Mark Rylance offers some advice when he wins the 2008 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play for Boeing-Boeing. He's actually reciting "The Back Country" by prose poet Louis Jenkins.

bizarrely this is a comment by the actual musician ariana grande - who now of course has worked with sir mark on the film “don’t look up”! who would have thought their connection goes back this far?

I 've watched a lot of award shows in my life and I think that was the single best acceptance speech I've ever heard. Astute, entertaining..... downright informative!

Rylance is brilliant. He did this at the Drama Desk (with Louis Jenkins's 'Confessional Poem'), so I was hoping fervently he'd win again and do this again. I love the anticipatory laughter before he starts speaking, obviously from those who knew what to expect! Thank you so much for putting this online! :D

Having just seen Rylance do this very same poem in the play Nice Fish at the ART in Cambridge this week (coming soon to NYC!) I did quite a double take at seeing this! I remember now watching him do this acceptance speech in 2008 and being entirely baffled so it's pretty funny to finally get the joke 8 years later!!!

It's funny the strange things you read on IMDBs trivia pages. I was watching Ready Player One, got curious and ended up here. High caliber actors have a way of standing out, doesn't seem to matter what role this guy plays, he's always brilliant.

Mary McCormack's reaction to his speech is priceless. and until i typed his name into youtube, i didn't make the connection that he was in Angels and Insects. BRILL MOVIE, BRILL ACTOR!!!!! see this movie, but not with a sibling (like i did).

how come he has an american accent when in america and a british one when he's here? I chatted him in my park the other day when walking my dog
@flannerymonaghan-morrs47406 жыл бұрын
dav well he grew up in the states from age 2 to 18, so the accent is actually genuine. He only does the accent when reciting poems or starring in an American role otherwise in interviews he keeps his accent....I like that it’s not posh sounding though.
@patrickbyrne5070 Жыл бұрын
@@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740you can hear both… accents rub off…. Many years of being raised by American tv/film and having American GFs I find myself sounding bit American occasionally. All that time, the formative years so to speak, def will have an effect. But it’s almost an American accent inside a British one… it’s interesting
