[@KingCharles3]

Lawrence of Arabia and Cleopatra

[@Eire_Go_Deo]

Burton: “Look Back In Anger”, “Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolfe”, “Anne Of A Thousand Days”, “Equus” “Spy Who Came In Fron The Cold” and many more. O’Toole: “The Ruling Class”, “Rogue Male”, “Lion In Winter”, “Pygmalion”, “Venus” and many more! Two Celtic titans, hellraisers, intellectuals, renaissance men and LEGENDS!

[@julietantonio1049]

Favorite O'Toole performance is the Ruling Class. He stretches every acting muscle to convey the tragedy of Jack and it is SPELL BINDING

[@maestroclassico5801]

O'Toole The Lion In Winter. Burton Cleopatra or Anne Of The Thousand Days.

[@m.t.fisher4655]

Their teaming in BECKET.

[@adamhickey396]

Of the four hellraisers, Peter O'Toole comes across as the most affable and someone who would be happy to talk to anyone from the general public.

[@Sven_E07]

There's a book titled "Hellraisers" about them. Do you refer to this? I bought it but haven't read it yet.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Peter was a giant of cinema, Love his work

[@KingCharles3]

More Peter!

[@jezebeljones659]

"..the oldest Welshman I've ever seen." Burton: "Becket." OT'oole: "Ruling Class."

[@petercollins7848]

Another tragic figure, just like Richard Burton. In the entertainment world there are many like this. A lot of these actors have serious psychological problems - not to be admired like many of the foolish public think.

[@jezebeljones659]

Hey sourboots, can we not appreciate someon'e's wit, intelligence and most of all, their superb acting talent, and not dwell on what was wrong with their heads?

[@garyfoster3854]

How exactly have you enriched the world with your extravagant talents?

[@robertacolarette1594]

I love watching Becket 1964. It’s actually here on KZbin. Peter O’Toole was a god in the 60’s. He’s so beautiful in that film you can’t take your eyes off him. No one plays a King like him either. His presence, the attitude the regal bearing. He’s just magnificent.

[@jameslamendola7843]

Richard Burton: Prince of Players. Peter O’Toole: The Ruling Class.

[@deirdre108]

"The Ruling Class" one of the greatest movies that never make the greatest movies list.

[@itsaashish]

Love Dick Cavett and Peter O'Toole

[@BlackDesertSnake]

his vocabulary is marvelous

[@Missjunebugfreak]

He's incredibly eloquent. It's one of my favorite things about watching or listening to Peter's interviews.

[@BlackDesertSnake]

@@Missjunebugfreak indeed

[@HerAeolianHarp]

Lawrence of Arabia, My Favorite Year, and for his shouting, The Dark Angel, A Lion in Winter....

[@mathompson53187]

My Favorite Year ... love that one!

[@HerAeolianHarp]

Richard: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Beckett.

[@hyderabadildarshiv174]

The king of Troy

[@johnschaefer2238]

O’Toole was magnificent in My Favorite Year. My favorite line was when he was having his full fledged panic attack “I’m not an actor I’m a movie star!”

God Peter is so adorable when he giggles!

[@jamesm.3967]

Looks like John Hurt.

[@marcofreitas3844]

Could any honourable soul enjoying the video please transcribe what O´Toole says from 01:38 to 1:46 (from ´"..anyone who knows me..." until ´ ...´...I don´t care..."?

[@cearaa1950]

the best I got was "anyone who knows me wouldn't dare vindicate about anything i do...ignorance may, if they want to asperse it, i don't care" - he might be saying "ignorants" as a noun, though?

[@marcofreitas3844]

@@cearaa1950 Thank you.

[@mikehinton9079]

Why was dick cavatt so popular

[@totallybored5526]

Because he’s not Jimmy Fallon or James Corden

[@jamesm.3967]

@@totallybored5526because he asked smart questions. And he wasn’t there to entertain or keep sponsors happy.
