[@OldRaver]

Anyone else find his voice as his character in Millions super sexy, but in real life it’s surprisingly high and sqeaky?🤔 He actually giggles! I love him.

[@ActionRole-PlayingGames]

He is one of the main reason why I watch billions. His character is so likes us full of flaws but still tries to the right thing. 😍

[@veggigoddess]

He was for me, but then I realized how outstanding Damian Lewis is. Never seen him in anything before this show and now I watch for him

[@roofnkeith]

This guy is a great actor. Love his character

[@joedoubleyouem5873]

Paul Giamatti has some of the best "cursing" lines ever Private Parts.

[@amylee3531]

I have been a MASSIVE fan of his for so long. I've only just found Billions and on mid season 2. He is PHENOMENAL. The whole cast is.

[@Kevin_Street]

Always love to see Paul Giamatti.

[@stevet3456]

I'd love to see Paul in literally any science fiction movie!

[@Qavsify]

Such a great actor, he was brilliant in Billions.

[@Dr.Spatula]

Paul Giamatti would make a great Ferengi

[@immereinsmehralsdu]

@Diana MitfordHe is a great villain in Shoot 'em up.

[@Dr.Spatula]

He was the villain in big fat liar. He was rhino in amazing spiderman

[@LtCatscratch]

No such luck anymore. He'd make a fabulous Krill thou. You know Orville :D

[@trostol]

i was just thinking this!!!!

[@nicholasheredia4235]

He would also make a great Red Max from Wacky Races.

[@MissVioletaOrange]

You can always tell when Stephen enjoys his guest! 😍

[@sundhaug92]

President John Adams everybody

[@ccricc]

No, that's Harvey Pekar.

[@lionking0110]

I lived him in John Adams.

[@upaya30]

I thought that was Harry Tjarks, finally made good.

[@ACDBunnie]

Yes! That's where I know him from, where I first saw him.

[@carriemaxwell417]

I watch the John Adams miniseries once every 9 months because it's that good.

[@przytulanka1979]

I love his voice.

[@lockergr]

Props to the band for the Pulp Fiction intro. Made me remember how much I missed that CD forever borrowed by a friend.

[@lungflogger9]

Giamatti should be in a buddy movie that takes place in the wine country, he'd great in it!

[@marilynw.ramirez8006]

Mr. Giamatti is such a good actor. I enjoy Billions so much!

[@gabriellefagan1014]

Giamatti, America's sweetheart 💞

[@ericsola548]

He smile and laugh here 10 x more than in 6 seasons of billions!

[@HerAeolianHarp]

Still hoping he will do Vertical, the sequel to Sideways.

[@berlindude75]

You heard him, Seth MacFarlane: Paul Giamatti for an alien on The Orville! :)

[@reneeflamand8991]

Paul has always been so damn cute. Talented as all get out, of course. I’ve seen much of his work, which I admire. But….he’s so cute. I only just realized he and I have the exact same birthday. June 6, 1967. I knew we were friends.

[@carolbenson6524]

Such a great actor and so cute!

[@robyn913]

As a masochist, this is incredibly amusing to watch. :D "Take more pleasure in it!"

[@alienbacon656]

Paul Giamatti would be a pretty cool Riddler.

[@juicer67]

@Alien Bacon They had him in mind to replace Heath Ledger as the Joker. I think he would have done a great job in that role, but it didn’t pan out.

[@jennifermcgoldrick6323]

When I was 24 and had my first apartment in Brooklyn on my own I had the pleasure of living five blocks from Paul Giamatti’s occasional bar. I only saw him there once. And Gabriel Burns there once as well, before kids took over in last five years, but I’ll always remember ignoring Paul Giamatti while he had one drink in the corner 13 years ago :)

[@61lastchild]

Ill never forget the time I almost ran into Cameron Diaz at JFK, and I mean literally ran inot her...we both side stepped each other like NFL running backs avoiding a tackle. My life is now about finding any moment I can somehow insert that run-in into conversation, or trolling you tube videos, etc, she might be in...so to tell this story. Like it somehow links us in life. That she often thinks about that guy who almost ran me over...

[@jennifermcgoldrick6323]

61lastchild my best celebrity experience was getting Leo DiCaprio to wink at me when I was on a first date and he was ordering drinks for a big table where he was clearly having a business meeting to finance something :) obviously the date understood me ignoring him to make eye contact with Leo 😂

[@andrewyanowsky7219]

John Adams is such a brilliant show. I was blown away

[@samm3114]

Chuck is so my fav!! And what brilliant writing

[@hlozano6231]

Billions!!!!! Love the freaking show and this was an amazing interview!!

[@GriotDNB]

Seth McFarlane please cast this dude.

[@Kevin_Street]

This makes a lot of sense. "The Orville" has had celebrity cameos before. Giamatti could play a Moclan (the most Klingon-like species we've seen), or if he wants to be a bad guy, maybe a Krill.

[@introXversion]

Someone tell Paul Giamatti that Doc Brown played a Klingon and that there's still hope! :)

[@madnessbydesign1415]

That was my first thought too... :)

[@victorschlatter112]

He’s an amazing actor

[@annoldham3018]

Love this guy. Very underrated actor.

[@freedomm]

Paul Giamatti is a brilliant actor. Been a fan since American Splendor.

[@TheBigOnow]

Paul was already a silly blue guy in Big Fat Liar

[@carldavies9371]

Brilliant, brilliant actor.

[@sgupta4]

Ooh, I wonder if Giamatti is a Trekkie which would only make me love him even more.

[@OzDeaDMeaT]

We gotta get Paul Giamatti onto Star Trek Discovery

[@misshorray2939]

Such a crush on this guy 😍

[@ivanavais5972]

Me too

[@nopharti6515]

I LOVE PAUL GIAMMATI!!!

[@rspainter7896]

I love Paul Giamatti.

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

Fantastic actor

[@Bella418]

Love Paul Giamatti!

[@Jaytheradical]

He was also in Ripper, a cyberpunk FMV game starring... Well, a whole lot of people. It's wild. Since we're casting Dune now, hey, Thufir Hawat maybe?

[@nmart1n]

Jaytheradical He would be perfect for Thufir!

[@ariesviolent]

I'm surprised he didn't mention when he was in Tim Burton's planet of the apes. Plus his little cameo in the second Amazing Spider-man.

[@DeesonJame]

"Those little blue guys" - It's a bit specist

[@joelcarrero2600]

I love Paul!!!

[@DastardlyB]

"Hint of things to come..."

[@melaniecarroll1305]

Loved Lady in the Water!

[@Endureromex]

Great actor

[@tinaloveseddie]

♥️Paul♥️

[@nmart1n]

I love Paul. Such a great actor.

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

he should really do a movie with quentin tarantino...QT re-wrote the script for his feature debut ,but they havent worked together since then.

[@grrrlishgrin]

can we please not give QT any more work until he gets over the violent way he depicts women.

[@kapilsethia9284]

@@grrrlishgrin ??

[@grrrlishgrin]

@@kapilsethia9284 spitting in her face, pressuring her to do very dangerous stunts and hurt herself... plus just the general violence against women in his films. www.nytimes.com/2018/02/03/opinion/sunday/this-is-why-uma-thurman-is-angry.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-right-region&region=opinion-c-col-right-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region

[@61lastchild]

QT fanboys...enough. hes not that good, he just diddles your dopey immature, and impotent male fantasies.

[@StephNuggs]

@@grrrlishgrin Wtf are you on about? He depicts everyone violently. Stop looking at the world thru a keyhole, you're reaching too

[@upandawaygames]

The episodes of Lodge 49 that he was in were the best of that show.

[@inplacesdeep893]

How did they not title this "Paul Giamatti Wants to be a Klingon?"

[@thlee3]

i fell in love with Paul Giamatti in Shoot ‘Em Up

[@NewMessage]

I know Rainn Wilson already has the role.. but Paul would play a great Harry Mudd.

[@wynstansmom829]

Yes! Harcourt Fenton Mudd needs a movie! and New Message...this may be your most brilliant comment of them all! Ahead, Warp Speed (please).

[@samuela9245]

Love paul

[@StephanieNics]

I want Paul Giamatti as Hari Seldon in a Foundation adaptation.

[@robouser2838]

I want to see "Neuromancer" by William Gibson, or "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. Fun fact, Neal is also the chief futurist for the Magic Leap project.

[@PaulJBurns]

Both would be very interesting viewing.

[@Acanthophis]

Paul Giamatti already has experience playing a silly blue guy.

[@jameschance3991]

Love Lodge 49!

[@JohnCrichton]

paul giamatti in scifi would be epic (can we still say that word in 2019)

[@blank_stare_productions]

How can anyone NOT like this guy.

[@alexandercampbell7903]

Paul Giamatti AND "Beaver who can tell you the exact flavor of wood notes in that 1997 Bottle of Chilean Pinot Noir".

[@PJBubbles]

Rhoades Rocks!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@franciet99]

Love Lodge!

[@ionanyzr767]

just love paul giamatti... he's been in sci-fi &fantasy but never an alien ! A new role awaits on Star Trek dear Paul :)

[@eduardoandres5989]

not dangerous??? what about Shoot em Up??? he was a great villain! lol

[@savagenature1]

Smith: What's up doc? (takes a bite out of a carrot) Hertz: Oh You're a Wascally Wabbit

[@juandesalgado]

Please, Seth MacFarlane, bring Paul Giamatti into The Orville.

[@glenandrewstewart]

Back in form Stephen 😁

[@drummerguy789101]

Yeah it was actually the riddler that teamed up with Batman because he was a consulting private detective for a while. It was really interesting.

[@novaquinn5323]

Legend

[@robertdavis4192]

Paul should be cast in the upcoming Dune films

[@samuela9245]

Billions....such a underrated show

[@liquidbraino]

Paul Giamatti would be the best Riddler ever.

[@betty4774]

Stephen is not my favorite interviewer but he is always awesome with Paul since he learns Paul is into the same geeky novels lol

[@fay4296]

"these people" lol

[@LuisCandotti]

Only artist who really would like an autograph. That's the guy!

[@akryeguy]

Paul's one of my favorites. Free-range Giamatti is pretty descriptive. Hope he gets a really cool Sci-fi script someday. Even if he did something more with wine again would be cool. Always wished Mondovino could be adapted as a drama series, but who would be the protagonist/antagonist in it? Years after watching it Hubert deMontille is lovable, honorable, memorable. Aime Guibert hillarious. Who would be the heavy? One of the Mondavis? Michel Rolland for certain.

[@thebrickfastclub1714]

Hungryyyy like the WoooooLf!!

[@cuteblancaestrella]

Love the show Billions #1 in our house "Chuck Rhoades, Bobby Axel Rod, Wendy, Taylor Mason" The best on TV

[@Sickmindedone]

He was in John Dies at the End and that was science fiction... how did he forget about that?

[@liquidbraino]

I'd love to see Paul Giamatti in a Blade Runner type of futuristic Sci-Fi film.

[@marioimolina]

science fiction movie? he was in Planet of the Apes for crying out loud. or did he just want to forget about that? he he

[@shawnsmith1865]

I didn't know that guy was so funny. What a character

[@searchith]

Maybe he could be descended from a Vulcan and a Klingon: "Live long and hold your blood wine."

[@Buenomars]

6:55 (Insert "Joined the Cast of Dune" meme)

[@robertdavis4192]

he did use the word Prescience, which is important within the Dune universe

[@Dlark17]

"Never been in any Sci-Fi"? What about "Cold Souls" and "John Dies At the End"? Those are totally SF, Paul! I hope you're being facetious!

[@xandreazevedo]

National American treasure this guy

[@doritos6893]

Honestly I think one of his best scenes was in the ‘Fred Clause and Clyde’ scene

[@robertdavis4192]

The thought of Paul as Batman was too much, I squealed like a hyena

[@NewMessage]

I would love nothing better than to follow these two through a used book store.

[@Daraka.]

Let’s not forget that Paul Giamatti played a silly, blue bad guy in Big Fat Liar

[@Garagieraryhir]

He is soo Miles in real life!!!!

[@KhalidKashogi]

Marvel, JJ, whoever, LISTENNN!!!!

[@NjIceTea]

i like him

[@YeeSoest]

I wish Stephen would add a little "that doesn't get any applause apparently" or "nobody knows that yet" when he mentions a guest's project and the crowd doesn't react at all ^^ Just to make them realize how picky they are with their applause in some regards but when you just mention healthcare for all or Ocasio-Cortez, there's always an instant applause break for NO DAMN REASON WHATSOEVER

[@geoker55]

Someone tweet/instagram/text Seth... get this guy on The Orville!

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Anyone who discounts this guy as a leading man thoroughly underestimates his chops and presence and charisma. Totally leading man material. He hasn't been a mere supporting actor in some time.

[@68caribou]

Denis Villeneuve should call Paul Giamatti in Dune!!!!! :)

[@RustyTube]

_Thunderpants_ is one science-fiction that he was in.

[@Opine_Divine]

Hollywood, get this man his sci-fi role, STAT!
