Andrew Garfield sat down with us at length to talk about Tick, Tick...BOOM!, Spiderman, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and much more. Recorded Feb. 22, 2022 at 92nd Street Y.
Moderator Annette Insdorf interviews Andrew Garfield after a screening of tick, tick...Boom! Lin Manuel Miranda’s directorial debut was selected by the American Film Institute as one the 10 best films of the year and has earned Andrew an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his portrayal of Jonathan Larson.
Andrew Garfield’s impressive filmography includes Boy A for which he won a BAFTA Award, The Social Network (2010) and playing Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). He was lauded for his performances as the conflicted protagonist in Ramin Bahrani’s 99 Homes (2014), and in Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge (2016) as a medic during World War II who is a conscientious objector, in which he received an Academy Award nomination. His versatility can be seen in Martin Scorsese’s Silence, Andy Serkis’ Breathe, and this year in The Eyes of Tammy Faye as televangelist Jim Bakker. Onstage, he has starred in Angels in America in which he won a Tony award as well as Death of a Salesman.

"I won't forget tonight, I won't forget sharing this with all of you. It's been remarkable...Hold onto the thread." -Andrew Garfield

[@weasley2o13]

I will. I swear. And I will pass it on forwards.

[@Mars-tb2jr]

Andrew Garfield really knows what to say to send someone into an existential crisis. I'ma be crying for like an hour.

[@peggyd3368]

I love listening to Andrew talk about anything. His natural arrangement of words (in expressing himself), is just beautiful.

[@Bene_Gesserit]

He's a good conversationalist. I like how Andrew takes pieces of the character he plays with him when doing press. He channels them without coming off as pretentious which I think is a skill only of experienced and passionate actors.

[@nataliecarpio1886]

Jesus Christ, this man is unreal. He is so insightful, so well spoken, so kind and generous.... What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing this!

[@xjiminkook]

He's so well spoken, love the way he always talks so humble and kind about his co-stars, he's truly a gentleman! Love being his fan ❤️ Thanks for sharing this interview 🙌🏻

[@holasenorita]

What a lovely crowd. Love their enthusiasm.

[@morganainsleymusic]

Andrew Garfield interviews are my therapy

[@holasenorita]

This man is too humble for this planet.

[@eekeey]

I'm only 2 minutes into the video and I'm loving the audience and their enthusiasm.

[@xxkristinakatalystx]

I was there! It was amazing and he loved it. Everyone also cheered at all the Broadway cameos in the movie, it was fantastic.

[@eekeey]

@@xxkristinakatalystx aaaah you're so lucky!

[@sherila4834]

Andrew Garfield goes beyond being articulate and passionate, though he is both. He speaks in paragraphs you want to read. He sounds like a wise and impactful teacher and writer. He clearly isn't in this for mere applause; he steps on the audience's applause to get his ideas out, to find the right words to convey his ideas in just the right light. This is a man who is not only a brilliant, wonderful actor, but who will do things beyond acting, in the world. A book, a play, a screenplay, founding a theater, a school, a place for artists. I just feel in my bones, listening to him, that he has a great many more things to offer the world. We are lucky to have him. May he live long and prosper.

[@Nicole-tk8xv]

I will forever love and admire Andrew and how well spoken he is. I want to listen to him talk forever. I am really looking forward to his new show 'Under the Banner of Heaven,' it's so different to see him play a role like that.

[@Nazaba09]

I have a birth defect and am a screenwriter. A friend also has an illness and a screenwriter. Her father is a doctor. When she told him she felt Inadequate to him because she was ‘just a screenwriter’ he told her ‘I save lives but you make them worth living’. It’s very important for me to remember when I feel ‘non essential’.

[@jm1657]

That’s very beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@zazuu3895]

I think I cried like 5 times watching this. probably the best interview ever

[@sh4312]

That 3 finger gesture at 2:08 👀👀👀

[@sydneyp3357]

once again his words hit home. He has a remarkable way with words and is a beautiful human being. So much love and compassion to give to the world. I hope to meet him so I can properly thank him for his words on grief. I lost my twin to a car crash in 2020 and his words on grief get me through the really bad days and that means a lot to me.

[@jm1657]

I am so sorry for your profound loss. ❤🌈

[@epiphany8118]

i got chills watching this. he’s such an extraordinary soul and always inspires me to be more human, to embrace the artist and storyteller within and to seize every moment of life whilst i still can.

[@JocazJoscylla]

i didnt know interviews can make you cry until i watched this one

[@honeymoonavenue97]

Andrew Garfield is such a gem.

[@tombehaut]

i could listen to him speak for hours, it's getting concerning I think I might truly be in love with this man

[@tatahfernandes3570]

i think is unfair that exists only one of this man. we all need him, the whole humanity needs more Andrew, this dude can save the world as himself the same way he did being spiderman. i love you Andrew Garfield❤❤❤

[@dearjoan]

I love listening to Andrew. His talks are always so profound. I truly believe everyone who ever really listens to what he has to say walks away a richer human being. Thank you for sharing this talk!

[@Arwen1964]

Beautifully said.

[@serixskylark]

I love that you used the phrase he so often uses- making things richer. He said that about the world, making it richer with your art, and it’s such a profound statement that is in and of itself, very rich in meaning.

[@tashamiel]

he's smart, very articulate, and well spoken. and aside from how unspeakably great actor he is, he surely does not age 🔥

[@edm4321]

It's impossible not to fall in love with this man....

[@mariaceleste2109]

I’ll never forget this. Hold on to the thread, thank you Andrew.

[@rentfriend]

“Non stop” you know he just sang a little part of that in his head! You just know it. And that’s what makes him a theatre kid!

[@fanymunozh]

✨"Hold onto the thread." ✨ All the love and admiration I have for him... what a wonderful artist and human being. Thank you so much for upload the whole conversation.

[@leahkusaba4780]

no doubt he's a man with good heart...❤️❤️❤️

[@alexsa3951]

It's amazing story, which i didn't knew, but i really needed to know. Thanks to the cast for many reminders, for important words, for all these intervews. I touched to the bottom of my heart, i hear my voice now. and very inspired by Andrew's singing. Don't know how to thank you all. Sending you love and warm hugs

He is amazing

I was there ❤️

[@stacey101]

Ugb this man is incredible

[@marjanp4784]

Andrew is prone to adoration...

1:52

[@capricornkd7177]

What did that woman scream at 20 mins?

[@calidofrio13]

You misspelt Manuel in the video title.

[@weasley2o13]

And you misspelled "misspelled".

[@NCO1426]

18:22 (time I stopped at lol)

[@Sonot.intoit]

all I wanna know is if Andrew Garfield actually likes Lasagna.

[@xxkristinakatalystx]

He does but he doesn’t appreciate the reference 😂 (he answered that in a wired interview, I think)

[@nibncabc2737]

Why was she wearing a mask the whole time? Like I've nothing against people who are fearful, but they are 12ft apart - if she's that paranoid about getting it, maybe just avoid a crowded theatre entirely?

[@nancyshe9796]

I think she wants him to be safe. Masks don't protect you, they protect others in case you are ill.

[@foreverduke838]

Prob brainwashed.

[@dearjoan]

She explained why at the beginning of the talk. Netflix asked her to, to protect Andrew because he had many engangements around that time and many awards shows to go to and they didn't want to jeopardize that. It was kind of her to do this to protect him.

[@nibncabc2737]

@@dearjoan thanks for explaining! Don't know what Netflix had to do with it though

[@dearjoan]

@@nibncabc2737 You are welcome. Andrew did a lot of these talks as promotion for Tick Tick Boom!, which is a Netflix movie. So all the promo was sponsored by Netflix. They really wanted him to get out there, be visible and win those awards ;) He did another talk via Zoom right before this one, and another after it. He was working really hard to get the movie out there.
