Mark Ruffalo, Colin Firth, Robert Duvall and more Talk the Trials of Acting

[@alvinamarcellia4708]

I'm goin crazy since Mark Ruffalo and Colin Firth on the same frame! the loves of my life!!!

[@christinafrusciante]

I started watching this video for Ryan Gosling, but... my God, Colin Firth is such a gorgeous man!

[@cherylroller957]

Then you would love him in 'Love Actually'. His character is great in that movie.

[@mariannedevera6509]

Colin Firth and Mark Ruffalo OMG i wish they have movies together

[@alvinamarcellia4708]

im crazy for them both too! so glad to know I'm not the only one! lol

[@mariannedevera6509]

Alvina Marcellia lol hahahaha Love them

[@OakiLory]

SAME OMG and if they could bring Jesse Eisenberg too I would be THERE FOR IT.

[@AA-dz9mq]

collin firth is just amazingly articulate and funny

[@nganle-qk1qv]

I wanna see more Colin and Mark together.

[@castinmeadows6956]

I like seeing anyone and Mark together. ;)

[@monster90ish]

Colin and Mark seem to have great chemistry despite the awkwardness of this whole interview. Mark in particular seemed fascinated by the diaries.

[@paolothorpe1461]

Why do you think it was awkward?

[@kathleenharris3403]

I love Robert, I think he is so believable in his roles.

[@osjapa]

Can't believe they released it 10 years ago 😱 Love these roundtables!

[@anybody606]

colin firth is KING!! He was more comfortable in the other newsweek roundtable, I think he's more of a woman's guy!! He's more attuned with himself in the company of women!! I LOVE HIM!!!! Oh my god, and Ry Gos.... can i get some fries with that shake shake booty??

[@speedssk]

Mark and Colin r so damn cute

[@matteojones]

i love at around 51:00 when it's jesse answering the question. all the others look at him and study his behavior. they all look so interested in whats going on with him!

[@brattette]

I can't help laugh/smile/weird-wtf-face when I listen to James Franco. He's so eccentric. He is so gonna be that weird, hippie man when he gets old.

[@fanboydee]

I love how Ruffalo said 'RAH-DING WE SAY RAH-DING' and then said rotting in an English accent of Firth's benefit.

[@hawkspeak8592]

"what makes a great actor?" love that sigh that comes from Duvall, one of the greatest American actors, ever. forget Brando, the man who could breath into fiery life one of our greatest mythic figures, Augustus "Gus" McCrae- that is the man I would want to learn from.

[@bluebeanbaby]

Duvall looks so impressed by Ryan (love). It's nice to see a vet appreciate the company of a young actor. Ruffalo is charming. Franco (love him) scared the shit out of me with the loud talking. Jesse was so nervous, but spoke well enough. He'll hopefully get over that. Firth is swagger in a collared shirt!

[@SDJGreen]

Not the roundest of tables...

[@kxrxlin2061]

SammiiDoogles i don't know why this comment has no likes. That is the best comment ever 😂😂

[@sunnysnod7483]

Why am I just discovering these now, such a great way to learn about the craft, to see actors discussing the process. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the actors experiences and the films they've made and love. I have so many films to check out from these sessions.

[@TheBrainFlow]

Very nice of the Facebook guy (forgot his name) to say the things about the takes. That's very humble of him.

[@poturrate]

Robert- What the fuck's going on? Ryan- Hatin' on James Mark- Buds with Colin Colin- Buds with Mark James- Hatin' on Ryan, Chillin' with diet coke, ON coke, performance ART? Jesse- PLEASE GOD GET ME OUTTA HERE

[@nganle-qk1qv]

When did it happen?

[@Ben-Rogue]

This was so spot on!

[@june057]

there is something truly wrong with james franco but he should be nominated for his performance in this interview

[@khalidamajoud2437]

Bless Duvall, that's all!

[@wendyzeigler597]

I noticed how none of them speak up immediately when a question is presented to all of them.

[@astridcakes]

I love this so much. Jesse's awkardness makes him stick out like a sore thumb. It's the best to watch everyone try not to laugh whenever he speaks.

[@garlagala9056]

Sorry but only Coin Firth is adorable..

[@jasminemorales1710]

i love at around 51:00 when it's jesse answering the question. all the others look at him and study his behavior. they all look so interested in whats going on with him!

[@luhole]

one take. no rehearsals.... that end product. UNBELIEVABLE.

[@enk989]

ahhh.. SO happy I stumbled upon this little gold mine with my two favorite young actors, James Franco and Ryan Gosling!

[@CINTERPOL]

Mr Duvall is so timeless

[@eun-solkim7080]

Wow I just noticed a lot of similarities between Duvall's mannerisms and DeNiro's mannerisms

[@rosh181992]

ryan gosling is down to earth, that refreshing!

[@kingjamie2]

Wow. This must have been one of hte most painful hours of their lives.

[@shashasyedd8858]

What an incredibly good looking table! It is definitely an uncomfortable and personal topic to talk about. Glad rhey decided to.openly discuss it. Its good to see the vulnerablity and uneasiness that makes them human, instead of the superficially poised oscar moments.

[@008theone]

it would be such an honor to be sitting at that table amazing really

[@uncleiroh5061]

That banjo scene in Blue Valentine is eternal.

[@NYironman]

I find it hilarious that Mark Ruffalo and Colin Firth are secretly laughing at Duvall the whole time lol

[@Rithy2105]

NYironman why ?

[@DeniseR.2201]

Colin must win!!

[@piranha5506]

Brando is like the patron saint of actors.

[@malovina]

Oh man, this is from 10 years ago, love it!

[@mustsilm]

Duvall cracks me up

[@chea13]

I'd love to see Gosling in a Fincher movie

[@UnallowedUserName]

I really envy how Jesse is able to say exactly what he wants to say. I think the other actors envy him too. I don't think they expected this mind from Jesse.

[@hellenistic]

I love how Robert Duvall is like "You did how many takes?|""

[@yukino328]

Ryan was stuttering so much. It was so cute. You can tell hes sorta nervous.

[@joshthomas7999]

Where did this "round table" take place? The break room of a Costco somewhere? And the table isn't even round!

[@tonirose6776]

...break room of a Costco. Bahaha

[@nganle-qk1qv]

Colin is so beautiful.

[@xxStephieKxx]

i love that moment when the all crack up laughing when Jesse is talking about takes lol

[@movieluvr69]

Franco: He thought I was stoned Interviewer: Were you? Franco: NO follow up question should've been: Are you stoned now?

[@peachie0keen]

can we all just take a minute to acknowledge Gosling's jacket right now? That is a COOL jacket.

[@AllieBomba]

can we JUST LET ROBERT DUVALL SPEAK??? HES THE LEGEND HERE

[@hawkspeak8592]

absolute but he won't say any of that pretentious sh...that the interviewer is looking for

[@September2004]

41:48 Robert Duvall on Stanley Kubrick

[@usct215]

Anyone notice Ryan's attire that's the reverse of the jacket from Drive and he has a toothpick in his ear, either he came straight from set or he's a super method actor.

[@TigerFrida]

omg the way James looks at Jesse when he speaks

[@Kieranpayne95]

I bet Franco's just sat there staring into Ryan's eyes hahaha!

[@iloveneytiri]

Franco freezes when Firth starts talking! Thought they'd replaced him with a statue. So glad to see the full interviews theres one with day lewis/Jolie/Clooney etc where it cuts off during them talking. Just post the whole fucking thing! Thanks for posting this.

[@StressedDepressedAnxious]

James speaking the first time was the best part of the interview. People say he comes off like he's full of himself but watching the other guys, I was experiencing second hand embarrassment cause they all seemed so uncomfortable. James Franco was the only one who seemed comfortable in his own skin and confident, it was nice and what he said made sense. He also made me laugh, his facial expressions are priceless.

[@andreib77]

hes a dickhead and no one was comfortable sitting with him.

[@Silverice92]

@freaklunchbox You forgot Gosling in that group. Ruffalo looks like the kind of guy that you love to have a beer with.

[@melanieung94]

james franco staring at his diet coke for like 2 min :D

[@mustsilm]

Does anyone else think Franco was kind of trying to impress when he talked about his 127 and James Dean and Milk etc parts, the way he talked looked like he was trying to impress the older actors behind the table.

[@bluesevern]

Jesu, I have heard so much about his being arrogant but here, he really was arrogant so much. Just as he started: "You know I went to the film school......" .... yes, we know, James.

[@Rithy2105]

Yeah because he’s sub par

[@JakeJupiter]

Not really... he just seems like he'd rather be sleeping, or getting high, lol.

[@gonlaura]

Love Ryan Gosling and James Franco! One of the best upcoming actors that eventually will get an Oscar! Still mad that Ryan Gosling wasnt nominated! Blue Valentine was just phenomenal, the way the actors were able to capture the true essence of love and falling out of love. ps Jesse makes everyone pay close attention lol idk for good or bad either way hes nerdy cute

[@kengreenwood7583]

I worked briefly along side Ryan on Young Hercules as a body double, he seems to be less arrogant with age, and a good actor.

[@davidcollins9799]

Is Ryan wearing the Drive jacket?

[@DocAimster]

Robert Duvall is fantastic!

[@ccmovies12]

Jesse reminds me of Martin Scorsese...the way he talks. Interviewer: "Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla? What about you Robert?" Duvall: "What was the question again?" hahaha...James laughs at him! This is a strange mix of people

[@michele2161]

Interesting watching these actors. I'm not an actor. What I observed is that they are all deep listeners and observers.

[@peachie0keen]

you can tell your own story a million different ways...that's wonderful!

[@aroim0]

I want to give Jesse a hug and tell him it's going to be okay.

[@usernamemaybe]

strange interview, a very sleepy pace, they all seem very tired especially James. I didn't know about the negative perception of theatre actors in LA. Jesse sounds so nervous haha aww bless him :)

[@maruor1177]

Colín and Mark ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Bellarubia18]

I disagree. I thought Ryan showed great respect for Duvall. He didn't hide his laughing at Duvall's gruff remarks; some of the others were doing that behind his back, seemingly. I think Franco seemed hostile towards almost everybody. Mark just thought everyone was hysterical, for some reason. I imagine no one was really being themselves; they knew their reactions to eachother were being closely filmed. Must have been uncomfortable.

[@movieholic-92]

This was incredibly awkward...

[@longmemory1620]

Sharane Alvarez Franco was rude to Firth

[@movieholic-92]

BRAD PITT I agree. He was pretty rude and arrogant in general.

[@longmemory1620]

Sharane Alvarez i love his performance in 'The Iceman'

[@arimax888]

omg, cringe!! I stopped watching when that interviewer asked about 'what makes a great actor' @ 14:00 !!!

[@2hopskipjump2]

Creep Factor 10 - When he's asked to repeat his question to Gosling and then takes on an annoyed tone, I could have punched the screen. I don't even rate Gosling all that much but that was so rude. Thank god they got rid of him!

[@movieholic-92]

I

[@misserinmarie]

thank you so much for posting this! any chance you could upload the full video for the actresses roundtable? pretty please?

[@sleeper9]

I loved this. All these actors I love! AMAZING!

[@Silverice92]

@Lerax429 I guess you don't get David Fincher's method. If you listen to Mark's comment, you would of realize that he did that for all of his films. David wants to see different ways that you can deliver a single line and he tends to do 50 takes to get that. In those 50 takes, he would of choose one. But that doesn't mean it took Jesse 50 takes to perfect it. It just mean that this David Fincher's method of directing a film.

[@tadhglattimore2439]

exactly im glad we could reach an agreement

[@luannaaaaa]

I'm so happy for Jesse

[@Fintanflaherty]

Gosling in full driver mode.

[@emmalouise55555]

@Lerax429 Yes I'm serious! That’s why I said it. Whether it was a realistic portrayal of Zuckerberg or not...it was some seriously great acting and his performance made the movie! I fully agree that Franco carried 127 hours himself and I would love to see him rewarded for it. I think both performances were great though and both deserve to win.

[@petewasbristol]

35.33 - Jesse talks about licking his lips. Franco does a quick lick of his lips...

[@lsh157]

i was looking at james the whole time when jesse is talking. LOL!

[@Scriptease123]

The British interviewer needs to remember it's not about HIM.

[@SrQueque]

Man, the interviewer is actually good. The thing is actors don't really like talking about their career and the way they approach acting and so on. But I'm not blaiming them. It's a hard job, to interview actors.

[@iloveneytiri]

Anyone know if the directors one is up yet? If so please post me a link! Thank you.

[@luhole]

the room looks so much nicer when the women are interviewed

[@myheartraterapid]

This was pretty interesting although I have to agree that the interviewers weren't too great... Also, i thought it was pretty disrespectful when they just brushed off Jesse's comments and laughed at him, he was so nervous :-( poor thing. I really hopes he wins an Oscar, he sure as hell deserves it!

[@tab1990]

What's with the camera going off all the time? Is that really necessary, it is on video.

[@fluffytiger]

don't like the boardroom meeting style. its cold!

[@KulaAShaker]

40:34 hilarious..james expression priceless

[@anybody606]

@Bellarubia18 Agreed... I thought I was the only one witnessing this, but thank God you pointed it out!! It was such a tense hour or so... The questions asked could have had great potential, but were renderred dull by the apprehension towards them and towards each other!! Franco was bitch-eyeing Gosling... Duvall was direct, Jesse was nervous, Colin seemed uncomfortable, Ruffalo was looking away everytime Franco spoke... Gosling and Ruffalo were mean-girling.... EPIC FAIL

[@iodreamer]

Could someone please tell me what Colin Firth says at 57:17 in the interview? "I've been ..????... for a while."

[@davedeville6540]

“I’d be in purgatory for awhile…” Yes, I realise it’s 10 years later 😀

[@springchken]

MR. DARCY!

[@jps19994]

That roundtable looks a little rectangular, don’t ya think?

[@iWhisPerYouSleep]

James Franco has a really awkward death stare in the beginning lol

[@glendaaaax3]

I loved Jesse Eisenberg in this. He's very organic, no matter the stuttering or perhaps time it takes to arc his thoughts, he's very honest. And humble. Ryan seems very humble too, and though I LOVE James Franco, when answering the question about fighting for roles, he does seem a bit conceited. I don't think he meant to sound that way, but maybe he's gotten a bit ahead of himself.

[@jdkjkjdkjdks]

Please upload the directors, or the actresses? either way is nice but I would be more grateful if you uploaded the directors.

[@edamamebb]

The moderator on the left is so annoying. He just won't let go with questions like "the best", "the worst", or that one moment. Colin's already told him many times that you can't single one thing out. Can't you ask something more worth while?

[@Silverice92]

@megcastro93 Haha, James is awesome. He seems to be very lay back. Duvall is just most experienced out of everyone in the group.

[@XsweetstarliteX]

can you but up the full version of the actresses roundtable too? neglection...

[@KulaAShaker]

hahaha..whatever jesse says turns unintentionally into something hilarious 040:34 and 52:08 - 53:08 is hilarious..watching him trying to construct a sentence is a fucking experience. lol

[@MASTERmonk83]

They are all so high except Robert Duvall and Colin Firth, especially Ros Gos, he can barely look at anyone, they all avoid eye contact lol

[@eorrific]

@iodreamer I think he said "I've been purgatory for a while".
