Greg Kinnear Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

[@camilla8029]

Little Miss Sunshine is one of my all time faves. I remember crying watching the super freak scene for the first time.

[@kimidanger1150]

Such a genuine dude and how did I not realize how many classics he's in? Also hes still a dreamboat.

[@llathem2212]

He’s a total dreamboat and I’m sure he has no idea.

[@Michlandir]

Can’t say enough good stuff about GK. Like Sam Rockwell, just an amazing talent that seems to fly under the radar somehow.

[@nicemimomisu]

I do understand the sentiment and you are not wrong but at least Sam Rockwell won an Oscar last year (finally)...

[@FreakieFan]

Sam Rockwell has an Oscar... But I know what you mean

[@IOAFan]

Greg Kinnear does have an Oscar nomination, but that was a long time ago.

[@princessbright333]

Little Miss Sunshine -- one of my all time favorite movies!

[@Merilm26]

No kidding mine too !!!!!!!! 🥹

[@kenneld]

ONe of the most underrated actors out there.

[@Lubbylove89]

Little Miss Sunshine is such a good film!! One of my absolute faves.

[@Liz86000]

He should have won an Oscar already, he's always great.

[@deadbeatbadger4092]

Little Miss Sunshine is my go to feel good/comfort movie. No matter how many times I watch it I always laugh and cry like the first time I saw it.

[@IOAFan]

I've liked Greg Kinnear in every movie of his that I've seen. He always seems so natural, regardless of the role he's playing. I'm disappointed that he didn't discuss his role in The Kennedys mini-series. Playing JFK doesn't qualify as an iconic character?!?! There have been many actors who've played Jack Kennedy. I think Kinnear's performance is the best one I've ever seen. I wish he'd talked about it.

[@OneFlewOverTheCuckoo1999]

IOAFan I haven’t seen him playing JFK, but nobody can beat Daniel Day-Lewis’ Abraham Lincoln.

[@flala2261]

*I thought he was Great as **_JFK_** too!* They made him *look* so much like him too, in that series. *Especially* his *hairstyle*

I always admired Greg Kinnear as an actor. He always brought a native intelligence to each role he played. As I hear him speak about his career, he seems so unlike the self-assured persona I've come to expect.

[@MsVorpalBlade]

He plays the doofus so well, it's amazing to see how cool and funny he really is! Extremely underrated actor

[@edabakb]

Why does this have such low views? People don't appreciate talent anymore.

[@Irene-bu9wu]

I have a crush on him

[@jameslang3852]

They should've mentioned Stuck In Love (a very well acted dramedy with arguably one of his best performances) and Mystery Team as Captain Amazing (as a narcissistic self aware superhero).

[@shanek3453]

Little miss sunshine is such a beautiful film, totally accurate representation of a real family dynamic.

[@wacokid30]

Completely underrated Actor. He was Captain Amazing for god sakes.

[@Keezie27]

Greg is underrated. Great actor.

[@positivetimeline]

Our favorite actor. He is so versatile and adorable! He can play any role. We love him in Little Miss Sunshine. I saw that movie many times.

[@emmagsfa]

Anyone else love his voice? So soothing

[@elizabethcunicelli7023]

He played John Kennedy in the mini series The Kennedys perfectly.

[@Chef_PC]

He forgot his most memorable role - Captain Amazing on Mystery Men.

[@TheKobolos]

THIS ^^^^^^^

This is why I came, so disappointed.

[@jordanm563]

I watched the whole thing waiting for him to get to that one. :(

This comment saved me watching this video

[@OneFlewOverTheCuckoo1999]

I loved Greg Kinnear in As Good As It Gets.

[@TheCusita93]

This video should have way more views than 500. Such an underrated actor, what a shame. I remember watching Little Miss Sunshine at a friends house when I was 13 and just loving it, loving the acting and the story and being in awe of how good a film could be.

[@IanDoesMagic]

Oh. I loved Greg Kinnear because he's just delightful. That makes sense.

[@Mike-hj7gg]

gotta love mr kinnear, great actor, quite underrated... seems like a legit nice guy aswell.

[@Biboche23]

This man is talented! Just love the guy and his films

[@belualurralde440]

Little miss sunshine is a master piece

[@PNesssmol]

He looks like what McKauley Culkin should have ended up looking like as an adult.

[@CaroleMcDonnell]

He was so good in "The Gift"

[@sanedcab1Mexico]

I loved Greg Kinnear since he was in "Talk Soup!"

[@tiffsaver]

One of the best films I've ever seen was called "The Matador," starring Pierce Brosnan and a superb (and terribly underrated) Greg Kinnear. If you haven't watched it yet, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!!! For me, this little known gem was the best picture of the year, with many independents like this one missing out completely. *Show your support.*

[@monkfish2001]

Matador is a really great movie, much much better than Little Miss Sunshine.

[@tiffsaver]

@@monkfish2001 LMS was pure cinematic DREK. People have very low expectations.

[@Blondie727]

He’s one of my favorite actors, Mr. Kinnear is so talented & seems genuine but for some reason, he never became an a-lister like he deserves. “Auto Focus” & his role as Simon in SGTG are my favorite of his. I thought “Stuck On You” was an oddly funny movie too. I’m very surprised he didn’t mention his role as JFK? :/ Oh, and he’s quite good looking.😏

[@katherinesaunders05]

I so wanted him to speak about Stuck In Love..... Will always be one of my favorite movies

[@liamrands3364]

Greg Kinnear is great in everything he has ever done

[@LoganWood121]

So proud to see so many Mystery Men fans here. How sad they don't mention it here.

[@djdedeo0]

Dude is the textbook definition of underrated acters. I think he's one of the greats

[@rainbowbunniie]

They should have talked about The Gift. One of his best roles.

[@beachfan1278]

He’s a really good actor. I’m suprised his career didn’t soar high after As Good As It Gets.

[@tjCAUk]

one of the best, such a charming person

[@dherman0001]

I wrote a film script with Greg in mind as the lead. A contemporary survival/love story with a historical epic backstory. His ability to convey emotion is among the best of the best. Im still sitting on it, ready for submission.

[@rossdiamondthief6627]

As Good As It Gets is still the greatest film ever made

[@AdamAlkishawi]

I watched As good as it gets so many times because I had the biggest crush on Greg Kinnear, he is still as handsome as he always was.

[@trh4982]

I love Sabrina and You've Got Mail. I try to watch them, as much as I can get.

[@vikramkoppikar4677]

Oh yes!!!

[@palak22]

I accidentally watched a few of his movies within a month (wasn't familiar with him before) and then I watched Black Bird. So, safe to say I'm now obsessed with him and will probably watch a lot of his stuff.

He did a movie called “flash of genius“. It’s about the true story of the guy who invented the first intermittent windshield wiper. I know it sounds lame, but he’s great in it. Try to find it somewhere on Netflix maybe periodically.
