Lee Pace Receives Our Honorary Degree | Vulture Festival 2022

This year, we were honored to have American icon and tall drink of water Lee Pace accept our highest award: Vulture’s Honorary Degree. With a career spanning decades in film, television, and theater, Pace has repeatedly awed us with his warmth, glamor, and home-improvement skills. At this very special event, he sat down with us to discuss his life and career - his Broadway debut in The Normal Heart, reigning over the Woodland Realm in The Hobbit, raising the dead in Pushing Daisies, revolutionizing technology in Halt and Catch Fire, and much more - as we appreciate all that makes him the incomparable Lee Pace. Lee Pace!!

if the Elven King himself says that the elves are real, then they are real

[@kookie_2178]

Absolutely right👌

[@aimkid137]

Si miramos desde la perspectiva de Tolkien cuando dice q son inmortales, entonces deben andar por ahí camuflados con magia elfica

[@vegetachiva]

Hahahaha so cute!

[@Pezpielgames]

​@@aimkid137 ese es el asunto:donde está el rey THRANDUIL que al parecer nunca fue hacia valinor. Acaso está entre Nosotros??. Sospechoso, verdad

[@carseg8135]

Men I would listen him for hours. I love the way he talks wiht hands explaining everything. His voice so calm and tender. He is so shy and the same time has a great personality. His eyes when he talks about his memories. Simply the perfect man!

[@newjnsbby]

He would make such a great James Bond... Can someone please cast him as 007? That would be such a dream

[@cindyj5522]

How refreshing to listen to an actor who can speak about his work, his life and his experiences with intelligence, humility and humor. None of the posturing and vanity that many so-called A-listers demonstrate. Awesome interview!

[@PillowMane]

Lee Pace went to Hot Topic back in the day. That’s all the validation I need.

[@shaunastraney9115]

Lee’s so fascinating to listen to.

[@celesra]

He has a knack for pulling a person in. ;)

[@ariangoleh]

Such a great actor and a very intellectual person

[@helloitsjane6841]

Inside the Actors Studio is no longer running, but this truly felt like an episode of it! Kathryn is a fantastic interviewer; she balances informative questions with deep-dives into Pace's career and never fails to show how much she values his answers. I could literally listen to him discuss Labyrinth, Shakespeare, and Whitman for days. You can tell he respects and knows his craft inside and out, and as a viewer it's clear as day because of the passion he brings to each character he portrays!

[@gentlereader9457]

He is such an empathic person and his face reflects those emotions. he is wonderful to watch and listen to and he cares..he really cares about the people he plays and well he is gorgeous also lol

[@thenerdfaraway]

Ok, that's it. I'm going to find a way to talk to Mr. Pace and it will be for two hours straight about The Fall. Then there needs to be an hour of him reading Whitman.

[@mariannepapapetrou1599]

I need that conversation!! This movie is a masterpiece and he was phenomenal in it

[@aimkid137]

Si un fans logra hace eso, yo me muero

[@TheLonerArtist]

i like the way he talks. He's so amazing :)

[@luckycarolineDC]

Such a nice interview, I love Lee so much. I can’t wait to see the next season of Foundation

[@anacarolmsc]

Labyrinth, yes!!! Me too, Lee! Calpernia and Joe are my favorite characters of his 👏🏼 HACF is one of my favorite shows, it's still criminally unknown, I'm glad it had a proper ending. Hopefully it'll get discovered eventually.

[@Ayasvideos3]

Thank you for the upload! Always a great pleasure to watch Lee Pace and the interviewer did such a good job.

[@illustratormagda]

YES!! Yours is a worthy profession, beautiful dear human being, lovely Lee!!!

[@luvlacali]

He was excellent in a soldier's girl ❤

[@DullAchlys]

why does no one ever ask him to talk about The Fall???

[@csibesz07]

Respect and enjoy the peace.

[@shubhamraj25]

He was sooo good in HACF

[@sanane1811]

I enjoyed this interview soo much! He is so eloquent and obviously so talented!

[@JamRedcat]

I simply loved Halt and Catch Fire!

[@jcny11]

I can TOTALLY see him playing Walt Whitman.

[@annanardo2358]

I'll always see him as Thranduil the Eleven King ! What a hot hot hottie ! 😍😍😍😍😍 A very endearing soft spoken man ! A very impressive man.... I wish him all the best in his acting career !

[@brunna1592]

Ual!!! Eu amo esse ator. Lee se eu puder um dia conhecer você... Você é o meu ídolo. Amo demais!!! Será meu elfo Thranduil para sempre. É um ator muito bom mesmo, super gentil. É muito divertido e uma pessoa incrível!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-rx5zb5tr8y]

Желаю крепкого здоровья и успехов

[@patricksquires6348]

[@aimkid137]

Goblin King Daddy😁😍☺️

[@juleyray1975]

I have just recently viewed THE HOBBIT film series and really enjoyed what seemed a very brief presence of Mr Pace in the films. Like many, I would love to see a reprise of Thranduil role in a film focused on the elves. But please no more ridiculous female roles where they are killing orcs or falling in love, then hysterically making demands of the king while threatening him with a sharp object. I couldn't bear it. In fact it would be fine to have no females featured at all in the film. I don't think Mr. Pace would mind and I know I wouldn't. I just want to look at Thranduil for two or three hours. Now that would be better than great!

[@krishkrish8213]

What do you mean female elves killing orcs? That's what they do, bud.

[@lekarzkto]

His accent creeps me out. I was hoping it was a put on

[@ruksanakabir46]

My big time crush but as usual they have to be gay lol but its not bother me all my exs seem were gay anyway lol A true aries man he is.. humble cute, handsome and unique.. speaks on his mind.. above all a great versatile actor.. just like any aries man he loves art and museum visit

[@annaguerraa]

He is so good. I mean it. Like... mesmerizing! I could 100% be friends with him! So polite and amazing! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥹🥹🥹🥹
