Steady Habits" & "Kill them softly" on all of them, perfect. It's kind of John Cazale. They are those roles of problematic types, victims of circumstances, addicts. He is my new favorite actor.
