DP/30: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, actors Gary Oldman and Mark Strong

[@jsyvret472]

Mark strong is an underrated actor. Literally great in everything he's in

[@WayneLynch69]

George C. Scott said he rates an actor on whether he sees the role or the actor playing a part. He always seems the role; a great tribute.

[@peterroycroft]

@@WayneLynch69 Totally agree. Mark Strong is one of those under-appreciated actors who always delivers his character.

[@mixerD1-]

Mark Strong....a woefully under appreciated star, an absolutely class act.

[@JohnLutherable]

I love how the camera zooms dramatically on Gary when he reminisces about his first time in America, like he's gonna say something really sentimental, and he says "I was in a bar and there was a drink there called Knob Creek", LMAO

[@stefanbernhard2710]

Ken Burns effect. Even funnier how it zoomed back out in shame 😅😅

[@TheMonkiAss]

mark's voice, omg..

[@williambarlow3813]

Yes Yes, What a voice. Always loved this guy

[@HunterZolomon]

He didn´t get much screentime, but Mark Strong was magnetic in Tinker, Tailor...

[@dylanmorgan2752]

His character in the book is the same.

[@ThetrueNickabilly]

What a cast, what a director, what a film.

[@charleneking7262]

Mark Strong is the best!!! The look between Jim and Bill at The parry--basically a spoiler-alert. Perfect movie.

[@charleneking7262]

He's magnetic in every single moment of every single film he's in--he's is amazing. i know the shoulder shift Gary refers to--Jim's whole life/world with Tom is shifted in his shoulders--he knows in that moment, the truth. I've seen this movie so many times, because you want to see every frame. A film bold enough to move at that pace needs every moment taken in. Beautiful movie, so simple and powerful.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

One of Britain's best actors.

[@Brandon-bh7pj]

2 brilliant actors. Mark is good, I do like watching him in movies and I think he's definitely underrated.

[@RandomCarrot2806]

This film was just incredible, in particular the acting and sound design. I think I've watched it 10 times by now and I can't think of a single weak point or sore spot in the entire movie. It was a delicious slow burn littered with pearls and diamonds all throughout the film.

[@charleneking7262]

Magnificent film. The simplicity of a middle- age George is absolutely phenomenal. Gary's Karla monologue--that his love for Ann was essentially, Karla's way in--my goodness--movie-making at it's finest!! And I love anything with Mark Strong. And of course Colin Firth.

[@charleneking7262]

The 'simple' life of a spy, almost. George getting his glasses...the music. It's absolutely my all-time favorites. And I've seen it about 10x too. Le Mer, genious!!!

[@CARLIN4737]

wow

[@goneby100]

The first time in twenty odd years, was going to see Tinker Taylor at the movies, and well how fantastic it was, nailed the characters, the atmosphere of the plot, and of the times. A master class in movie making.

[@CenyddRos]

Gary Oldman is amazing, so glad to see him in a lead role again - one of the greatest actors ever.

[@blondegirlsezthis8798]

This film is a masterpiece and is the British equivalent in terms of the cast of true all-stars that Glengarry Glen Ross was. Oldman was robbed of an Oscar for this movie.

[@cheekarp2180]

Mark Strong was so great in that Robin Hood movie, and that last scene he was in always stuck in my mind, he was in shock, bu then like a knowing what just happened, acknowledgement and acceptance that he was bettered and dying in a way he expected and kind of 'hats off' to Hood, all in one motion and expression. Probably the best death scene in any movie as it's so brutal and quick yet outstanding.

[@Kaleogriffith]

I love the respect these two give to each other throughout the interview-thoughtful, caring, and free of ego. Nice change of pace!

[@VLind-uk6mb]

They also talk about the nature of acting, and their own acting, with a professional intelligence that is common in the UK and rare in the US, where actors usually turn up on late night chat shows and are required to be funny at all costs. Means certain kinds of actors and films rarely appear.

[@kcrnz]

Mark strong would make a great James Bond.

[@evasirova3985]

absolutely!

[@theculturedbumpkin]

I've always loved Mark Strong's characters, but I didn't realize what a VOICE he's got. Wow!

[@jylyhughes5085]

A Masterpiece .... stupendous film.

[@doncorleone8686]

Probably one of the best spy films ever. To be honest I had to watch the film twice to fully understand all that was happening.

[@charleneking7262]

AGREE. One of the best films ever--in my opinion.

[@brocklanders796]

@@charleneking7262 Totally agree, an amazing movie.

[@jeravincer]

even better than your movie, Don Corleone?

[@evasirova3985]

Me too, but I love movies like that. No matter how many times you watch them, you always see something new

[@Mark-ld5um]

Mark looked very impressed that Gary knew he had a part in Inspector Morris

[@rabyhook]

"Wow! Blimey!"

[@VLind-uk6mb]

Morse. I remember it too -- in the Masonic one. Mark Strong was a cop who stopped him and breathalysed him and was flummoxed when Morse passed because he hadn't liked his host's choice in beer.

[@claumeister1]

Strong is a perfectly nice guy, but you can see from his look (and voice) why he plays villains. If you can go bald that young and still look cool, that’s pretty badass.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

Mark Strong is my favorite actor ever

[@Shinobi33]

Two masters of their crafts.

[@charleneking7262]

Mark and Gary. Simply one of my favorite movies, ever!

[@alizzybookling]

Mark and Gary get on well. Two actors that respect each other and their bodies of work. Awesomeness on that couch right there. Mark Strong is unbelievable. And Gary Oldeman is the chameleon of the cinemas. They're more talking to each other than the interviewer. I ate this up.

[@sidehustle8396]

These guys make me proud to be English. Amazing, thoughtful people. Great video

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

13:10- 13:38 Mark seems like he got a bit giddy about Gary remembering his first role. That is very sweet. Great actors, both of them.

[@jimmerhardy]

If you've missed this one check it out and thank me later. One of the most interesting and well knitted films I've ever since. The grand finale leaves you stunned, dabbing a tear.

[@HDB1974]

Bravo to Gary Oldman and Mark Strong for persevering with the outstanding idiocy and banality of the interviewers questioning. The creativity of Oldman and the I'm keeping my mouth shut in case I say something I'll regret from Strong is a joy to behold.

[@kamuelalee]

Fantastic actors, great to see them together.

[@evelynbaron4428]

I love le carre and that bbc production (Guiness) was without equal. Then the remake was, impossibly, just as good. Love those guys! Wish everything was on that peak level. So funny, that collision between American interviewer and these two Hitchhikers of the Galaxy. A gift!

[@Qwazin]

When Gary smiles and laughs he looks like David Bowie.

[@AnkushNarula]

This is one of the best acting interviews I've ever seen

[@johnmac1960]

Try The Actors Studio!

[@okyouknowwhatever]

Yeah, it's got a genuine feeling to it, like it's actually real people sitting there talking and not pre-programmed robot actors from a shallow Hollywood studio. Gary's a real person, and Mark seems to. The setting too, just seems like a random room at some random place, with those leaves in the window. Very chill.

[@cristi0291]

Gary is so modest and so kind as well, tender voice, amazing actor :)

[@someonesaveme5628]

Which is awesome because he seemed like a total douchebag back in the dracula days. He's like a completely different cool person now.lol

[@jessica5497]

@@someonesaveme5628 because he was on drugs, drunk and hated the director because the director was a bully

[@1laughinggravy]

Movies that DEMAND your ability to pay attention and use your intelligence are so rare, that they allow a movie like this to shine like a beacon. And Gary Oldman is at the top of the list for talent, charisma and intelligence. Great movie, great interview.

[@sternumagnum]

Gary Oldman is extremely gracious throughout and truly a fellow thespian to the younger Mark Strong.

[@brianpaige4884]

Two of our all time greats.... especially mark.....

[@dippyzippyzeal2556]

5:02 You played to the next generation who never saw the original movie! You reached them!!!! Thanks!

[@luchiamac]

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is the perfect movie! Perfect cast, Perfect music! Everything is Perfect! I can watch it endlessly! Thank You!!!

[@charleneking7262]

It is a perfect movie.

[@mariafourre8415]

I love how you can sense the love of their craft. So inspiring!

[@mikelykan.9416]

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is brilliant!!! just brilliant!!! A brilliant piece of work do see, its a slow burner but its Brilliant.

[@bombonalvarez3802]

To make a movie of an iconic BBC TV series was such a challenge, well met. Gary Oldman portraited such a brilliant Smiley in the movie. To develop characters in a movie already done in a BBC telie series, priceless.

[@LittleB2007]

The two best actors from the movie IMO. Well Gary is the lead and always great in everything he does but Mark was a real standout as Prideaux. He has such a depth in his acting, shouldn't be wasted in cliche villain roles

[@Brandon-bh7pj]

This was a excellent interview. Had a few laughs along side them 😊

[@mannymolina9915]

I am proud to say I have never read or seen a Potter POS! So, Mark Strong, don't feel bad. I never imagined a LeCarré could be made better than Sir Alec....until this movie.

[@charleneking7262]

Crush for sure.

[@PANDAPILCH]

Brilliant stuff.....I like how the interviewer just lets them talk and get into discussion with each other.

[@Etherglide]

Great interview. Nice to hear the guys just "chat". And they sound and look so relaxed here that you get more out of it rather than the question and answer interview style. Refreshing.

[@glenda1040]

Two of my favorite actors! These guys are amazing!!! Very under rated, lacking recognition though.. nevertheless their brilliance shows in every rol they play...

[@MTMF.london]

Gary: they had a drink called "nob creak" ... just killed me

[@myfujaccmyfujacc5512]

great job gents, excellent movie!

[@lalitharavindran]

Mark has the best bald look! What a fantastic actor.

[@edtallman7264]

Oldman's an English-language treasure who casts a long shadow on our contemporary cinema. But the only actor on par with the cast of the 1980 BBC production is Mark Strong.. Surprisingly weak was the Oscar winner who plays Karla's mole and the Strong character's best friend since Cambridge days.

[@thorstenglebocki7075]

Although I like Colin Firth in other movies, I have to admit that you made a point.

[@gillri]

awesome interview

[@susanpritchard2477]

susiekurs Sorry I didnt see this sooner. Bloody marvellous.

[@dwightcurrie8316]

Both very strong acting talents with wide ranges of characters that they both bring off as absolutely believable. Also they are seemingly gentle, unassuming, largely amiable blokes who'd be great fun to sit with and have a few Pints

Great content. I'm kinda doing a le Carre deep dive tonight. Sure I'm not alone . RIP JLC.

[@virgorising7388]

It is a credit to the actors that they made an entertaining movie in the face of such a successful series. I like the movie a because of the acting, and it is a great story, especially because it's based on real events.

OMG, Gary's so damn adorable when he laughs. *sighs*

[@buggyboogle9]

I thought Gary was brilliant in TTSS when I watched it a few years ago. Then I watched Smiley and Smiley's People recently and I can understand why he hesitated - Sir Alec Guinness was super brilliant in the role.However, tv allows you to make a stronger establishment. And Gary's right - the new fans only remember your most recent work as with Guinness as Obi Wan Kenobi - they don't know him as Smiley or his earlier work.

[@beatrute2677]

Mark Strong is a fantastic actor. Whenever i see him in a role im spellbound.

[@tomrojas6459]

[@msmudga]

As Mark says he’s played so many villain roles. As I hadn’t read the books prior to watching Tinker Tailor, my immediate thought was that he was the villain again!

[@alanbrody3223]

To me Mark is forever Archie!

[@chozen2157]

Mark Strong : I love the aspect of transformation and dressing up, But its better when your more under the radar because you can get away with that. If you get little better known or people visually recognise you more, then suddenly what you do to yourself becomes more obvious and you cant sneak in and surprise people so much. Gary Oldman : Hold my drink (Goes and plays Winston Churchill in the Darkest our and absolutely nails it so much so wins an Oscar for his role)

[@rastamanrastaman744]

I think that it is very difficult to visualize the Le Carre's novels. Whoever read the novel of TTSS, we have had the personal images about the characters. Before I watched this movie, I had not imagined neither G.Oldman as "Smiley" nor M.Strong as "Prideux". I watched this movie again & again. I understand they did their best. I thank their great efforts. I love this movie.

I think that Gary Oldman is one of the best actor in the world. I was about thirteen or fourteen when I saw him in Air Force One as a Russian Villain so I laugh a little about Tinker. Because I can say that I see him as playing a great Villain with John Le Carrie.
