[@dead0show]

That's a real actor right there. Not very famous, but always doing great movies. He blends so well in his characters, you see a movie, you know he's there but he somehow isn't...such an underrated talent.

[@theozmaofoz]

He's incredible. He really is.

[@dead0show]

ha not bad !

[@fede3110]

He has a great personality, and as an actor he is the best character in The Morning Show by far

[@hanonah34]

I loooved him from the morning show. After watching this, it seems as if he played his role on the morning show very naturally! It is soooo him. 😍🤣❤️❤️❤️

[@nilanjandutta_]

@@hanonah34 the personality and the voice 🤩🤩

[@LorenzoDoesntExist]

Very low bar, but he is amazing in that show.

[@alextempestautomationsmave3542]

Yup!!!

[@alydematti]

Billy is so handsome.

[@mikescorpio13]

straight man here but i said he was the best looking actor to someone the other day.It was in Waking The Dead when he comes at his editors brother job looking handsome in military suit...then he meets Jennifer Connelly who was at her peak in beautifulness in that film.

[@06mustangCE]

Almost Famous is one of my all-time favorite movies. Cheers to the Uncool.

[@errlo09]

I love how self deprecating he is

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

I can feel his aura. It is this beautiful purple colour.

[@Mia7189]

Love that story. Billy Crudup is one of my favorite actors.

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

I was smiling throughout this whole video!

[@mariav9445]

I loved these stories so much.

[@thesuperframe]

If I were going to cast a creepy charming man in a movie, it'd be him, he pulls of sinister yet likeable and it makes my neck crawl aha

[@natalie8212]

Like Crispin Glover!

[@lekshminath9039]

Watch the morning show in Apple plus

[@CeeeN16]

That’s exactly him on the morning show omg. You hit the nail on the head dude.

[@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi]

OMG that is what he play in the morning show. Are you from the future or something?

[@grqv1ty]

like ted bundy

[@Sunshine_Ses]

His personality and the story and his little dance at the end had me cracking up. 🤣

[@m3rl1n4]

He's such a great storyteller! I was smiling and laughing the whole time. 😄

[@NymulAhmed]

how dare you not recognize Dr. Manhattan ?!

[@JoseAngelC]

Was it the white skin or the lack of hanging dong?

[@NymulAhmed]

silly u, of course it's the dong

[@QuirkySexyCool]

it will always be the blue glowing dong isn't it...

[@wastagwaga]

Because he is Russel Hammond.

[@Emilydee456]

lmao loved the robert plant story. billy's so cute like a kid

[@Denis-89]

They should do an "Almost Famous" reunion on the show! Like seriously

[@Tartantotottins]

My man, do I have a surprise for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGGlapiBiM2hobs

[@manguy2000]

Wow, people didn't really clap for Robert Plant until they realized he was with Zep..and then "oh we are supposed to scream here and pretend we are fans and we know what's going on"

[@THX-um5sb]

exactly,nice catch man.

[@AlainBruno]

Billy Crudup is a good actor.

[@AntiDot43]

He played so well as Russell Hammond in Almost Famous.

[@16annia]

I am his biggest fan!!

[@penehenano]

hes made me cry, trip balls happy, it's like I know him personally in every film best actor in my opinion

[@ErikSamuel1988]

His voice is so likeable

[@marsdent3483]

What makes it funnier is you can hear everything he's whispering.

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

This just makes me want to watch Almost Famous again.

[@bonicababyeahh2710]

So love his voice.

[@alexare6431]

His voice is so soothing

[@bory_89]

This man has such great energy! It’s so addicting 😍

[@sophiaanneluces]

He is such a charming man.

[@ShortinaR]

"He too would have been a theatre fan"

[@SunnyBear]

LOVE that film so much! And I love how fanboy-mode took over him haha!

[@Who-qn5fl]

Billy has superb voice!❤️

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

He should have gotten an Oscar nom for Almost Famous!

[@eighteen-naked-cowboys]

loved him in Rudderless

[@daisyjou2608]

He is so so so handsome and charming!!!!!!!😍😍😍

[@swatsoninchina]

Love Billy! His performance in BIG FISH was brilliant as well.

[@terryTHEMARVELOUSmr88]

i could be totally wrong but isn't this the same guy who starred with Jacquin Pheonix in that old movie "Inventing the Abbotts"?

[@mysterysurf4554]

Great catch!

[@tarantino900]

Dr. Manhattan!!

[@Romain1212]

Dr. Allen, I presume

[@comedian416]

"The worlds smartest man poses no more threat to me than its smartest termite" Dr. Manhattan

[@myasaar5870]

Almost famous is the best movie ever made

[@SuperFastEddies]

When you see Robert Plant, you're supposed to say "thank you".

[@Roy-G-Biv]

Almost Famous....top 5 movie for me

[@Rrrachshow11]

Stage beauty. I know his name for that performance alone. Crudup should be Oscar Meat. Not DiCaprio, for just one example.

[@faezehanisinia8685]

he was really amazing in stage beauty. I remember I almost cried when he said: "I want to act as I did before"

[@inipundac]

so underrated

[@StarbucksMary]

god, i just love this man

[@jessiestark3176]

He was great in 1 mile to you. Such a great character. Love big fish.

[@jaykay6387]

Great, underrated actor. Should have had a bigger film career than ended up having. One of the few actors who can really create, flesh out and inhabit characters. Russell Hammond and Steve Prefontaine in Without Limits were remarkable performances. Even the way he handled that story in the clip was far beyond what a typical performer is capable of in an interview setting.

[@aclementine9928]

haha hes a good story teller

[@justjaida1343]

I LOVE THIS SHOWWW!!!

[@paulichiceroa.2146]

Great storytelling!! BTW Does someone knows which song is played at the very end of the video (or all the videos of this season) I guess is from The Roots, I really would love to know!

[@max15398]

Funny and charming! 😀

[@MsAaannaaa]

haha I just wanna hug him :D

[@zlamelie]

LOL loved this story. This is exactly how I would be acting if I saw Percy. 🤣❤️ I've been watching The Morning Show and thinking this guy is cool. Tonight I've started watching Where'd you go, Bernadette and saw he's in that too. I decided to Google him and was super surprised to find out he's the Golden God from Almost Famous, which is one of my fav movies. I then, googled him some more and ended up on this particular video and I cannot believe this super funny story is about my FAV person of all time, Mr. Robert Plant. Crudup, we're obvs meant to be. :)

[@NJCUJan]

He is a golden god.

[@vww3606]

he is going to be a great henry allen

[@VelinSevven]

I think he looks like a young John Wesley Shipp as well so if there's ever a classic flash origin or something on the show, they should definitely try to get him.

[@spaulgreen2794]

rudderless = billy crudup

[@senhorcarlos3105]

Spaul Green best sentimental movie ever

[@spaulgreen2794]

I love when he sang that song.....take a breath and count the stars let the world go round without you if your somewhere you can hear this song so sing along close youre eyes and count to ten maybe loves the only answer....

[@efnarios]

Billy Crudup & Anton Yelchin =(

[@wiinterflowers4277]

Such a cool film

[@adamparton5138]

My late grandad met Robert Plant when he was working back in the day. They got talking and Mr Plant invited him to listen to some of the music he was working on, ever the honest farm worker, he promptly told him it was "bloody rubbige." Which in his self made dialect meant that it was shit, as he preferred country and western style music. I kind of wish he'd been more polite but he was a hell of a character our old Eric was.

[@aeroangel2768]

Wow he looks nothing like Russell Hammond in real life. I wouldn't think it was the same person.

[@TheDylbert]

Even celebrities are dreamers.

[@JaGo86]

Loved this guy in Neighborhood watch.

[@wiinterflowers4277]

Ja Go where was he in that movie?

[@riva7061]

0:04 Who says 'thank you um' lol

[@silverdrifter2472]

RIVA

[@silverdrifter2472]

RIVA the host said that

[@riva7061]

oh lol i barely see his mouth moving

[@LoungeActVideos]

Check out Rudderless! Another great Billy Cruddup film.

[@NewMessage]

So his attempts to meet other celebs keep getting crudded up. Apt, really.

[@askaradzi]

GREAT SHOW.

[@patricksivak6464]

If there is ever a movie about Mitt Romney this guy would be good probably

[@Sharon-zu7oq]

I didn't know this was the 'I am a Golden god' guy I love Almost Famous even if Jimmy wasn't in it, not only is the storyline good...the soundtrack is great

[@jb-lb9mn]

Jimmy Fallon actually is in Almost Famous

[@Sharon-zu7oq]

@@jb-lb9mn I loved this movie even before I knew Jimmy was in it, and now knowing that he's in it is just a bonus, it's just such a fun movie

[@kristenm.schwartz3206]

God I love Billy Crudup!

[@BoredPupils]

Bills the man, favourite movies are easily Big Fish and Without Limits.

[@mariemachelle]

Hesher I love Big Fish!

[@ozzstriker101]

Where is the Rabbit's Foot, Musgrave!?! WHERE?!?

[@HMABH]

what an interview!!

[@ellekay4758]

What a fantastic dudeeee

[@spoyledbratt]

He seems like a very nice person in real life

[@Mamajoanie123]

He left his pregnant girlfriend of 8 years for Clare Dane. But I adore him as an actor

[@Lizzo13]

Almost Famous was great, but he was also amazing in a little known film called Dedication that also starred Mandy Moore.

[@mikemendez7111]

Awesome Billy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@monio.9444]

"It's my line now" =))

[@Karen-pj9cy]

I loved Billy in Dedication that was a great film I also loved him as Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen, and in The Longest Week. I'm excited to see him as Henry Allen in the DC Extended Universe movie The Flash

[@bryanlourenzzo1862]

please subscribe on my channel

[@Unqualifiedmedicalperson]

I'll always remember him as Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke

[@rollandibrahim4277]

If only he could look like Dr. Manhattan every day.

[@QuirkySexyCool]

you mean with the naked hanging glowing dong?

[@rollandibrahim4277]

Quirky Cool Now I wish I looked like that.

[@QuirkySexyCool]

Rolland Bai me too bro... me too...

[@sai_0910]

omg on the morning show his acting was too good !!

[@someguynamedmike4766]

Is it bad I remember him thanks to The Watch? The Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill & Richard Ayoade comedy & I've seen Watchmen, didn't realise he was Dr Manhattan aka big blue penis guy

[@efnarios]

Rudderless... with Anton Yelchin,

[@mariamnemara3801]

Billy is my Platonic love, I even had a romance with a guy identic to him.

[@pamelaconstantine170]
