Mandy Patinkin on the "Princess Bride" legacy in Studio Q

www.cbc.ca/Q
The man known best to some as Inigo Montoya reflects on the enduring legacy of Rob Reiner's comedic fantasy "The Princess Bride".

My sisters Lisa, Michelle and myself first met Mandy in November of 1985, after a concert in Toronto. We couldn't afford the show, and he kindly arranged for us to see his show the next day. He had me help lift Michelle (she was disabled) on the stage afterwards and sang Sondheim's "Children Will Listen" to her. We saw him a few times after that and I wish I could tell him that Michelle's now gone. I'll never forget his incredible generosity!!!!

[@BSBArmy98]

Mandy Pantinkin is a national treasure, damnit. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💜

[@castertroy6347]

What a great guy! I hope to see him in something so special as the Princess Bride again one day. And for bringing us the Inigo Montoya we all love so much, thank you Mandy.

Mandy Patinkin elevates his entire profession. I find myself hesitant to say he is an actor or entertainer because of the flotsam out there. Insightful and humble, why can't more in the industry be like him.

[@hanagloriaedelblum5693]

Great actor, singer, person. A true mensch.

[@chefuemaricon]

l'm so glad l got to see it in the theaters, and now l own the DVD :) He sound like an awesome person, and he's a wonderful actor too. They really did do the sword fighting themselves, which made the movie even more amazing.

[@heartofsouth]

Just dawned on me that he played Jason Gideon on Criminal Minds and I knew him as Inigo Montoya and both are my faves....WOW...I remember watching this movie as a kid and as a adult The Princess Bride is still my fave. My daughter even loves it.

[@mjfamula]

"I live 99% of my life in an imagined reality." Wow, that resonates. I feel like there are so many people who could describe themselves that way, but would never think to express it that way.

[@mtngrammy6953]

And no wonder this movie is loved by everyone! Because everyone is trying to find their own true love. This movie will last forever. Thanks, Mandy (and Robb and the rest of the totally amazing cast!!!).

[@gatordwarf]

What a beautiful soul, and an incredible actor. Loved him in "Dead Like Me."

[@memsahibproductions]

What a beautiful soul as well as a talented actor

[@HufftownGirl]

[@truthiz]

Amazing acting performance, character and film. I salute you. Inspired my latest upload... Inigo Montoya.

[@DoctorDoggmatic]

so glad to see more of this interview. I listened to the whole thing yesterday. Mandy is the most inspiring person to listen to....and the interviewer compliments him perfectly.

[@bakilacat1]

Beautiful last 2 minutes!!!!!

[@77greenmama]

My 14 yr old asked, “Why is Inigo speaking with an American accent?!?!?” 😂❤ She was so bewildered. That’s how deep it goes for us.

[@blackmarketlightbulbs6321]

Uhhh! What a beautiful interview~ :)

[@charlychips]

I love Mandy Patinkin.

[@donross2902]

he was the best part of Dead Like Me.

[@mrblisterfist]

Mandy does an incredible, over the top version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". First heard it on Letterman many years ago. Maybe it's on KZbin?

[@khfan4life23]

[@chrislance3380]

"I have been in the revenge business for so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do next?" ;)

[@downhill240]

Holla! I am Inigo Montoya, you killed my father! Prepare to die! Greatest part ever. As I've grown older I have become aware of how impactful film has been on my life. This is one of the best ever!

[@magus721]

LOL it was an hours worth in my car...and I missed the end! Only reason I got sirius was to listen to cbc no matter where I'm at.

[@MrJawstherevenge87]

His story in the movie is my favorite. A troubled guy tryimg to do the right thing

[@samanthamcgahan2066]

I understand why Mandy left "Criminal Minds" ... a gentle soul ...

[@1glopz]

Unbeknown to him he is the consume actor

[@williamnelson727]

I DO remember thinking; ( wait, Hollywood is NEVER THIS good.) ~i was wrong THEN, too.

[@headlessviolin]

What a lovely laugh in the morning sorry mandy I can't vote as I'm in the uk but it's so important for you to all vote in the uk I can't understand why people would vote for mr trump from a distance it's hard to imagine putting up with such a cold heart in charge of your country. Much love chris xx

[@c3dmf4s]

Why did it take the post 1 minute to ask a 10 second question.. jesus....

[@georgerodgerson4190]

I read he’s very difficult on set?

[@williamnelson727]

BACKSTORY, anyone? The author of the BOOK, Wm. Goldman is a TRAGIC figure. His own childhood was a DISASTER. (he'll say so). THIS story was his ESCAPE from childhood, the one he TRULY wanted. THERE's the story about the story. Mandy P. is an affirmation of Goldman's DREAM~fantasy.

[@cathygould]

Thank you, yes! I'd read Goldman's books all my life, and learned about his life, too.

[@magus721]

Ok quit messing around and post the whole hour interview!!!!!!

[@officialmichaelcarrasco]

Mandy playing another Spanish man... 🙄

[@CathyB58]

Provocative way of thinking.
