Late Night with Seth Meyers

Taylor is absolutely amazing as david koresh in this series. You don't even think of him when he is playing this guy. You know he has done his homework when it comes to the mannerisms and psychology of koresh. My favorite show of 2018 thus far.
Would love to see Taylor play David Koresh in a prequel series that shows the rise of the Branch Davidians
agreed
Christrulesall2 Totally agree... He was definitely fully immersed in that chracter. I hope he finally gets the credit and respect as a actor that he deserves. Have you seen him play Mike Murphy in Lone Survivor? Another brilliant performance!
Christrulesall2. I agree completely. I've seen a video about this raid on TH-cam That shows a lot of new, or unknown evidence on the massacre.... If you watch it you might be surprised at who was the real instigator of the sadness and pain.
Taylor is one of the most underrated actors, people forget that he can act, and not just a face.
Just finished this show last night on Netflix. Taylor was amazing in this series. Well he’s amazing on every show he’s done!
Tamara Griffith I watched it 3 times it was SO well done!
Isa Roz I might have to watch again myself.
Well duh he’s a talented actor. Also check out the film American Assassin now streaming on Netflix which he also stars alongside Michael Keaton.
Watched the waco series last night for the first time was amazing i knew he looked really familiar , i know him from the movie Lone survivor with mark wahlberg but taylor is alot skinnier in this
@@isabellerozycki2936 yes it is
I love this guy, he's underappreciated as hell.
It's so fascinating to me how actors can immerse themselves into another personality. I have the deepest respect
Jill Niemczynski - and I think Taylor Kitsch has the kind of deep empathy and emotional intelligence to bring all the necessary layers to these kinds of roles. He is one of the finest out there right now.
Taylor Kitsch is a phenomenal actor, not to mention fine as hell. LMAO! I love the way he talks in Waco, with such a calming voice. The transformation to DK was amazing. He carried it so well. He seems really down to earth and that's refreshing to see. I wish him the best. Beth
He like that in Friday night lights
He’s so good at playing the role, that I had to double-check to make sure he’s the same guy. He looks more like archival footage of David Koresh than he does...himself.
I really appreciate Seth in this interview, he let the interview to flow naturally. He didn't forcefully inject cheap comedy into the talk. I like being able to hear the guess talking a full sentence without getting interrupted by some snarky comment that's dryly funny.
Syaimma Alia he is the most down to earth talk show host imo
Much better than Fallon in my opinion.
Also Michael Shannon is a incredible actor
Matt Hudson one of my favs.
Loved the iceman
He might be the most underrated actor in the business right now.
his role in Waco was amazing!
Seth - “I was also 12 😏”
Audience - “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Me - “.......”
Taylor Kitsch is a GROSSLY underrated actor. Such a crying shame how Hollywood passed him up because of John Carter, which by the way wasn’t a terrible movie.
Blaming what happened to his career on a single movie like John Carter is too simplistic. I don't even think that movie bombing was laid at his feet as much as it was blamed on the studio and Director Andrew Stanton. I think Kitsch's career issues came from following that up with the train wreck that was Battleship and then the universally disappointing 2nd installment of True Detective. Hollywood brass quickly concluded that he was never going to become an A lister who could carry a tent pole film to success. Not to mention all anyone has cared about over the past decade has been the Marvel Universe and he never made it into that club. It also seems like he became fustrated to the point that he took a step back from the BS of Hollywood much like Josh Hartnett did but not anywhere as long of a sabbatical but even a small amount of time off the radar can be devastating to a Hollywood career. Keep in mind his hair line is very much receding and he is much older than he was when he began Friday Night Lights. Age as well as diminishing beauty doesn't hurt male actors as much as it does women but it's still going to have its affects on his career, especially if the studios don't see him as leading actor material with leading actor looks.
his bone structure is amazing
Yep. Taylor really is quite beautiful.
Samuel B he grew it himself !
Better looking than Koresh, but he really was made for the role
This series was amazing I just watched it and I can’t believe it wasn’t bigger
Waco series is great. Played Koresch perfectly.
He played the heck out of that part! Amazing mini series
This guy really did a job playing me . God bless
david koresh your dead but your cool
can I join lol
dead ? ha ha , that's what they think .
david koresh well can I join I need to be where im accepted
I don't know what to think with this comment 😶
the real Gambit
@Stephanie Rodriquez Relax, Stephanie.
True Gambit! He was great. script not so much
Taylor did an amazing job in this series. I was 17 when this happened in 93. I watched it all on the news. Crazy it was 27 years ago
He’ll always be Tim Riggins to me.
Texas Forever
Texas forever
Good friends living large in texas. Texas forever
Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose.
Watching Friday night lights now Mann that show was Soo fucking good
I was 2 years old when Waco happened I heard about it growing up but now that I'm in my mid 20's and studying Waco I realize it goes way deeper then I thought. It was bullshit what happened there so damn sad
He killed this role! This interview made me like and appreciate him even more. Props
Just an FYI. Musicians who don’t get on mtv don’t consider themselves “failed musicians”
Yeah that was a bit harsh and judgmental
the wolfy gamer 115 Seth definitely didn't say he was a failed musician because he didn't get on MTV. And I'm pretty sure David Koresh wouldn't consider himself a successful musician either.
@@josha6906 Except quality has nothing to do with success, so that's not a valid interpretation. It didn't come off as condescending, it came off matter-of-factly.
It's always so nice to see actors who don't mind indulging us in talking about their hit shows. For the fans who still watch it all the time, we always wanna know more haha
I don't know if I can ever look at him the same after seeing him with a mullet! 😆😂
He killed it in the Waco series on Netflix.
He did an excellent job. All the actors did. I was 18 when it happened I remember listening in on the news every day during the siege. I saw the series on Netflix three times already because it was so incredibly well done. Bravo to ALL the actors. For anyone who really wants to know more as to what had happened during that time I strongly recommend watching that series on Netflix.

this dude is doing a very good job of playing the part, bravo
Taylor Kitsch was utterly charming in this. I know many love him from FNL but I thought he was great in in American Assassin, the movie based on the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn. Sad, I don't think he'll be in any sequels.
I was more than a little disturbed with how they chose to portray Koresh’s character on the show. After extensive research from multiple testimonies from law enforcement and ex-members of his group, I have verified that he was in fact a psychologically abusive, controlling, and manipulative person, and charming and charismatic, as most cult leaders are. While I appreciate the show creators taking a more sympathetic view of Koresh, it would have also helped viewers be saved from the confusion of “being lied to about Waco” to show that Koresh did in fact hit other people-even spanking grown men. That he was not the founder of the Davidians, and that he was arrested and acquitted for getting into a shootout before with the rival members of his cult before ascending to power and declaring himself the messiah. Koresh is not “misunderstood”. He’s not an “anti-hero”. He was a dangerous cult leader, and possibly a knowing con man, perhaps not crazy but also not to be trusted by any measure. The ATF and FBI were correct in likening the situation to Jonestown, and their concerns were valid, despite whatever mistakes were made.
It's a fantastic series. He did a great job playing Koresh.
This dude and Timothy Olyphant could be brothers. Love Waco so far!
Everyone talks about Tim Riggins, all I'm thinking is Tars Tarkas!🤘
Virginyah!😂
Totar soljac
@n o b o d y h e r e ...... he’s lost so much weight I didn’t recognize him. I wish they had completed the entire book series
was a great show, i watched all 6 parts in one night.
Yooooo this guy is NASTY!!! ( nasty is a term us New Yorkers use to mean a person is very talented). He nailed that part!!!!
I watched this on netflix last night and in my recommend on youtube today thats not a coincidence lol
Taylor Kitsch was fantastic on this show. The main roles I knew him from before this were as Hopper in Battleship and the title character in John Carter, he was good in both of those but on another level in this
Texas Forever
Texas forever
Love this guy. He's always so great to his fans, and will always stop for a selfie. He's always so smart, warm and funny, with that typically Canadian bone dry sense of humour, and so knowledgeable about his work. He also does a lot for charity, such as the Ugandan based African Children's Choir, and WildAid, which educates local farmers on prevention of poaching. Taylor is so much more than just a pretty face.
I just watched the series and I think it's one of the best series that Netflix ever did and this actor who I think is a good actor and I seen them in a few balls would she does grace but never I thought that Taylor was playing David. Usually I skip the intro on Netflix but for some reason I let it play because I'll be watching it again and I seen his name and I was like wow
He played the part to a T.
AMAZING TAYLOR.....AMAZING.... I just watched this being on lockdown here and watching EVERYTHING on Netflix .... I am STUNNED by this story.... I remember seeing it on the news back then but it went on for so long I think people kinda lost interest in the story until the end and there were so many lies and coverups of course the public rarely knows the truth.... BRAVO
Amazing show!! Can’t believe it flew right under our radar
If you have ever seen Ides of March band song video "vehicle" its David Koresh twin brother singing!
I was 11, and remember this, and from Nova Scotia Canada. Waco was so sad.
And now a tragedy in Nova Scotia 😔 so sad
I really have no idea who this guy is, but he was great as Koresh. Totally nailed it.
I was 7-8 and born in Waco, and my only knowledge of this situation was growing up and hearing about it because I was born in Waco. Or Whacko Waco as I’ve come to ignore at this point.
SP3CTRA S3TV same here! Born and raised in Waco/Lacy Lakeview

I remember my parents being so tuned in to this developing story. It was almost like, the world came to a screeching holt and we couldn’t take our eyes off of what was going on. I was born and raised in Texas (still live about an hour and half away from Waco, in Fort Worth)
It was the most insane thing to see on public access television.
Now that I am a lot older and I get to see and hear testimonies about different people’s experiences... There are no words to describe my feelings about this.
Heyyyy i live in fort worth as well. Lol. Beach and 121 to be exact.
So crazy and incredibly sad that NONE of the children survived. Hard to know what to believe about the whole ordeal but regardless the way it was handled is heartbreaking.
darth paul you’re at Beach and 121?!? I used to Live at Beach and North Tarrent but now I’m in Haltom City off of Carson and 121. Small world!
I believe it came onto Netflix within the last month or so. A bigger audience drawn in also because its really well done.
Ambush in Waco was a brilliant true story TV movie , the actor Tim Daly was very good, he was in sopranos and Stephen King's Storm of the century.
Underrated Remy LeBeau/Gambit
He played Koresh perfectly like all of his other characters ♥️🙌🏻
I'll always like this guy because of gambit, and the gay cop he played in true detective. Such a great character
Canadian men are just so hot
Yes. Yes, we are.
Donnie Darko Good for you guys!
Gay eh
Taylor did a damn good job as David. I was very surprised he made me forget he was once Tim Riggins. The whole series was done well, people should definitely check it out if they have the time.
I didn’t know why I recognized him. Now I know it’s from RIGGINS ON FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS !!! I don’t know how I forgot about that show I used to love it for whatever reason damn
Love ya Seth.
Keep being awesome.
He is so handsome.
Taylor is such a likeable guy, so funny.
Esse homem é muito lindo. Quero ver ele como Gambit de novo
Annnd another entry into the "Great Canadians" Hall of Fame.
BJ Murray We're running out of room.
Fair.
His voice is music
Taylor did a damn good job portraying David.
It's one of those things like he's not just a good looking guy but he's an incredibly talented actor, too. I am not too familiar with actual like David Koresh recordings or whatever but IMO he absolutely nails the charismatic aspect of what these religious like borderline televangelists are all about. I know the show was criticized because it showed him in a more sympathetic light, I disagree with that because I think it showed him at his absolute most manipulative worst and we just interpreted it as sympathy for the character. If you pay attention it shows how he was able to sink his teeth into these people so well, and during times of peace he's not just able to keep them but also to attract more as well. I do think if they were left alone they'd likely still be there to this day, but essentially what the guy was doing was creating slaves out of them and for the most part he was doing it entirely legally. That's probably the main reason they chose Texas as their base of operations.
Taylor Kitsch, Greg Bryk... all these Canadian guys knocking it out of the park playing American cult leaders. I'm here for it.
Side note he was excellent in the Waco role definitely nailed it
Michael Shannon was amazing in Waco such a great actor
Also Taylor did an amazing job as David Koresh
This was an amazing series.
Great actor...so believable!
Everyone else on here: Seth is great or Taylor is wonderful.
Me: Taylor and I both live in Austin, so I have a chance! :p
He’s so adorably Canadian
God , please let me meet someone as hot as Taylor Kitch as my loved one 💛💛💛💛💛🙏
hail first gambit
The ONLY Gambit if you ask me!
As far as i'm concerned, Tim Riggins was already a phenomenal actor...but his embodiment of David Koresh in Waco tipped him over into legendary status. He BECAME David.
The actor's name is Taylor Kitsch. His first major role was as Tim Riggins in Friday Night Lights. And Kitsch gets better as an actor with every role he plays. Love this guy.
Why can I hear audio and cannot see any video on any of Seth's new videos this morning?

His performance was great in the documentary series. I thought he looked like Justin Bieber with long hair and the glasses.
i said tom brady with a mullet.
Ruth C He looked nothing like Bieber.
I love Seth and I love Taylor :)

And whatnot.
This guy convinced me he was David Koresh more than the real David Koresh. A very fine actor.
Same
Taylor did a great job
Hello from a native Wacoan
Anybody think he looks like Tom Brady
Hollis Baby yes! Literally was just saying he is going to play Brady in his biopic
He absolutely does. It's bizarre.
Finally someone who agrees with me!
4:29 "Still livin' in the past, Danny."
I wanna see it but it’s not on Netflix Australia
Love taylor
This is an amazing series and is extremely well acted. Check it out.
Still waiting on that season 2
HBO should cast Taylor and Michael Shannon for a True Detective series.
"Where's this lunatic from, anyhow?"
"Waco."
"You're tellin' me.. but where's he from?"
New Message - baddum tissch! Or should that be baddum kitsch!!
He did a really good job
I loved him in The Normal Heart
I had never heard of this guy until I watched the series. And damn he’s a great actor I’ll definitely keep up with him now
Really? John carter.. true detective s3.. gambit in wolverine origins which is where I saw him first
He says “what not” lol
It was really wild and sick to watch him taking the wives away from the husbands to the bedroom to get his sick kicks.
Who’s Taylor Kitsch? This is Gambit.
Love u❤
Waco came out 2 years ago??
I just wanna know why Koresh had fire arms in that place? If he was supposedly a man of god why would he try to undo violence with violence? Polygamy is a sin. I’m a Christian and we don’t follow a human leader. We see god and his son Jesus as ultimate authority. That doesn’t mean we we’ll go against all government laws. The only thing we won’t stop doing is obeying god even if the world tries to stop us. But we never respond back with violence even if that means we lose our life.
Pacifism is the goal but the tools are just to bring them to the negotiating table so it doesn't get to that point. Christians understand this by trying to promote peace while being ready in case all other means fail.
He looked EXACTLY like Tom Brady in this series
Why are you and I the only ones seeing this?!!?
2 years ago? Damn
