Patrick Stewart & Thomas Middleditch | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

Patrick Stewart and Thomas Middleditch: a nerd match made in heaven. The two talked about “Star Trek,” “Silicon Valley” and even played a game of “F-, Marry, Kill” during Variety and PBS’ “Actors on Actors.”

[@decoydamsel]

I'm so happy to live in a time where I get to watch Thomas Middleditch explain Fuck, Marry, Kill to Sir Patrick Stewart.

[@HungarianMafioso]

I love how Patrick Stewart talks over Thomas while he's emoting genuine confusion about Patrick snorting real cocaine @ 16:38

[@usernameisjackie]

These too are so lovely. I would kill to see them work together on a show.

[@satellite964]

These to need to make a buddy movie.

[@zerchariahalighieri8288]

Don't give in. You're a really charming guy.

[@davidkartwright9003]

protestant monasteries? what do they do there; raise money for israel?

[@br00t4lbreakdownzfuk]

I love that you can ask Patrick an inane question like "do you have a middle name?" and you'll still end up with a great answer.

[@formoftherapy]

What I love is that these are the most unlikely pair but they're actually friends!

[@kaitlynlaine4018]

agreed!!

[@Nairuulagch]

Finally father and son reunited.

Have you seen Thomas' impression of Stewart... it amazing.

[@fudgemccallister3178]

I love it how Thomas constantly makes little outrageous quips at what Stewart is saying and Stewart just never reacts to them.

[@Theomite]

To be fair, I'm not sure he can hear them all. He is getting old.

[@naryrokobs1847]

Its because they are good friends. They hang out all the time

[@abusepotential7071]

I was wondering if Stewart was missing some of the jokes -- but there's a nice little moment toward the end when they cut back to Stewart after one of Thomas's quips and you see him quietly giggling. It's clear he finds Thomas funny.

[@infowazz]

stewart is classy

[@terrynicholls2975]

How are some people missing the way two guys with wit and respect for each other enjoy playful ironic banter? Stewart misses nothing. He just lobs the ball back whence it came, and it’s all it great fun.

[@6663000]

I love how they speak like peers despite a 40+ year age difference.

[@infowazz]

dude they are not even close to the same page

[@HaikuBanter]

They are peers of sorts. They perform together in an improvised Shakespeare in LA.

@@superstygian3751 not one of my best moments

[@PathosConsultingGroup]

silicon valley is the best comedy running and middleditch is still totally underutilized as a neurotic straight-man character. he's cut from the same cloth as jim carrey i think, in the sense that middleditch could pull off something broad and hammy but with an underlying intelligence. that's why he gets along so well with conan. he'd do well opposite steve martin as well.

[@pcapusso]

yes, a million times times. i think the same thing!

[@busessuck1]

The show really doesn't know what to do with Middleditch's character, he's always bumbling, complaining and demanding things it's not nearly as good or funny as it can be.

[@fetB]

room for improvement

[@qweqwe371]

Could you give an example?

[@christophertransfield4253]

DOOBS.

[@pcapusso]

these two should do a podcast, or at least be on comedy bang bang together

[@jjyt28]

Let's start a petition #PatStewonCBB

[@pcapusso]

LET'S DO THIS

[@jeghaterdegforfaen]

At the very least, P-Stew should have a guest appearance on Silicon Valley.

[@pcapusso]

AT LEAST!

[@R0ndras]

they do improv shows togheter

I could never be sarcastic in the presence of Sir Patrick Stewart.

PStew should so make an appearance on Silicon Valley as a venture capitalist or something.

[@peterziegler6359]

had the same thought

[@joshuarogers2185]

Aw.. reading this 3 years later, imagining your disappointment. :(

[@jordanrioscreations]

"It's a beautiful name." "Some say the best." lol

[@blueshattrick]

"Some people are saying, it's the best. Yuge!"

[@w.antenbring8168]

As soon as he said about the Star Trek I knew Tom would say he'd never heard of it.

[@Nalianna]

Tom makes me so sad for not knowing it ;(

[@fetB]

he knows about it... The reason TheBooceOfBungles said he knew it, because thats Thomas' stick; it's his type of humor. TGN was pretty successful

[@luf4rall]

he's joking

[@Mike-hj7gg]

these two have greeeat chemistry? i didnt see that coming really...

[@thefatman69dude]

They are actually good friends in real life. Which is kind of awesome

[@mercyxmutual]

Thomas middleditch explaining fuck marry kill to patrick stewart will be the thing to get me through the rest of the day

[@vaahtobileet]

11:25 talking seriously about his chaotic and scary childhood then CUT TO him getting whipped as an old man was pretty funny

[@Rav3nCain]

Ayyy these dudes are both cool, should be a cool episode.

[@SchalaKid]

Instant fan of Middleditch...this guy is just naturally hilarious!

[@noahwright4356]

SchalaZeal Middleditch it's such an amazing impressive comedic actor I would heavily suggest watching anything he is in especially silicon valley if you've never given it a try Thomas plays his role so perfectly you would think he is like Richard in real life

[@infowazz]

i'm the opposite but will try Silicon Valley

[@robertoswald1112]

Didn’t age well…

[@adamcharming]

The Mayan story was very Jean Luke Piccard though, traveling around ruins and fantasising about what games they used to play

[@jamesfreedom123]

Is he wearing Pied Piper socks

[@thefatman69dude]

Lol he totally is. I saw that too lmao

[@SarahExpereinceRequiem]

Fully functional and programmed in multiple techniques. ;)

[@thecanucklehead3034]

*mentions TNG "Oh ive never heard of that show" "Its a rather small and specialized audience"

[@m3tasc0ut]

God I love Patrick Stewart.

[@alicelin9661]

I think in this video Thomas has a tender speaking way and sensitive blue eyes which makes him really cute.

[@MirellaDerks]

If I understand well the deeper reason that Thomas chose acting is getting Positive Attention (healing for teasing), while for Patrick it was Safety and Protection (controlled-environment).

[@nak3dxsnake]

fuck i could stand to have both of thos in my life. fantastic insight into the character of each person. well noted.

[@ronbergeron9298]

wasn't this the guy that played vega in the pete holmes street fighter sketch?

[@thedeadlive]

Sure is!

[@samwalters9712]

Loved this. But I'll watch anything with Patrick Stewart.

[@cannibalbananas]

Sam Walters me too. I love Patrick Stewart :)

[@andrewking2971]

What are ya doin here DOOBS?!?

[@b.d.1509]

This made me fall back in love with Patrick Stewart for like... the eighteenth time, and Thomas Middleditch for the fourth.

[@Gid-J]

"I've never heard of that show (Startrek the next generation)" lol Thomas is too funny and Patrick is too polite.

[@LancenHarms]

"I came and I gushed all over you" is my new favourite Patrick Stewart line. You can always tell how dirty something's implications are if "it was disgusting, you urinated all over me" is actually used to DAMPEN the effect of the quote.

[@corzed3465]

I watched this whole thing smiling from ear to ear. Fun and informative, the best kind of entertainment.

[@DiBaozi]

I love Patrick's voice! man

[@Windtalkers87]

Fantastic interview. Stewart having his Capt. Picard moment at the Mayan ruins killed me.

[@freyna]

💯% that person he bumped into, so random for them. And just pstew becoming a kid again. Wonderful share.

[@ryansanteful]

their rapport is so natural

[@cesarbeltran9967]

These two have the most unusual yet intriguing friendship LOL

[@alanaveira9723]

These two are hilarious.

[@michellemaesimplicio3412]

love the green socks

[@DendyJungle]

dont know whether to make a doobs joke or a "straight up struck patrick stewarts child" joke

[@EvelinaNestecka]

if I met Thomas I would be very delightfully impressed by his presence.

[@matth46]

Aww, get a room, you two! No, seriously, they got a great connection!

[@julianaaraujo2839]

The concept of Thomas explaining Fuck Marry Kill to Patrick using the term "sexual intercourse" instead of "fuck" is one of the greatest things online.

[@zenithquasar9623]

Patrick Stewart is amazing! So much respect!

[@baboom007]

Tom looks a bit like Robert Powell aka Jesus of Nazareth

[@theredhoodlives3027]

they should have talked about the professor Xavier skits Thomas has done

[@Studycase3000]

I can love the work of many but I am a fan of few. Patrick Stewart is a man that I am a true fan of.

[@pausebeforeviewtube]

I absolutely loved this. Great pairing.

[@EvieMatavelli]

Two smart sexy actors

[@unqtious]

Thomas Middleditch is surprisingly funny.

[@noahwright4356]

unqtious He's an underrated comedic actor he is soo funny and clever I wish more people realized how amazing he is

[@EvieMatavelli]

Thom has a Hugh Laurie vibe... House MD remake he has to be the star

[@nak3dxsnake]

Young House I can dig it. Miles Teller could play that other dude.

[@nak3dxsnake]

or adam devine lul

[@NachoManRandySandwich]

Patrick almost looked a little sad when it was stated the he was born without a middle name and that he had to give himself one. He paused for a split second as if he was thinking to himself no one ever cared enough to give him one

[@ChilliCheezdog]

Never heard of Thomas Middleditch. Not gonna Google him. Probably never hear of him again.

[@pauldixon5174]

Expect even faster uploads starting next week. I just learned some huge time management skills today while messing around

[@rosepalmer73]

You can tell Stewart knows how to do interviews and Thomas is still in the novice stage of doing interviews. So I think it was very good that Stewart took the reins of the interview and lead the way so we got more insights to this young actor

[@bhoqeem1975]

My forever Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

[@andrewfitch2298]

"Real cocaine...?"

[@rnbspowa7of69]

Don’t piss off the Knight!

[@yads5678]

Thomas Middleton is not interesting. At.all.

[@ToddDouglasFox]

P. Stew, I watched you do solo when you were terribly ill. I couldn’t tell you were sick or less than happy with performing solo. You were stupendous.

[@chazertronfivethousand4425]

Irreverence meets supremely respected. I keep reading in the comments that they're friends in real life, but this had a lot of crossed arms and waving off. Odd pairing for an inter-interview.

[@elizabethgivens1968]

Thomas Middledich's discomfort deserves an award.

[@martywittenberg6601]

I swear it is like that guy just came from the Bridge of Enterprise just to do this thing. Even not in that role he has that air of authority surrounding him. "You have the bridge Number one...i have to go this interview,don't blow this ship up while i'm gone,i think we are going through them a bit to fast"

[@davemartin8409]

re: Alastair Sim and Kathleen Harrison in A Christmas Carol (1951) they were brilliant, bold, and funny.

[@laurabaker9610]

Thomas introducing Sir Pat to FMK is absolutely iconic

[@pianomatt715]

Love witnessing their friendship!!

[@xchn2]

This was fantastic! Thanks for putting it together.

[@prixiejynvallenas2826]

Thomas keeps making jokes and Patrick never reacts lol

Okay this matchup was perfection, these two are so cool and interesting and I love that they have such a good friendship it was so entertaining to watch them converse. There needs to be more Pstew and Middleditch content like this

Ummmmmmm Actually Sir PStew, Star Trek Next Generation ended in May of 1994.
