[@ScarlettJ1221]

I came here to say that Will Poulter is underrated af

[@vb8428]

So awesome to see Kaitlyn getting roles frequently years after her awesome run on Justified.

[@TheCherrykye]

He's so talented

[@jonnyringo7013]

How is he? He's getting great roles

[@nikitamohanan2124]

Well he's about to enter the MCU as Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3. Won't be "underrated" after that ever.

[@andralunar]

Very. Should've been recognized massively for his role in Detroit. I've never hated a character as much as i did his.

[@daichisawamura20yearsago64]

I would never get tired of Will Poulter's voice, what a talented actor

[@darthmaul2005]

Honestlyyy

[@iuliag.6985]

There are two books on audible narrated by Will: Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky and The Wall by John Lanchester. Y'all are welcome 😁

[@NPA1001]

He’s incredible in “Detroit”

[@funguy170]

I like his Kenny voice.

[@darthmaul2005]

He was once known as “eyebrows kid”, now he’s known as being stunningly attractive 😂😂, and his eyebrows included in that

[@mumble3535]

He grew into his eyebrows, like a puppy with big ears.

[@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow]

He looks the same to me lmao

[@justsaying8358]

Literally you're the first person I see mentioning him and stunningly attractive in the same sentence.

[@simpleplanfan011]

Right?? He REALLY grew into his looks and I’m drooling now lmao

[@88bobcat]

“Grew into his looks” aka had plastic surgery like e every In Hollywood

The wall is an amazing book

[@WuhSuhDood]

I respect how much Will Poulter has grown as an actor. He was great in We're the Millers and keeps getting better

[@Monkeyman5550]

its hard to believe hes the same guy from we were the millers.

[@iainansell5930]

you should watch 'son of rambo' then...

[@hyuuganatsume2621]

I remember him for Narnia.. He was great there

[@SuperMarkizas]

Yeah, he and the kno what I’m sayin guy both carried that movie, it was clear then that he was a talented actor.

[@Spiinellii]

he used to be on e4

[@saratodd5677]

Honestly think Will is one of the most genuine celebrities I know, he just radiates warmth

[@juliansenfr]

The entire internet's perception on Will: That kid in We're the Millers 8 years ago Actual Will of today: This man with his British accent & a voice deeper than a whale's mating cry

[@benwhittingham1139]

Genuinely, why doesn't Ali Plumb have a prime time film show on BBC1? His interviews are more entertaining than anybody else, just give him two actors and a mic and you've got an hour of gold.

[@eb8747]

Hes genuinely one of the best interviewers out there, he's not just feeding his ego, he listens and responds and greats some really genuine fab moments!

[@cosm0850]

@@eb8747 That's his gimmick and he knows it sells. Seems like a very intelligent guy.

I love Kaitlyn’s resume just as much! She has had so many impressive roles. People what are you doing if you haven’t seen her netflix show “unbelievable” it’s soo good!!!!!

[@vb8428]

She was so good in Justified that she kept being brought back.

[@ahmadfbmf]

I guess now her unbelievable roles are justified...

[@inkasaraswati7625]

Thanks for the rec. I just watched her in No One Will Save You and she is an astoundingly good actress, would love to watch her more

[@visionsbykc]

Still believe that Kaitlyn Dever would have been a perfect Ellie for HBO’s The Last of Us

[@vb8428]

She killed it on Justified.

[@nicky3192]

PREACH

[@bitticlan]

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll offer her the aged up version in season 2.

[@ashish_sunny]

Yea but she is a bit old for TLoU year 1

[@NFSchampion]

She can still be cast as Ellie for season 2

[@koushikraja331]

damn, will poulter's voice sounds so deep. Can't wait for his Adam Warlock!

[@Fueunachimba]

"You ain't on my level" I couldn't stop laughing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂he told yall!!!!!!

[@maggieminimix9075]

Oh my. Will changed. He is so fine. And his voice. Why is it so deep? Wow.

[@Monique-ps9zv]

i never forget Will is English because the first thing I ever saw him in was when i saw the 3=third Narnia in cinemas and watched it a minimum of once a year ever since... "there once was a boy named Eustace, who read books full of facts that were useless" 😂

[@rliyah304]

I love Will Poulter that is all I've come to say

[@anthonywyattStylist]

It's fine girl unattractive girls love unattractive guys it's nature

[@rosalynredwood4542]

Hello 2 years too late but I came here to say the SAME😩

[@aliciarice6874]

I just have to say, Will's laugh at 3:46 is the most precious thing ever. I swear i love him, he is seems like one of the most genuinely sweetest guys in the world

[@maya-py3pz]

AHH will is so polite and kind i love him so much

[@peter-paulkutschlojenga7336]

Dopesick is such an amazing show. One of those shows where the minute someone asks if they have any series suggestions this is the first thing that comes up. The acting is superb, every actor in the series is nailing every scene and the story keeps you hooked.

[@kaseryn]

Anyone who hasn't seen Kaitlyn's work in Justified needs to know they are missing out on one of the best characters/performances in tv history. I'll always watch anything she's in on the strength of that.

[@eastvandb]

Her and Margo Martindale in that show blew my mind.

[@kaseryn]

@@eastvandb Same. Walton Goggins was also a revelation for me but really the whole cast made that show something special i thought.

[@eastvandb]

@@kaseryn Absolutely. Brilliant casting all the way through 'Justified'. But I search out Martindale and Dever constantly since seeing it.

[@Poniella81]

Justified was SO good. Her role and Walter Goggins. Brilliant!

[@rahullulla352]

That was the first thing I ever saw of Kaitlyn dever and immediately became a fan. Great actor

[@HorseheadNebula85]

Will Poulter is like a new up-and-coming Paul Dano. Incredibly underrated, extremely magnetic in his roles, and a real joy to watch onscreen.

[@foskco87]

They were both fantastic in Dopesick, which is an incredible series, but Kaitlyn's performance was seriously mindblowing. I've never felt a character to be so real. Just the sadness of her character feels heartbreaking. I don't understand how she didn't win like several awards for her acting. If that performance doesn't deserve an award then wtf does?

[@HeidiWruck]

I have to say, I think you're one of the best interviewers. You're smart and witty and you really put the actors at ease. None of the pompous crap, none of the belittling, just straight up having a chat and sharing a moment. All that's missing is the cup of tea. Keep it up love your work

[@normalforyoursake]

A cup of tea is actually one of the things that would make these interviews even better!

[@yohanespaskal9352]

Watch dopesick, selling point : there's batman punches Adam warlock scene

Once again, Ali Plumb with yet another banger of an interview!

[@anikanawar7365]

Ah, our Adam Warlock looks gorgeous!

[@rftg1793]

It's amazing how both are comfortable and happy being here

[@itsnotyasir]

I think Will Poulter is contractually obliged to not show his very obviously bulging muscles.

Great interview!! Always love your interviews, you make them interesting and don’t ask the same old questions everyone else does. Love watching!

[@gabriellarobb7883]

i love how he stared dead into the camera when he talked about being a fan of kaitlyn hahaha

[@ShawnColloton]

I could watch Ali Plumb interviews all day long. The guy has a great way of working with everyone, brings back past interviews, and asks questions that are on a Sean Evans level of insightful.

[@Kennedy749]

Why... am I all of a sudden attracted to Will Poulter? Like I saw him in We're the Millers and he was the guy with the brows and now I want to watch while he drinks a cup of coffee in a dimly sunlight library.

[@17bantawa]

They listed her resume and forget Unbelievable, unbelievable smh

[@joelwillems4081]

Bad Teacher, that's when I first noticed her. I'm not a t.v. or series person, almost strictly films.

I can honestly listen to Will all day.

[@DTNNooby]

we should collaboratively start a rumor that Will Poulter is actually Australian so people think he really CAN nail accents, then they also end up thinking he's a Hemsworth

[@1987SuperMummy]

Watched every episode over 2 days (I have kids so I couldn’t rot) I have to say well done to everyone. I’m British and I’ve watched soooo much Dr Phil it’s probably unhealthy so I’ve heard of OxyContin, I’ve seen the effects and what it does through that. So when I saw this on the Disney+ app it was a must watch and it did not disappoint. It has highs and lows but this is based on truth. I find most true story’s are quite heartbreaking and while there is heartbreak, I was physically talking to my tv with happiness with some things. The people actually involved in bringing these evil people down need an American version of a knighthood or something. They chose to practically give up and neglect the things and people they loved to fight for the truth for their people and they are just magnificent. I hope and pray the doc stays strong and that his goals are met fully. He is a good good man. He lost his way and found a new path and I wish him the best on it along with every addict who’s life oxy had destroyed

[@RambleMaven]

I’ve just finished watching the “Little Hope” gameplay and this interview popped up lol. Will Poulter was in it so I’m guessing that’s why but this was a great interview! It’s seemed like a natural conversation and the actors seemed comfortable talking to the interviewer so it didn’t seem forced.

[@Nixx2709]

This might be the first time I see an Ali Plumb interview, and it was so much fun. The guests were engaged, and felt more like some friends having a chat about movies rather than going through the motions of promoting their latest work.

9:54 When the British Interviewer mentions the British film Wild Bill (2011) with Poulter, and Dever thinks they're talking about an old Michael Keaton movie, and brings up Jack Frost (1998)... A) Wild Bill (2011) is a Masterpiece Indie film. B) They were both humble in ignoring the mistake.
