Amy Adams & Richard Madden | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

[@norabrakie8235]

Two of the most underrated actors to ever hit a screen of any sort. Amy is overdue for that Oscar and I’m so happy Richard is finally getting the credit he deserves.

[@ahyaahya2447]

Richard was excellent in GOT..even untill season 3

[@Real_SkyRipper]

"overdue for that Oscar" nice joke, if she is overdue then Tom Cruise is so overdue that he is planets of distance overdue to one, many others too.

@Nora Brakie no idea why you deleted what you wrote but i guess it was because you realize i was right correct, that's good because what you had written was terribly wrong.

Am I the only one who thinks the ending of Bodyguard was alright?? Like it didn't really have any loose end, the series could end with only one season just like that. Yeah I'd really appreciate it if season 2 actually happens so we can see Richard Madden playing David Budd once again, but... is it that necessary? It seems like the whole experience was somewhat emotionally demanding for him and I feel like he might be under pressure since almost everyone wants it back.. Beside, a season 2 is almost never better than season 1, especially when it is unnecessarily stretched out.

[@traceymuy1942]

He is such an amazing actor! He is so committed in bringing a character to life but hearing him speak about Bodyguard I do agree that he just seemed emotionally and mentally exhausted from it.I cant imagine just constantly being put into that mindset for a while. Happy he is getting tips from other actors bc that seemed like the hardest part of him playing in Bodyguard. Hopefully they do give him more support for that!

In 2016, I was on my second day at a new job at a jewelry store in Weho. This suuuuper handsome guy and a friend come in. I help him pick out a necklace for almost two hours. He was so sweet, even told me I was doing a great job. And oh man, that Scottish accent. Then, he asked how our GOT line was doing. His friend snickered a bit and said- you know- he's on that show. My boss and I were like ohhhhh ok great (thinking he was a one liner or an extra.) Then his friend spills the tea and tells us he plays Rob Stark. He looked so different in person I didn't even recognize who I was flirting with. Oh was my face red. Nicest normal guy. Charming AF.

I like how he says that he doesn’t want to be Romeo anymore... I really get that. He has so much potential, and is truly an incredible actor, he shouldn’t be stuck in the “same” character over and over again. I get that he is so charming, and seems perfect for a “prince” or any “romantic” characters. But honestly he is so great at playing deeper and darker roles, and show this other side of him, character that are not only brave and loving and heroic, but also are scared and desperate and lost. I really hope he gets more characters like that.

Best “Actors on Actors” I’ve ever seen. An experienced and lovely Amy Adams breaks the ice and connects with Richard Madden. Amy is underrated and Madden has a future after Bodyguard.

[@drewc.4333]

I can totally relate to what Richard Madden said about shaking off a character’s emotions after finishing a tv show. I am a musician, i play guitar and sing. When i am learning a new song, i take somewhat of a method acting approach to the process. I try to learn about the songwriter by researching the time period they lived in, the struggles they might have endured during their life, and the emotions they might have been feeling when writing that song. As a musician, I find it important to put myself in the shoes of another musician or songwriter in order to do justice to a song. From a musician’s perspective, I do my best to think about how an actor would get into character to prepare to play a historical figure and then I adapt the process to fit my art form.

[@the_andrewlloyd7322]

I love this Actors on Actors series. As an artist and musician myself, i found many similarities between how actors and musicians go about doing their work. Whenever i am learning a new song, I heavily research the artist who wrote the song just like how an actor would research a historical figure in order to put themselves in the shoes of the person they are portraying. As a musician, I strongly feel that the only way i can do a song justice is to put myself in the shoes of the artist that originally wrote the piece, which means learning what they might have been going through or what they might have been feeling when they wrote the piece. Losing myself in the emotions of the song and its creator is a very important part of my craft.
