F. Murray Abraham, the Academy Award-winning star of "Amadeus," "Scarface" and the HBO series "The White Lotus," has maintained his six-decade-long career thanks, he says, to possessing both arrogance and humility. He talks with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz about the high school teacher who believed in him; the story behind his stage name; and how winning an Oscar changed the trajectory of his profession (and not necessarily for the better).

His performance of Antonio Salieri in Amadeus is arguably one of the greatest in film history.

Unfortunately, it misrepresented Salieri, a very good composer and teacher who harbored no ill will toward Mozart. Salieri had many students, such as Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt. Salieri was a cosmopolitan composer who wrote operas in three languages. Salieri helped to develop and shape many of the features of operatic compositional vocabulary, and his music was a powerful influence on contemporary composers.

It's one of the very best performances ever recorded. Brilliant, convincing, flawless, impeccable. What is more fascinating, his "old Salieri" sells the notion that he is an old man who has lived for way too long with the guilt and torment.

My personal takeaway from this film is that they used a very powerful human trait of jealousy, which is sadly even more pervasive today,to grab modern audiiences and breathe new life into what was an extraordinary period of musical magic.😁 🎶🎶Play On🎶🎶

I worked with Murray at the Public Theater in NYC in the late 70's. The production was "The Master and Margarita", directed by Andrei Serban. The Murray I see in this interview is the same man as fifty years ago. Murray might've been faking his wisdom a little in those days; but it's all for real now. Bravo Sir!

This man has a 6 decade long acting career and won a Oscar for one of the best performances that I've ever witnessed (which he carriers everywhere) , but he said the luckiest day of his life was meeting his wife Kate. That is incredibly touching testament to the love he feels for his late wife. May she rest in peace.

I believe this as well. However, I have heard him say that, before the movie, everyone who played the Salieri role on stage had won the top acting awards and so he knew going in what a wonderful opportunity it was for any actor. It was an extremely well written character within a fantastic stage/screen play, and performed brilliantly by Abraham.

I will always be a huge fan and sending you so much respect for such an amazing life lived. Condolences to you for your immense loss last year - I can't imagine your sorrow.

I had no idea he had lost his wife recently. May he find peace in knowing he had so much time and love with her.

My family watched Amadeus almost every holiday season. It's one of the few movies where my mom knows all the lines. True story, for years, I had never known how the movie started. We watched it from a VHS tape off of a TV broadcast recording so it was missing the opening scene. After 20 years we got the DVD. Now I know how the servants find Salieri.
