Sam Rockwell Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

[@josephvanwyk2088]

SAM ROCKWELL - One of the greatest screen actors of our time. Every film where he's the lead, play a main character or even secondary - it just elevates the film entirely.

[@thenadzman1]

YES!!!!!

[@therealmvp1024]

Agreed, his performance in Three Billboards is one of my favorite ever.

[@SynnJynn]

One of my favorite actors... loved him in Galazy Quest.. minor role, but still, he always has me in stitches

[@nyrahl593]

I still hear "Regular or Menthol" whenever his name comes up. :D Always nice to see an actor in their early bit parts and how awesome their career became.

[@knuppelwuppel]

i love this dude so much, when i watched this interview i said it out a load

[@krislyons2793]

I like how he lists his specific inspirations for each role, and gives credit to the original actors. You don't really see that too often.

[@JaxonBurn]

I like that, too. Nic Cage is another guy that does that a lot.

[@NormAppleton]

Rockwell was bombed out of his skull in this interview

[@Bdavk]

How? ​@@NormAppleton

[@defpixel]

@@NormAppleton because is it’s easy content to make listing random films and call them “iconic characters” even though they’re not

[@hawnick7234]

Yeah, I found this super interesting too. Only actor I've seen do this, though Im sure it's common practice.

[@heypal8072]

This guy and Walton Goggins are probably two of the most underrated actors today. Both have been at it forever and I'm glad they've been getting more recognition the past few years.

[@silviaoino2648]

Big facts!

[@wrestlinginfodude2644]

Sam is not underrated,he is an oscar winning actor,and widely known as one of the best actors in Hollywood's

[@Doorcrakin]

​@wrestlinginfodude2644 Yes, but recognition came for him later in life for his acting.

[@yungkidnf]

I swear on *EVERYTHING* that I was just thinking this EXACT thing while watching this.

[@nickyG1212]

Funny enough those guys are friends and I served them at a restaurant together with Sams Girlfriend Leslie Bibb. All extremely nice & funny people. Sam brought his dog too.

[@MasterOrona]

Sam is in there with Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, William Fichtner and other similar actors with a near unlimited range of roles and seem under appreciated by the masses.

[@jb7]

Gary Oldman is everything - except underappreciated.

[@al201103]

Yeah, I very much agree. I think you're into films - a cinephile or a film buff or a movie nerd or whatever we get called these days - you know Sam and rate him super highly. If not, he's somehow not on the radar.

[@florentdevier]

+ Gyllenhaal + Seymour Hoffman

[@philsurtees]

Yeah, he's a great actor, but he's not in the same league as Gary Oldman, who isn't underappreciated by anyone, least of all the masses. Neither is Sam Rockwell for that matter. They wouldn't be making this video if he was, Einstein...

[@twentyfiveyears5010]

Yeah, there are some actors about whom you say, "Oh, So-And-So is in this; I'll watch it." Sam and the other three you mentioned. William H. Macy. Nicola Walker. They often contribute more in character roles than the "stars" of the movie do.

[@ArcadeArea]

One of the most underrated actor of last 25 years. His performance in Moon was Oscar worthy. Hope to see him in some prominent roles in the future.

[@larykenobi]

Instantly became one of my favorite actor after watching moon

I Interviewed Sam for this video; he was so nice and sooooo insightful. Probably one of my favourite videos I've ever done. He had so many great films to talk about that it was impossible to get all of them in the time we had. Can't wait to find out about the new Martin McDonagh film!

[@beowulf1417]

Should pass it on to the higher ups that it's pretty stupid trying to add whatever film they're currently promoting/starring in as an "iconic role". Just make that a separate video, we want to hear about their actual iconic roles not a response about a role they're still under contract to promote when speaking to the media.

[@sophier5322]

How have you not included The Way Way Back?!? Such a beautifully magical movie about the transition between childhood innocence and adult bewilderment… Sam Rockwell’s character is the heart of the film.

While watching this video I was thinking about my own favorite Sam Rockwell movies and The Way Way Back was the very first that came to my mind. I'm sure a lot of us can relate as a young adult when you connect with an older person outside your family independently for the first time. It's a coming of age process that is not really covered much, which makes the story kind of unique, while still being very real and relatable. Awesome film.

[@rossmcmahon6052]

It's my family's favourite summer movie. We always watch it just before schools break up for the summer holidays here in Scotland. Whole cast is amazing, but Sam Rockwell elevates the whole movie.

[@just4ush]

His voice is soo recognizable i have always loved this mans acting. He makes a villain look cool and his delivery is just on point!

Seven Psychopaths is amazing.

[@frankcarlosanaliza]

He was a revelation in 7 Psichopaths. I still have to see Three Billboards

[@Ozzie314]

He is one of those actors where you love him in everything he does and yet somehow he isn't top billed as much as you'd want him to be. Also, his name alone is just iconic too. It is very distinct for some reason to me.

[@killmenow6663]

Rockwell and Harrelson should have shared an Oscar for their roles in 3 Billboards, one of the greatest films ever made.

I clicked this SO fast. I love Sam! I had suuuuuch a crush on him. I went on a Rockwell vendor like seven or eight years ago so I’ve got some catching up to do but by far the weirdest and most simple movie he’s ever done in my opinion was Lawn dogs - costarring a very young Mischa Barton - her first on screen role. Its genre is called, like… fantasy/surreal/real life or something. I’d never seen IMDB label a movie that way before.

I’m such a huge Sam Rockwell fan, and wanting that I really loved about this interview is how much respect he has for the craft and skill of his fellow actors, and how much he draws upon them as models for inspiration. This is a guy who clearly studies all aspects of cinema

[@TheQuixotic1]

I remember seeing The Green Mile, Galaxy Quest, and Charlie's Angels all within ~2 years of each other and not truly realizing until my senior year of high school when I saw Hitchhiker's Guide they were all him and just being blown away. Sam Rockwell is one of those actors who elevates whatever he is in and completely owns his role. Him saying they were thinking about WF or JC for Hitchhiker's had me thinking I could understand why they might want them, but Sam owns that role and I don't think either of them could have pulled it off how he did.

[@shelbyligon1136]

Lawn Dogs is definitely worth a watch if you're interested in early, early Rockwell.

To be honest, I didn't think the movie was great. I didn't hate it like some people I knew, but as a fan of the books I guess I was blinded by a lot of missed opportunity. But Sam Rockwell... Despite how I thought the film changed his character for the worse, HE was great in it. He was the guy I was focused on in every scene he was in, despite Arthur Dent's being the primary character. Rockwell and Bill Nighy made me feel like that movie wasn't so bad.

Charlies Angels is so slept on. Its one of the best parodies of the 90s and Crispin Glover is so weird 😂

[@Vic-Vega]

Best parodies of the '90s?? The show was on in the late-'70s to early-'80s, and the first movie was released in 2000. You've got some 'splaining to do.

He's one of my fav actors - wish they had discussed BOX OF MOONLIGHT and one of my favorite Rockwell's crazy performances in GENTLEMEN BRONCOS

[@JeriO-i2e]

BOX OF MOONLIGHT is one of those movies that I WISH I could 'discover' all over again! I LOVED it so much and he was such a great counterpoint to John Turturro! Thanks for the reminder!

Disappointed to not see Jojo Rabbit here

[@Inkslinger123]

Seriously underrated movie.

[@teej1987]

Ok

[@WillMcConnell-hv4xd]

Ya

[@harambeftw8363]

His role and acting in Three Billboards is what really made me fall in love with him.

[@Dieselfist87]

Recently saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and he was a foot clan punk. What an iconic role!

[@stewartmcminn7773]

😮😮😮😮 he so was!

[@jesseswarbrick7895]

Yes that was classic...."regular or menthol?"

[@aaronledbetter7429]

No mention of 'The Way Way Back'?? He was stellar in that movie. Sam is a powerhouse... He deserves more credit than what he gets (IMO).

LOVE Sam Rockwell!! He was one of my celebrity crushes as a teen. And he dances so well. I fell for his dancing, I stayed for his incredible range and acting talent.

[@seejaneread]

Fosse/Verdon is incredible. I love Sam, any time he’s in a project I get excited for it.

[@tricialocke2313]

Lawn Dogs is still one of my favorite movies of his.

[@markhorsburgh]

Matchstick men is one of my favourite Sam Rockfall films.

[@VintageBeauty1313]

I always get so excited when I see him pop up in a movie! He’s definitely one of my favorite actors!!

[@ArngrimJakobsen]

You’ll never compare him to one of his previous movies! Everything he does is different! Amazing actor and really seems like a great humane person! Great IC I must say ❤

[@oneopinion6806]

Moon is fantastic! A top tier example of heady scifi done without any sort of budget to speak of.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

I love this guy. He just impresses me more, with every role. So glad I got to hear him talk about "Moon". I found that one very moving.
