Samuel L. Jackson & Michael Keaton | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

[@adamblanco5028]

these two in jackie brown were phenomenal

[@marcwarren4393]

Yep

[@韓国J]

michael keaton is under-appreciated

[@pnut3844able]

Are you serious? He's batman

[@1977TA]

@@pnut3844able Before he was Batman, he was Beetlejuice. Before he was Beetlejuice, he was Mr. Mom. I think why it may seem that Keaton is under appreciated is because his career kind of feel into obscurity after Batman Returns. He kept busy but none of the films he appeared in did enough to keep his name in the public consciousness. Fortunately, he's getting noticed again.

[@AA-qb7ni]

I love this pairing. These two are acting legends!!

[@J.T.Seibert]

Yeah, that is true and facts are separate

[@kellyharper8072]

Always have had a crush on Keaton. Smart, funny and deep. He’s aging excellently.

[@IAmAHeater]

Nice to see Michael Keaton as a relevant actor again.

[@bezzaderbane9890]

I hate the term "relevant" since when is an actor not relevant? They're doing roles then theyre relevant to whoever wants to go watch their work, just because you don't find them relevant doesn't mean they aren't its a rather meaningless phrase, what you mean is he's back in the spotlight and youre noticing him that doesn't mean he hasn't been relevant, he's still been working, just cos its not Hollywood blockbusters isn't a gauge of "relevance"

[@prisonmike3605]

Bezza Derbane to be honest in Hollywood the word “relevant” does apply when it comes to when a star was at some point the most talked about or doing major roles. I don’t think the post was made to be offensive.

Michael Keaton, one of my favourite actors of all time. Nice pairing on the interview!

michael keaton is one of the greatest actor of all time.I love him in batman, birdman and recently spotlight.

[@mustsilm]

Tarantino should do another film with Keaton.

[@StreetHierarchy]

AND George Clooney AND Bruce Willis

[@DarthHater100]

Fuck Bruce Willis. His last good film was Die Hard, and the last 5 movies I saw him in, he totally phoned it in.

[@patrickgerona1]

Keaton always looks away when thinking and looks at Jackson when he has finished the line of thought and always looks at him in the eye when Jackson is talking

[@mookdontcareforreal4640]

Michael Keaton Batman was the best in my opinion.

[@Ah-ed6ie]

I won't even dispute that! 👌. After batman and batman returns. It's all about who played the Joker better.

[@Ah-ed6ie]

@Vino I haven't seen all bales installments but both leger and bale. It was modernised but darker but the roles they made it there own. The movies of in-between. Uma Thurman was good as poison ivy all I remember from the ones after keatons.

[@nemesisbreakz]

No I'm batman

[@dubjon5134]

I don't know Batman (too short, terrible mobility), but he's the only Bruce Wayne I believe is crazy enough to dress like a bat and fight crime every night.

+Sauron Merciful Yea that's a good one.

[@p5rsona]

[@nerblebun]

[@tonyflaco3223]

+OhMyBooda 1990 u dumbass

I can watch these actors on actors interviews all Day !

[@adsensedd]

Man Keaton is on top of his game at the moment. Birdman and Spotlight both blew me away. Jackson awesome as always...

[@smoothcriminal28]

Michael Keaton is one of the best actors ever imo. His range is insane. Sam is awesome, but Keaton is on a different level.

[@tevincollins2869]

Ozzy nah I don’t think it’s that far apart

[@dennisjr77]

Keaton is on that DiCaprio and Depp level.

[@IvanPolyansky]

Keaton is easily one of the greatest. Birdman was such a wild ride

[@glst1974]

Both actors have great range. Both done comedy, drama, suspense, many genres. More detail explanation on why Michael is on a "different level" than Samuel would be appreciated. Keep in mind, I am a fan of BOTH, so I see them both at same level.

[@thenachoandthecheeze]

I love Keaton but you gotta watch Unbreakable and more earlier Sam roles, he gets typecasted as himself and alot of the times his characters don’t get a lot outside of “screaming black dude” but when he does he kills that shit. Unbreakable is probably his most out of type and he KILLS that shit.

[@colstonlchinese]

Samuel is so comfortable in his skin. I ❤it!

[@Captain_Rhodes]

sam jackson and tarantino were made for eachother. I always like him but when he's in a tarantino movie he goes to another level

I love him. But he's starting to look it. When he was 60 he looked 37.

[@KJ_1810]

@@CamoShirt Keaton left Hollywood to pursue his home and family life. He had the dough to do it so he did. Sam has done so many films lately where he is just cashing in (Barely Lethal, Kite, XXX, Cell so on) but he has those little diamonds like Django, Hateful Eight, The Banker, Kingsman somewhat Nick Fury (but that role has definitely been catered toward Sam) where he plays legitimate characters.

Damn show me one person who don’t know him and look at a picture of him and say that he’s 71 ? Nobody would guess that I normally am good with guessing ages but for him I would have say in the mid maybe high 50’s i wouldn’t even give him 60, don’t know what he does !?, but keep doing it man , and don’t stop making fabulous movies. 👍👍👍👍

[@tiffsaver]

I've never seen a busier actor in my life than Sam Jackson. On Keaton, I think his Batman was the best one of all, and that's simply because of his ACTING. When I first heard that they selected him to be the first Caped Crusader I thought they made a big mistake, but it was his ability to create a "conflicted" character that truly made him rise above all the rest. Nobody did it like him, not Clooney, not Kilmer, not Affleck, not even Christian Bale.
