Some of our celebrity clients were rude or arrogant or demanding, but he was polite and pleasant. He carried himself much like you see here.

[@Trepanation21]

I really, really love seeing these incredible longtime veterans have such spirit and energy for their young counterparts.

It shows why it’s stupid to dismiss and reduce casting choices to “woke” It’s simply inclusion and different fulgurite’s have different cadences and that’s my favorite part about acting. It’s interesting when someone delivers a line in a manner that you’ve NEVER heard before them.

I love Bella talking about feedback online being a "if I don't see it, it doesn't exist," and then cut to Christina Ricci doing a big sister, "yes, and you keep doing that," nod towards them from across the table! So sweet. And what a stacked table!! For the immense talent represented, it was refreshing to see how supportive everyone was to each other's experiences.

[@xamalion7334]

Christina is horrified about what she went through being a kid in Hollywood and how brutal it could be even without social media. So she recognizes how hard it must be to have zero privacy. I guess the only way is to disconnect and ignore everything.

[@falltowinter]

@@xamalion7334 exactly - and she saw how brutal the internet could be to celebrities before anyone could've really anticipated it. The internet only started to be widely used (especially by predatory paparazzi) when Christina was around the same age that Bella was when Bella started Game of Thrones. Christina's compassion towards younger actors was hard earned but still really refreshing. Some people just shrug and say, "I survived it, what are you whining about." I love that Christina's heart didn't harden like that.

[@Entertainment-os4ig]

Well said. I feel the same

[@lukasribin4168]

Too bad that’s not how it works and the world will never let certain people remain ignorant to their superficial standing…plus tbh Christina has no clue what it’s like to get the type of appearance based backlash that Bella received, so it comes off as a little disingenuous and condescending, even if she meant well. Christina mostly gets the exact opposite commentary (people saying she is unique and beautiful looking versus “weird & unattractive” like Bella is told). Also poor Bella already admitted that she saw the horrible things that were said about her online..so even if she doesn’t look, she can imagine. I’m sure there’s people who say things to her IRL as well, but she might just be more sheltered than most non-famous young people who could relate to her.

[@m.7484]

It actually hurt me that Bella saw all the shit people were saying when they were casted. Like of course they did, they were on social media, but to hear Bella acknowledge it is just so sad. People can be so cruel. Bella has all of Ellie’s characteristics (young looking, brown hair, white) so then not having the exact same bone structure is an absolutely insane thing to be upset about. And look at what an awesome performance they gave. It was Emmy worthy, although I’m still rooting for Rhea Seehorn this time around. With succession and better call Saul out of the way for season 2 and 3, I can see them getting it for sure.

[@meghanmonroe]

And yet when the comparison happens in the final episode between Ashley and Bella as Anna and Ellie, respectively, I think the resemblance is uncanny.

[@cjtrules1]

Funny how the characteristics you list are all nonessential for someone playing someone else. Gender and race swaps happen ALL THE TIME and when they work it is because that individual has the intangible traits. Is it important to still try and get someone who looks physically similar? Sure, but there are other things that can make or break a character too. I found Bella's acknowledgement of seeing the online reception of their casting very humanizing. Unless you are well into adulthood, you are most likely connected in some way online and I think it is inevitable to see comments about yourself.

[@folkzombie3248]

Exactly, bella did an amazing job I wouldn't trade her for the world

[@LordLOC]

Yeah, except now they will have to deal with the absolute deluge of hate when season 2 rolls around and "the" thing happens. Even though they have nothing to do with that. I've already seen some of the, let's say "hater channels" as I call them, trying to stir up their communities in a frothy rage against a certain casting for a certain character (who will almost certainly get tons of hate online for that character, ugh). I hate the internet sometimes.

‘One of the greatest actors of all time’!? Where on earth do you get the evidence for this? JS is a fine actor but you seem to have bought into his self-serious ‘I, the great actor’ schtick. He delivers a very plausible account of Kendall Roy’s manic-depressive personality, but how many lead roles has he played besides that; has he tackled the great classical theatrical roles on Broadway or the West End? He may become one of the greats but so far he hasn’t had the track-record and it is far too early to tell.

[@pahvi3]

​@@johnricercato740Chill, life isn't a meritocracy

[@lexiebrent7090]

@@johnricercato740 Firstly, the original poster prefaced their statement with "I think," meaning it's just their opinion that Jeremy Strong is one of the greatest actors and they recognize that. Secondly, nobody is trying to claim he's "one of the greats" - they're just saying that he IS great, schtick or no schtick. The idea that an actor has to tackle the "great classical theatrical roles" on big stages like Bway and the West End to prove that they're talented is an antiquated way to judge a great actor. Don't get me wrong, I love classical theatre and acknowledge the complexity of those legendary roles, but if we're talking about acting as an artistic skill and not just someone whose name will go down in history as "one of the greats," Jeremy Strong will never need to play one of those roles. I think he already has, through Kendall Roy. He portrayed Kendall with an emotional depth that is larger-than-life yet undeniably real and natural, which is the impossible task of every classical actor when they get onstage. With Succession's endless Shakespearean qualities, who's to say that Kendall Roy isn't up there with the famous theatrical characters, tragic heroes, and morally complex figures just because it hasn't been written into history yet? I honestly don't know what to make of his "schtick," but it's worth noting that, in this interview in particular, he's very open about how challenging acting is and despite his seriousness, he's not trying to seem like some great actor. Sorry for the paragraph, I see where you're coming from and respect your opinion, just wanted to share a counter-argument.

@@lexiebrent7090 Not sure whether you read the post I was responding to? ‘I think he is one of the greats’ as the OP had id sounds rather like ‘trying to claim he is one of the greats’! Secondly, I didn’t cite merely the great classical roles, but referred to leading roles generally. He just hasn’t as yet the track-record to be considered great - and however well he played KR (and he did an excellent job) the role was far simpler than you appear to realise. It was essentially: Kendall is on the up, gets hubristic, falls down and into depression, rises up again.(Repeat ad infinitum) It wasn’t as complex a role as that of Tom, and nor did it require the sheer power that the role of Logan demanded.

Shame on anyone that makes them feel like they don’t “fit” the role.

[@Laurel_Ellenstreet]

The writing and editing of the show let the audience bond with Ellie along the same progression that Joel does. First the toughness, then the smarts, then some moments of wonder in episode two, then some brilliant stuff at the end of episode 3 starting to show real range and depth. (Note Ellie's demeanor while she waits for Joel to make his decision about her after arriving at Bill and Frank's. Making herself as unobtrusive as possible, actually obeying his "stay here" for once, moderating her tone, mimicking his "I can't believe I'm doing this but OK let's get to work" exhale - she's not perfect at reading Joel but she's well on her way for knowing him only about 48 hours.)

When Bella was talking about the fan backlash when they were cast as Ellie, I was hoping Sir Patrick would chime in after to talk about the fan backlash he and the TNG crew received back when they were announced. Because there was a _lot_ of it, even without the internet or modern social media.

Excellent. The Ellie joke at the end by Bella is amazing. I love that one too.

[@ghfun1]

Wow what a great group of great actors from all ages. This is amazing

[@TheBookOfSammy]

So informative and a great panel of different backgrounds. LOVE Helen Mirren btw. I feel like she’s so underrated, oddly.

[@TheBrainFlow]

I could watch 2 more hours of this. EASY. Great moderator as well.

[@odz8108]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Great conversation to watch although i would have loved a little bit of insight between Patrick Stewart and Helen Mirren both of them being well accomplished stage actors and the upbringing Diego Luna had since childhood in theater. 😊

[@jamesbatcho]

Christina Ricci is the best thing about Yellowjackets. What an odd and compelling sociopath Misty is.

[@penoyer79]

her younger counter part is every bit as captivating (IE that scene where she talks Ben off the edge...). that entire cast is loaded with powerhouses

[@Laurel_Ellenstreet]

Misty HAS been my least favorite - for storyline reasons, not actor reasons. But whoa did the latest season finale turn that around. The last moment with Walter had me really intrigued and Christina (and Elijah) just turned on a dime. Will they be as "ride or die" as Jeff is with Shauna? Great work by Christina.

[@penoyer79]

​@@Laurel_Ellenstreet i just wish the adult storyline was as captivating as the wilderness stuff. it's not even close. but it should get better now that the lame adam martin storyline is done.

[@slonmish]

@@Laurel_Ellenstreet sure, Walter is Misty’s soulmate, no question there. they match each other’s everything

[@notforone]

Will you do a showrunners roundtable too? What I'm really asking is will we be able to see Bill Hader in one of these this year 😃

[@moneykenny119]

Bill and Glover would be great

[@Kameleonic]

They are all fantastic, but you know it's the writing and direction that really facilitates the greatness in the actors.

[@tinuninus26]

omg yes!! Diego Luna watching Flight of the Conchords to relax ahaha love that

[@freyna]

Beautiful conversations as always

[@quinn___6262]

I love the way Christina was listening so carefully to Bella, it was so sweet

[@user-it4zl2bv2m]

Helen Mirren’s favorite movie being Dodgeball is my new favorite thing ever.

[@KristineMaitland]

Saw Sir Patrick and Sir Ian in Waiting for Godot in London in 2009. Brilliant.

[@pandycious]

Warms ny heart that Diego & Gael are still so close all these years later.

[@LeezPgh]

Now that is a special group of humans. And Patrick Stewart is a gift to humanity.

[@DiceLong]

When the 1923 popped up under Helen Mirren, for a second I thought it was her birth year so we would have context for everyones age lol

[@gzzuss]

Patrick taking control of the show in the beginning 😅 such a legend

[@carlyhope]

What a beautiful round table. And I would love to see Christina work with Devon Sawa again.

[@bridgethaines7127]

My entire life has been validated by Dame Helen Mirren also having to watch Dodgeball whenever it's on.

[@me622]

Only here for Bella😭😭

[@sidarthavillargarcia2154]

OMG! What a interesting group of People and actors gathered. All so interesting
