James Spader Charlie Rose

[@paulsilas9070]

His performance as Raymond Reddington has become one of the greatest by an actor in American TV history.

[@lilianefrizzell214]

Love him

[@jayman1338]

Abdul Jabbar I would agree sir...

[@SuchaDoofus]

Agreed. Jolly and menacing and back to jolly in the same sentence. Usually followed by shooting someone with a contemptive indifference. Love it

[@fritzcat6198]

I agree. Why hasn’t he won an Emmy for best actor in a series for Blacklist? I still watch that show because of James Spader. He’s a BRILLIANT actor!

[@ashwiniyer454]

Raymond Reddington is the only character in the history of television, I believe is on the same scale as Heisenberg from Breaking Bad

[@nikkil764]

His voice is extraordinary. In addition to his superb acting skills, he has a beautiful command of language.

[@annakarewicz4857]

Oh yes, it is a rare pleasure to listen to him speak - his language is rich, elegant, concise, fluent, so unlike most of what you hear nowadays.

James Spader is the most fascinating storyteller ever. I can listen to him for hours.

[@soonsims]

Wow he flat out said he works on tv because it pays more than movies and he wants to keep his expensive life. Like flat out 😂 I was expecting him to say something like "passion" , "i like it" .. but nope. Caught me by surprise. Guess actors really are people too.

[@Ronbo710]

Finally an actor honest enough to say that MONEY matters.

[@loretohidalgo973]

I really like his voice. He soudns so dark and expensive

[@zovalentine7305]

Like fine chocolate!

[@LoveABun]

He and William Shatner on “Boston Legal” were PURE MAGIC. Spader is acting genius; “Boston Legal” brought out all his talents. If you’ve never watched the show, you are truly missing out!

[@millymilly5561]

B.L was amazing,, spader suppose to be making more money and popular than Matt Damon

[@mikegrace940]

you are correct!

James Spader has become the perfect amalgamation of all his characters. He’s intimidating, eloquent, charming, and real.

[@fabienh3943]

Close to Anthony Hopkins in that way.

[@zovalentine7305]

Great comment❗

[@EPK14-e3y]

Has he become them, or has he chosen roles perfect for him. He is not his roles, his roles are him, my friend.

[@Maxx61]

If all Spader had given us for his career was Alan Shore, in my eyes, that would be enough. He was absolutely brilliant in Boston Legal and continues his excellence as RR.

[@0zymanndias773]

This guy will go on to be as one of the greatest actors to ever live. Everyone who works with this dude say he’s a master in his craft. I would love to see a movie in where him and Anthony Hopkins go toe to toe. Both have amazing delivery and make you believe they are THAT character they are representing.

[@arjunratnadev]

his voice is still so absolutely mesmerizing 🤔

[@margeshilling7983]

Truly an underrated actor. His work in "Boston Legal" was outstanding.

[@AT-gi1ge]

I'm glad even though the show wasn't a top 10 James and Shatner got their respect for it.

[@dr.brahmimohamed1687]

Sooooo underrated. This guy is a philosopher.

[@We_Reddit]

It's not pocket change by any means (James Spader gets paid about $125K per episode of The Blacklist, and this is all he does at the moment), but i can't help feel that, compared to other, far less talented actors, Spader is underutilized and underpaid as an actor. Of course actors get paid based on what they negotiated in their contract, but the fact that someone like LL Cool J gets paid the same amount for NCIS, and he's not even the main star in that show, makes my stomach sick.

[@jadefire2817]

Although I think we probably all agree that Mr. Spader is deserving of much higher salaries for the roles he takes, I think it's part of his charm and charisma that he doesn't really seem to care too much about it! If he were some big -name -sellout, I don't think he would take near as interesting of roles, as what he does. Voted the "most eccentric" or"strangest man on television", seems to make him the happiest, and I for one, am glad!

[@terrybigmango2434]

He’s doing it for the art...

[@balamclay7871]

terry bigMango -- No, he literally just said he's doing it for the money. lol

[@jamiepaton9813]

Yeh, and the cast of The Big Bang Theory get paid almost $1,000,000 dollars per episode. And that show is trash

[@paulettefehl5981]

I’ve read that Mr. Spader is now earning about $300,000 per episode...he’s still a bargain at that price.

[@chillspotmkenya]

When he stops for a moment and thinks before he answers those moments remind me so much of Red

[@FlaymeGoddess21]

I shudder at his voice! Its deep and guttural but so poised and articulate

[@luthandolanga7844]

This man's candor is unprecedented. "I work hard to pay for my life, unfortunately".

[@johnquinn586]

Very honest great actor very underated

[@feliciakidd9358]

He was so handsome in Pretty In Pink.

[@gailbarejka77]

My two favorite James films: White Palace and Sex, Lies, and Videotape 🙂

[@jeffjohnson2792]

JS is one of the best actors America has ever produced.

[@Ronbo710]

He's had the same agent forever and should be paid exponentially more because of the Black List. His Raymond Reddington has the potential to be a Break Out role and should be showcased more.

[@christinetilton4562]

I could listen to his voice forever.

The pure act of looking at him is a joy,

[@pamelathomas8291]

I'm so glad he does television now so we can see him weekly

[@strangersound]

James Spader's best role is himself. The Blacklist is an amazing series, though. It's like the point is to break every single moral and ethical rule, but in the context of overwhelmingly justifiable circumstances. Pure nihilism. Definitely great writing and acting.The production values are top notch on par with any motion picture.

[@mtnwriter4011]

What I envy about actors of this grade is their capacity to learn so much material so quickly, and then deliver it so well. It's why I think he stood out so much on Boston Legal. They threw so many lines at him that he handled so well, that he turned into the attorney "everybody wanted." He was the "center" of that series in my opinion.

[@skeeterstanley1272]

[@wrylife57]

I always despised Charlie Rose (yes, even before his darker side came to light) but one thing his show did well was provide the time and atmosphere for good interviews, never rushing or interrupting. This answer by Spader is a great example. I have been a Spader fan as long as I can remember. I think he just keeps getting better.

[@not_enoughmana]

Well thank gawd, he gave us Dr. Jackson in Stargate. I can't imagine anyone else in that role in the film. Michael Shanks did a great job on SG-1, but the film Dr. Jackson is incredibly endearing, unique and special and that's entirely because of Spader. Always a pleasure seeing him act in anything.
