This dude was the best in Detroit: Become Human. And he's a good guy in that! Playing as his android partner was my favorite part of that game. And he is in my opinion, the best Lex Luthor we've ever had.

[@streamcreature348]

The good ending between Connor and Hank 🥲🥲

[@VoiceNerd]

Clancy Bown is a legend for me in regards for his voice acting

[@markbennett2960]

Damn right

[@spdutahraptor777]

he's also a great actors.... but very underrated in my opinion

[@jayjay86443]

@@spdutahraptor777 aren't voice acting and actual acting the same? Sure it's only behind a booth, but you need to express that you're into your character still. He might not be Kurgan anymore, but goddamn it, he's a fine Red Death.

[@spdutahraptor777]

@@jayjay86443 yeah..it's kind of like the acting range...good actors can play both drama and comedy...i guess voice acting is just like any other category And that's why i mentioned it..because he's good at both

That guy has such a great voice.

[@tanjawinter6492]

My reaction watching Highlander (when it came out) at age 15 and seeing Clancy Brown: the sexiest villain ever! 👍

[@fanuvmusic]

I will always remember Clancy as Brother Justin in Carnivale! He was amazing in that role.

[@Loosesapphire5135]

Absolute truth, as I worked on Shawshank too, and got to know Clancy. He was very kind, easy to talk to and easy to work with. If you had the chance to ask him, he might remember, I was working with Frank behind the camera at the time and we had to coach Clancy at being "Sgt Hadly", and by that I mean not be Clancy 😊 He literally had a hard time with putting a good beating on "fat ass", so we had to shoot that scene many times, just because we couldn't to get him to be "violent". This was difficult for him as he is really such a good guy !

[@pppeppper]

The more I get to know about him, the more I adore him.

[@dylanwinters6226]

Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs!

[@quintinnowak-wolff7658]

NOT LAME

[@SilverKnight16]

Aw, Clancy Brown is a nerd. That's so adorable!

[@arnoldarnold2653]

It really buggs me how this guy didnt get some big budget movies. He is perfect

[@quatz1981]

I first saw Clancy Brown as the villain in Shoot To Kill with Sidney Poitier. Good film.

[@TheZgraen]

Mr. Krabs in the flesh! He's been in SO MANY good movies! Shawshank Redemption in my top 10 all time movies!

[@MegaMr46]

The Graen Reactor Mr. *Krabs*

[@michaeldavidcarlson]

Love Clancy Brown. He’s extremely talented and so versatile

[@StevEOnEShoT]

“The hardest screw that ever walked a turn into Shawshank...” This was a fantastic conversation! It’s awesome getting an in-depth look into such a talented actor. There’s really no other way to put it-Clancy Brown... what a lovely, lovely man.

[@itsreelydalin]

One of my big old man crushes

[@NYCvibes9526]

Same

[@leshehouse4725]

@itsreelydalin Same 😊

[@jonvthvnx5729]

Been a fan of Clancy since I first heard his voice as Neo Cortex in Crash Bandicoot, as a child. He’s done so many iconic roles!

[@SpeedDudeGTX]

Don't forget about Mr.Krabs

[@ricogreenberg]

Great interview! I’ve always been a fan of Clancy Brown ever since I saw him in HIGHLANDER.

[@chriscorcoran4515]

He's been in so many great roles, but he'll always be Mr. Krabs to me.

[@cedricexquisite1999]

Chris Corcoran no he always will be hank now to me :)

[@vampirethespiderbatgod9740]

He'll be Lex Luthor and Hank for me :) And the cop from Shawshank hehe

[@thomasandrewclifford]

The moment you realize that Clancy Brown is the voice of Mr Krabs. Good call getting a voice that listenable on the podcast.

[@danielsolano4606]

Kristian is such a great interviewer, the guests always start off feeling like what they’re doing is just part of the job (which it is), but by the end they always open up so much and look like they’re actually enjoying themselves

[@briggs179]

“Get back to work Mr Squidward” greatest quote of all time

[@oharayoung4992]

He was awesome on pet sematary 2 eating those mashed patatoes lol

[@thedisablednerd007]

you gotta get Sam Witwer!!!

[@estebanarriaga8201]

Just realized he's in Detroit become human....he's such a great actor

[@robertwellsiii8109]

That voice reminds of my childhood. He is easy one of the top Lex Luthor.

[@rabidrabbitshuggers]

“I’m George Lucas-you do what I say.” Damn that’s frighteningly accurate.

[@tiagocruz10]

Loving these interviews. Clancy Brown definitely a great part of Highlander and Shawshank.

[@sethowen8107]

been a fan of this guy since Carnivale. looking forward to listening to this

[@willdixon2587]

That show flies under the radar. He was creepy as hell in it.

[@GeeVanderplas]

He was so awesome in that! That last scene of season one with Norman still gives me chills just thinking about it... "There is no demon in me. The demon IS me." So good!

[@vbacs22]

I've seen many films with him and Carnivale is his finest performance ever! I don't understand why he doesn't get more credit for that...

[@maxpalombella11]

I freaking love Clancy Brown!!!

[@rde4017]

I've loved Clancy since the original Highlander when I was 16. Great interview x

[@cryotek22]

Earth 2!!! Danzinger....Clancy has done so much I love

[@orlandoaugustostock839]

Clancy Brown legendary

[@dwaynefernandes2644]

I love this show now! Great guests and a great conversation. Also, Clancy Brown was great in ShawShank .

[@stryyker9]

was also the best part of the movie show specifically during the Toad Hop days.

[@Elite-bh6pm]

He was absolutely terrifying in Shawshank.

[@efett1100]

What a great interesting interview!

[@BigLousClubhouse]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Kristian... now... get him on Jedi Counsel!!

[@jeffersonian000]

Clancy Brown is the best! I still call refer to him as “The Kurgan” whenever I see him on screen.

[@bw-typhoon7884]

He's my altime favorite bad guy! That been said I think it's a pitty Highlander didn't get more airtime in this great interview. Even more because there's a lot of talk about his voice-over business, and there's only one movie where his voice is beyond GREAT, and that's when he's playing The Kurgan. Why didn't you ask how on earth he did managed to get that raspy dark f*cked-up voice! I've seen another clip here on YT where he performs on stage... in a kilt... a flawless Kurgan voice (clip from 2016 so 30 years later). I've been trying for decades to get that sound, without any succes... and he's performing it like it's nothing. In short; I want Clancy's voice!!! ;-)

[@RunRaeRun]

I love how they talk about the Star Wars live action show (Mandalorian) and how he should be in it and then I look at his imbd and he's already in it! Buuuurg👹👹👹

[@omarcadoffee]

Love Clancy brown, first time I saw him was highlander as the kurgan. One of the all time great villains.

[@kevinryley6019]

The Kurgan Lives! Thank you Clancy, for the many, many characters that have made me smile.

[@justingilmore123]

Another incredible interview! Clancy Brown is a legend! Savage Opress, Ryder Azadi, General Eiling on The Flash, Major Schoonover in Marvel Netflix universe, Surtur in Ragnarok and most importantly Mr. Krabs!

[@ysteinandersenbotnen3101]

Shoot to kill 1988, great Movie and part. Big fan!!

[@hairullaev]

Kristian, great show. Love the authenticity and the layed-back factor, if you will. It's not just a interview, but it's a conversation ! Can't wait for more.

[@marywarren8357]

LOVED him in Earth 2!!

[@phantomphorce]

Yessss, he’ll always be Danziger!

[@nanoblue14]

You should totally get Dave Filoni for one of these, on his new animated series, Lucasfilm, it would be rad!

[@rdixon2475]

He'll always be the Kurgan to me. Happy Halloween, ladies!

[@CorwinPatrick]

"Hello Pretty..."

[@Highlander1518]

The Kurgan is his greatest role.

[@Brook11223]

He is always going to be Lex Luthor for me. Of course he was Surtur, Savage Opress, Raiden, Ryder, Wolf, Haykon. But in the end he is Lex Luthor.

[@SuperShanko]

Raghu Seetharaman Funny enough he auditioned for Superman first.

[@Brook11223]

SuperShanko I know but Timm realized he was better fit for Lex Luthor. Sherman Howard who voiced the preserver auditioned for Lex Luthor and then went on to voice Derek Powers. Also his Parallax was great.

[@danieldickson8591]

My first exposure to Mr. Brown was as the Kurgan in Highlander. Talk about making an impression.

[@SuperShanko]

Raghu Seetharaman I know that part as well. Timm made the obvious smart choice with both him and Tim Daly for Sups.

[@samg2599]

He's Mr. Krabs for me

[@HeathMartinVO]

I love Clancy, his VO work to Starship Troopers and everything else... What a GEM keep them coming brother!! these make my day.

[@davidmcfadden1763]

I'll admit I have been critical of collider as of late, however I've always exempted Khristian, and this is a classic example of why. Fantastic interview, Harloff is fantastic! I love Clancy Brown!

[@txalex]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. Great job Kristian and Collider crew!

[@LadyLiberty4U]

Just discovered this: Absolutely amazing interview with one of my favorite actors! You did a terrific job covering Mr. Brown's fabulous and memorable contributions to the enrichment of our lives. He's just as nice as I always hoped he'd be. A true 'gentle giant' with a towering intellect! Thank you for this!!!

[@Itss-JJ]

The Kurgan! There can be only one!

Clancy Brown is badass. Viking in the Sean Penn movie forget the name. The Kurgen in Highlander. So much voice acting to list. Awesome Actor.

[@just1morejonjr]

OMG THIS IS GREAT!! I'M TOTALLY GEEKING OUT 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@sahityabk]

wasnt too familiar with clancy brown. thought i would play it for 5 min. and see. Watched the whole damn thing. kristian is a natural interviewer!

[@theodorehumphreys907]

Love Clancy Brown, Kurgen, Lex Luther, etc... Great interveiw

[@davidisho13]

Such an awesome interview. Love this format and how it sounds very casual instead of the typical types of interview questions you normally hear. Keep up the great work in front of and behind the scenes crew!

[@ellecue]

Been a fan since Clancy played Rawhide in Buckaroo Banzai.

[@TravisSoFat48]

ellecue YES! I had to scroll too long to find the Buckaroo Banzai love!

[@tonybcamara]

Great interview! I'm with Kristian I know about Clancy Brown and thinks he is a great actor but didn't realize how much he has down.

[@trazy6592]

The Kurgan is my fav Clancy Brown character.Scared me,lol.Gr8 interview.Hope u have alot more.

[@BrandonGarbage23Trucks247]

Clancy Brown has been one of my favorite actors of all time!

I had to come back to this video after playing through Detroid Become Human. He is so likeable in that game.

[@LittleMissDeath]

God, I have such a crush on this man. 😌

[@annawagstaff3372]

Long Feng, Gunmar, Captain Black, Savage Opress, Ryder Azadi Mr. Krabs. Stop me any time. I've been hearing his voice everywhere for years!

[@jpayne314]

Clancy is great, good job Kristian.

[@erickcleveland2597]

Can't stress enough how much I love this new show! Harloff is just perfect to banter with celebrities. Keep it up!

[@thomasstreeten1722]

Highlander has always been his most memorable role for me, but I often think of him from the Outer Limits episode Afterlife, in which he plays the good guy!

[@thephoenix3155]

Clancy is full of charisma!

[@iamgroot2654]

Great interview Kristian!! I will always remember him in Pet Semetary 2 and Starship Troopers

[@smellyderpface]

keen for this episode! loved the previous one

[@richb313]

Great interview Kristian. Always have been a fan of Clancy's and it was so good to see how much you put him at ease that he really opened up. This format really hits the sweet spot.

[@Sighhhh]

You really got something here Kristian. I've been hooked on all the episodes so far and look forward to see who else you can get.

[@john_Castle_Spiliotopoulos]

Its better to burn out, then to fade away. Favorite line in any movie. Clancy Brown is one of my favorite actors and Kristian you did a great job i learned so much more about Mr. Brown and that is what a great podcast is supposed to be. Keep it up bro, love what you are doing with Collider.

[@tornadochaser2457]

Thanks for this Kristian! Was wonderful to hear Clancy's thoughts.

[@neobear66]

love these interviews, unlike late night interviews you get to have a real conversation with your guests. great job :)

[@erikseavey9445]

He's one of the greats. If James Earl Jones hadn't done the voice of Darth Vader, Clancy would have done phenomenally.

[@justinharris7305]

This is the best new show to be added to this channel since the Schmoedown for sure, I am loving it so far. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes, you got me locked in Collider!

[@jrhcreator]

I enjoy these 1 on 1's. The longer form format creates a better conversation.

[@cornhusker221]

It's better to burn out, than to fade away! The Kurgan is truly immortal.

*Put your hand on that wall!* Been a fan since Highlander. He's a legend.

[@philharrison5210]

Epic once again. Clancy scares me but his voice is soothing. Weird right. Thanks team. Your shows are getting better and better. And they were awesome to start with.

[@sigma682]

He’s been one of my favorite actors since Starship Troopers

[@Ulghan]

Love this interviews! You're threatening us with Rocha and fine, I'll take that too if it means you keep doing this!

[@christophermoreno1615]

Can’t wait to see how Harloff gets O’Shea to talk Star Wars. Another great episode!!!

[@TheTWK70]

I'm really loving the 1x1 show. Kristian's a great host and the guests so far (though there's only been two so far) have been fantastic.

[@kieferroche1995]

Guests have been off the charts .Great stuff .

[@jpwnz3867]

Does anyone else find it weird how Mr. Brown sits with his hand between his legs?😂 Great episode though! Keep up the awesome work!

[@harrisonsnellgrove8843]

These are some great interviews. Really enjoyed listening to this on my way to work. Nothing groundbreaking but a real comfortable laid back time with someone that seems like an old friend at this point because of how frequently we’ve seen him and heard him. Good work Kristian. I may disagree with a lot of what’s been happening with Collider but this content will keep my subscription and keep my attention coming back to you guys.

[@IkeThe9th]

One of those icon voices (like Hamill's) that you just know without even looking.

[@colinvandenberg3446]

I don't know if I've ever seen him in live action, but he's one of my all time favorite voice actors.

[@kimjoan212]
