    I don’t know... but since watching The Outsider, this actor has been getting better looking every episode. I like the way he talks.

      Anna K Same! I knew the show was going to be a bit of a slow burn, but I kept watching for him. He had me intrigued from the get-go.

    Ben Mendelssohn is an absolute Australian legend... he is an incredible actor.

    This guy is showing up everywhere. 2 years ago I would not be able to say a single movie he was is but now he’s been in Darkest Hour, Ready Player One, Rogue One, and is rumored to be in Captain Marvel. He’s a great actor and I can’t wait to see more of him!

    One of Australia's finest tv, stage and film actors. 👏🏽 Well deserving of his success later in his career.

    This guy can't get enough work if you ask me. There's never enough Mendelsohn or Goldblum.

    • @Jennyfisch
      @Jennyfisch 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Weird to put those two in the same category. Yes, Goldblum is a good actor, but he's always essentially Goldblum, whereas Mendelsohn is a revelation in everything he's in.

    • @Theomite
      @Theomite 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jennyfisch True, but both are similar in that movies only get better with them added.

      You should see him in "The Year My Voice Broke". 30 years old, that film - still gets me. Plus Noah Taylor!

    I loved Ben Mendelsohn in "The Efficiency Expert" which starred Anthony Hopkins and Russell Crowe and also in 'Sirens' with Hugh Grant and Sam Neill

      Bloodline, Netflix, family in Florida running a resort on a beach. Sissy Spacek is the matriarch. He's the black sheep of the family.

    I just watched who do you think you are with Ben I just love his presence the lovely way he holds himself and his great Aussie voice then I thought to myself gosh this guy is so much like me then i saw born 3 April 1969 omg born same year same day well there you go two Aussies

  • @DodderingOldMan
    @DodderingOldMan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    ... Did Seth say Spawn was created by Seth MacFarlane? I'm no comic book fan, but even I know that's not the right MacFarlane... I guess when you're called Seth you tend to favour other Seths :P

  • @transplant8406
    @transplant8406 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I first came across Mendelsohn in Mississippi Grind. The film is definitely indie but he is amazing. Rogue One was cool but I think the role was actually beneath his abilities.

    • @caesarandottoforever
      @caesarandottoforever 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Are you kidding me? He was great in Rogue One. As he was in Mississippi Grind. Such range.

    • @Jennyfisch
      @Jennyfisch 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Star Wars films, as much as I love them, are not actors' films. They are there for the sci-fi-fantasy experience in all its glorious cheesiness, and the actors are there not for the juicy roles but for Star Wars. Watch any Rogue One interview and see what a fanboy Mendelsohn is.

  • @bursegsardaukar
    @bursegsardaukar 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ben Mendelsohn is in roles in which he plays a corporate like in Ready Player One, The Dark Knight Rises, etc. If he ever get a role to play in any future Alien movies, maybe he can play a corporate member of Weyland-Yutani corporation.

    • @jmac8470
      @jmac8470 6 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      I think he just feels uncomfortable with praise. He's seem relaxed until Seth showers him with compliments and he feels weird about it. i think he's just a humble dude

    • @dontbefatuousjeffrey2494
      @dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      I dunno. Watch his other interviews. He's got that very dry Aussie humour, and he's a bit of a fidgeter...I just think he can't believe his luck. I mean after early fame in Australia, which gradually petered away a bit ... to get that massive international break with Animal Kingdom at an age when many actors are seriously re-considering their options - I'm stoked for him.

    • @drkskwlkr
      @drkskwlkr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @habbogigi I also tend to disagree with you same as @Memorandom. I re-watched Rogue One just last night (hadn't watched it since it released last year), and it is really not *that* bad. There are plot holes and acting is not top-notch, but on a certain level the movie makes a lot of sense (much more so than The Force Awakens). And Ben Mendelsohn played the role of Krennic - arrogant, entitled and pushy as any top-ranking Imperial - really well. Along with Alan Tydik's K2SO his was easily the best performance.

    • @bilalc4415
      @bilalc4415 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      People don't realize how bad Star Wars original trilogy was back then! The acting and the dialogue wasn't exactly masterpiece theatre. Most people that watched it then and now were much younger and let's be honest, never seen anything like that at the time. It's become nostalgic and the tricky part of nostalgia is that things look nicer or feel nicer than how they originally were. That's why people love music from their time more than music from now.
