Tom Holland Q&A for 'The Crowded Room' | SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversation

[@tkh1231]

Tom is so articulated when he speaks. I love hearing him speak.

[@Hlla387]

Oh the irony of this comment

[@i_love_rescue_animals]

@@Hlla387 I see you! edited to add: ha ha!!!

[@margaretboyd4747]

I love when he said he could control what eye from which he could make a single tear roll down his face( hahaha)and l love his accent he’s so funny

[@Doug-hq7vs]

Tom Holland's acting is simply on another level, the guy is at the top of the industry and it's not even funny how far above he is, very few have his level, and yet he's super humble (and charismatic), like, he asks for acting advice for actors and actresses who don't have 10% of his level😭

[@evatrost1750]

Benedict and Robert have 10% of his level?

[@Bamgeutcutiepie]

Honestly The crowded room was really moving. His character broke me. i understood what we were dealing with from episode 2 i think. but even as you knew, hearing danny finally admit it in court, and having him finally come through as his true self, was such a gut-wrenching moment. I myself have schizophrenia. so even if that is not having multiple personalities, i related a lot to the feelings danny had. things he said and how he viewed himself and dealt with his trauma. very powerful and wonderful performance. There is NOTHING bad about this show. But if we are being honest, we know *why* this show was kind of not talked about. every time there is a movie about this subject of kids, - dealing with a word i can't type - hollywood makes sure it get silenced. There is the famous book called "the perks of being a wallflower" - which deals with similar trauma, and NO one wanted to touch that project when it was in works to become a film. what else could be the reason this show is getting bad reviews.. the episodes were great. the acting was great. and it deals really good with mental illness. and the word i am not allowed to type. even the word is not allowed here..... so i just want to say, to anyone who has not given this show a chance, it is deeplt moving and very dark. but one of toms best performances for sure 💕

[@BuddyNovinski]

I still admire Tom for taking on such a role. He shows how important it is to leave the comfort zone. Hopefully, he will remain an excellent role model.

[@cutiepie-ht9dn]

He deserves an award for this one

[@marciapotesreina285]

He’s young, focused and mature man. charismatic with a deep-rooted sense of family. How important is to see that in the environment in which he works he maintains the values and principles that his parents taught him. Never stop keeping your feet on the ground. I’ll pray to heaven that you find a partner who will accompany you and with whom you can form a family and enjoy life together!

[@peachesandpoets]

He was incredible in this show.

[@cailyngp333]

I have watched The Crowded Room 7 times since it came out. as an actor I was studying and admiring the performances; I love being surprised by choices actors make and because that happened so much in this show I had to watch it again and again. the dialogue is also wonderful as well as the direction, so it’s a masterclass in more ways than one. as person, however, it deeply resonated with me and helped me make the decision to start therapy. thank you for this insightful conversation 💗

[@anastasialovewegerle3165]

My dad has D.I.D also known as M.P.D and this is the most accurate show about it I've ever seen.

[@michaelnesbitt]

Loved this… Tom has so much charisma and Chris knocked it out the park…

[@my_name_isadriana9618]

I love this interview. It's so professional, the interviewer and the audience are so respectful and Tom of course is so articulated. The one hour passed so quickly, thanks!! BTW I really hope Tom gets an Oscar soon, this guy is just so incredibly talented it's amazing!

[@margaretboyd4747]

He is so naturally funny it’s so entertaining to listen to him-and he’s sooooo talented and a beautiful guy inside and out

[@TTK934]

what a brilliant performance!

[@ZeeziME]

This show was absolutely amazing! his character made me cry so much and for so long. It was THE BEST serie i've ever watched, not even joking. It made me realize I want to study psychology and reach out to people like his character around the world. Absolutely amazing series and amazing acting, amazing amazing AMAZING!

[@fanneliese]

This show is still hunting me ... sooo good. Tom is a gem, very versatile and on top an eye cooky while down to earth ... I will follow his career ... and wish him the best

[@therealazhleynicole]

This show is amazing. The story line, the acting, everything about it humbles you and breaks you down to the core. A beautiful piece about childhood trauma and how it affects you as an adult. Tom Holland undoubtedly hammered this role. He is an insanely talented actor, and I truly see why Zendaya is in love with him. Cheers to everyone in the making of this masterpiece alongside the novel. Please make more and never stop. I'm so glad I stuck with the story. In the end it explains why the movie is slow moving. Every single aspect pieces together in the end. I would watch this with minimal distractions. GO DANNY!!!!!! WOOT WOOOTTT

[@artisticsensei]

I really enjoyed the show and that was mostly because of Tom’s brilliant acting. I completely believed he was each of the characters he was embodying and that drew me in completely. Give the man more chances to shine because he is bloody brilliant.

[@karategirl448]

This was incredible. Tom is just so charming.

[@GeeChalametLan]

I could listen to Tom Holland talking for hours and not get bored. 😊 The Crowded Room is a great series and I think it's Tom's best work so far along with The Impossible. I love his Spider-Man too.❤ He 's a great actor and I hope that soon we will have news about Fred Astaire and new projects.❤

[@i_love_rescue_animals]

It's so wonderful to see him in a live, longer form interview and hearing about some of his process and all that went into the INTRICATE and complex role of Danny. I just finished watching the series and think I will watch it again. I enjoyed his performance so much - even though it is so gut-wrenching. I'm also thinking how emotionally mature Tom is. I mean, yes, he's an adult, but I'm 61 and NOT emotionally mature (but continue to work on it!). He's just so open to it all. I'm so glad he got this showcase of a role before the strike, so casting people can see he can do a WHOLE LOT more (even though I know he's done some other heavy projects) than Spider Man. You go, Tom! 🙌🏽 ❤

[@lilachodan4941]

5:38 and it is so great to make a show about that with such care and respect. This is the best thing about cinematography. This literally is the sign that this world still exist

[@traciberry5141]

I love Tom’s explanation of his need of a break.

[@Bene_Gesserit]

The Crowded Room is that show that introduces you to each characters so deeply that you feel compel to keep watching. The actors were phenomenal and the plot was beautifully executed. The mental health cases and aspects of the show were respectfully incorporated into each episodes. Such an underrated show. A must watch!

[@ANightworkerslife]

"Dude, Iv'e seen Doolittle" damn his quick! Love how absolutely honest he is in his interviews. Great 50 minutes here :)

[@waalex11]

Incredible series, cast, and performance from Tom. I'm glad he introduced me to another great film. I only wish this series gets more exposure and out of exclusive Apple TV, sooner than later.

[@juanmiguelhilado9120]

Here’s hoping tom gets more roles where it’s out of his comfort zone and show his other talent like his dancemove

[@Twtybird1]

29:00 The transformation in that scene from “Danny” to another alter, literally- and I do mean, literally- was an Oh My God moment to watch. I’m glad he talked about it because I wanted to know. You did it Tom, you truly did.

[@margaretboyd4747]

I liked the scene when he went from confident Jack to meek Danny and a single tear rolled from one eye

[@ellam76589]

That interview was so refreshing 😊 Glad to see tom again

[@margaretboyd4747]

Tom is Fantastic,charming,intelligent and naturally funny and such an underrated actor. The crowded room was awesome the critics are nuts I’m thinking they didn’t watch past the first episode. He’s also a beautiful guy

[@rosereber8290]

Tom Holland fantastic funny handsome so talented so a 10 as a actor wow 😊. A lovely person 😊

[@farrington7971]

Tom Holland is beyond Amazing in The Crowded Room what a performance. The entire cast is Fantastic This is one of the best series I have ever seen and I binged the shit out of it. I would have to say this is indeed Mr Hollands Opus 🙏

[@jodesl-s2245]

I think this is the best interview I have ever seen. I've never seen Chris interview before and he is a seriously natural, respectful, engaged and exceptionally prepared interviewer. So fluid and such interesting questions. Tom seems so candid, incredibly articulate, thoughtful, honest and truly interesting. I also love that he didn't answer some questions and that Chris immediately respected that. Brilliant interview! Thank you to both Chris and Tom!

[@evatrost1750]

If you haven’t seen it jet, I also recommend Toms interview with Jay Shetty. It’s a really great and insightful interview as well.

[@clarenewman2713]

I could listen to Tom talk for hours. This show is just so brilliant, and trust when I say it’s made such an impact even on a small level. My husband works in young adult care and he’s recommended it to all of his staff to watch and learn from it. Because the content MATTERS. Thank you to Tom and to Akiva and all the cast and crew for making it a brilliant reality ❤

[@genericplantlife]

This interview was so pleasant to listen to. Great interviewer, and Tom was amazing as usual.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

I loved what Tom said about struggling to cry, because it must be such a hard thing to bring to a scene where you not only got to cry but make it feel genuine with the moment.

[@yennifferaroca2750]

What an awesome interview. Great interviwer. I could listen to Tom all day.

[@linna05sundy]

The crowded room was one of the best tv show I've seen this year❤ congratulations🎉

[@lilachodan4941]

3:24 that is the best thing. When you have a deep connection with the story. If a director has a strong connection with the story it means the movie or show is gonna be a masterpiece

[@NF40375]

I knew he was special the second I saw him in The Impossible I thought this kid is going to have an amazing career and make memorable movies for decades to come for our enjoyment and I’ve been following his career ever since His acting in Crowded Room reminded me of james mcavoy in Split and Filth; Halle berry in Frankie & Alice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@evelynwashere13]

This was excellent 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kaxidoscope]

This project was by far his best work, can’t wait for the Fred Astaire biopic and for everyone to see even more of his talent!!

[@maplenlilac]

Gosh how come I just came across this now.. I think the last thing I've watched from him was Spiderman NWH (which broke me for quite a bit of time) but I've followed his news along with some of his latest works. Like many have said here he's an articulate, mature, humble! young man ever since years ago with the way he speaks and his mannerism. Yet he still has that youthful, almost child-like spirit that sometimes comes out as almost natural 'comedic moment' (like when he said his default voice is actually much higher, water bills, etc.). Idk if others noticed but his voice actually went up higher after that section when the host said both voices are great (since he said he's actively trying to lower his register), sounding much more like himself. Also he definitely has a way in storytelling I mean one minute in and I was already smiling, entertained by his story. I also really like how he answered the break question, eloquently said without any embellishment just straight up facts, and he acknowledged that he didn't take it for granted bcs not everyone will be able to have that. The insight into acting technique was also a great point.. tbh I can't really choose he answered everything so well. But also yes to the host saying he's a great cry-er.. I really hope that he'll have a very long, successful career (and also a happy life) and I look forward to what more he could bring and see him be appreciated even more.

[@kseniazh1093]

33:08 Tom's being so adorable shy about his golf skills😁😍

[@waalex11]

Fun insight to find out that so many things that were in the series were things that were collabed with the actors, or else some scenes and characters could have been completely different. I'm glad it turned out the way it did. Well done. I watched several interviews but I could listen to a behind the scenes for several more minutes.

[@lilachodan4941]

3:33 Damn listening to him talking is so pleasing

[@Michael_notscott]

Not sure why this series got bad reviews. The performances, themes, camera work, and production were all top notch. I hope there’s a big fanbase out there for it because it blew me away. After about 3-4 episodes I stopped seeing Tom Holland and only saw the character he threw himself into.

[@mahasaeed-td3zp]

I love how in each interview he tries to bring up zendaya because he loves her so much there so cute

[@yuliaalt5597]

Just so the film 'The Crowded room'..Am on a big impression! It is very important and hard topic.. Thank you Tom and all the team for this work!❤ How easy 'wrong' people around child can make this child sick...!How many pain we have in grown up life, from the 'bad' situations in our childhood.. For me,watching this film,was more than private moment..I remembered 'all wrong ' moments in my childhood,when was no help from parents or other grown -up people(teachers and so on). And ,what is more terrifying, railysing that problems and mistakes in my life ,goes from childhood.. My tears were 'with Denny'... I liked the way Tom had made this character! Thank you..!

[@cpkay33]

great discussion. toms great. the water bill part had me dyin.

[@lukmanibrahim2993]

I've been a huge fan of Tom ever since he became so popular, not only because of his role as Spider-Man or how youthful his face looks even though he's in his mid-20s, but also how hard he works, romance with Zendaya like Peter and MJ, his relationship with siblings namely: Sam who have talent of cooking, Harry who have a talent of photography including making short film "Last Call" that features Tom and Paddy who make a appearance in Invasion series as Monty Cuttermill in Season 2, and lastly is his talent of dancing 🎉 ! I'm very proud for his amazing performance in The Crowded Room and I can't wait for his next film 😊 !

[@V_2009_tz]

Beautiful ✨

[@nekocatt561]

I'm such a huge fan of Tom Holland and I really want to meet him so bad because whenever I'm at school I'm always like "My number one hero Tom Holland!" because he's a great actor and he did an amazing job playing spider-man and he should be really proud of himself and I really admire his acting on TV and voice-acting too and he's really amazing at acting and If I did give him acting advice I would tell him to keep doing what he loves to do and never give him up on his dreams and to keep believing in himself and to be more successful in acting I Love you Tom ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤

[@AnthonyCalacione]

46:37 I’ve read a lot about on Tom Holland playing Fred Astaire in the future and when he does, mark my words he’ll win or be nominated for an Oscar

[@waalex11]

I binged the series two days ago and rewatched it again yesterday to pick up where my mom left off. It's freaky that I kinda see Danny in Tom now, even though I know him best for Spider-Man first and foremost.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I liked the crowded room I understand the backlash it recieved from certain scenes however it was one of the most interesting roles Tom has done besides Cherry however with less hats for Tom to wear however this stretched Tom out in a more emotional way

[@jazzynatasyah7599]

Someone please fill up his water 😂 40:14

[@THEUNOSLOTT]

Seen this video on my Home Screen & had to watch it bc I am a huge supporter of Tom & I just want to add another another positive comment regarding bro.. i truly believe its SOOO rare to have an actor in this new generation which is my generation in general (bc toms 27 I believe & I’m 25) but anyway, it’s rare to have an actor so young with the popularity that he has & role he has (being spider-man) but taking that & still being such a role model & kind person. Like literally U CANNOT find a video of Tom ACTUALLY being an asshole to someone & if u some how do, I’m sure there’s context of why they deserved it. But he’s just a great role model on & off camera, and truly deserves his success & also manifested it as well. & this role in “The Crowded Room” didn’t get the praise if deserved. Which sucks because I feel like ppl either LOVE him or don’t care too much bc they think he’s overrated just bc he’s Spider-man .. & I understand why ppl think he’s not the best Spider-man but most’s argument is that Tobeys the best & I think most say that bc it’s what we grew up on. And I DID TOO! & don’t get me wrong, I also love those movies. Especially for nostalgic reasons. Regarding that, u can’t beat them fr. But based of the comics, I do think that Toms spider-man fits the original description of what it Peter Parker & the transition to spider-man & vice versa.. it’s just well put together, (character wise I mean) I just think that he plays both sides very well bc I think that Tobey played a great Peter Parker & Andrew played a great spider man.. bc I always thought that Andrew “Peter Parker seemed like he was “TOO cool” & Peter wasn’t like that I’m the comics of cartoons & Tobey’s Peter was good.. but I think mainly in the 1st movie. & honestly I think since they were the first live action they’re just praised & are the blueprints but cannon while I think it’s gassed & toms over all performance fits the description of cannon more. IMO!! But Shit .. my comments been so long so far. But like I said, it’s truly rare to have an actor like him that’s so respectful & talented at his age. & I think that his range as an actor goes unnoticed by most of the viewers & probably by some of the industry as well. He gets over looked bc of his role in the MCU. Him playing Danny & ALL those alters in The Crowded Room was definitely one of the hardest roles to play out of any role in Hollywood that was filming in 2022 .. & it most definitely should be respected more. & I truly believe that he’s one of the only actors in Hollywood that will continue to keep the same humbleness & good guy personality & persona in the next decade or 2. When most of the other actors b4 him already & even ones around his age have fallen to all the BS in that industry. I honestly Won’t be surprised to see the next ones that make it to the main stream status of actors like he is right now & then see them fall to all of the BS before anybody can say he has. Even be ever does. I just feel like musically & acting has levels to it. & you can tell when you’re ELITE of ELITE. & most ppl that are in positions like him, are on some very different & subliminal demonic weird shit.. that’s why I respect him. Whatever I won’t talk about that. I already chatted too much about bro whoever read all this def think I’m glazing lmfao. Can’t wait to see what he brings next & I hope he keeps challenging his roles & takes parts that are different like this show cuz we need more out of the box projects

[@juanmiguelhilado9120]

I’m hoping tom would play a role in a horror thriller theme that would really scare us that it will leave an impact on us

[@tkh1231]

Seriously, you have one of the best actors living with you. Zendaya! Her acting in Euphoria as a drug addict, which won her two Emmys was pure amazing.

He is already losing weight for Fred Astaire and it shows in his face ( he’s still very beautiful though )l can’t ever picture him as Fred because he was nearly bald even when he was young and Tom has soooo much hair

[@margaretboyd4747]

I loved chaos walking

[@goldengooner5654]

Amazing Acting, Oscar Worthy, but don't you think the titles naming the book "the minds of" gave it away, and at the end the 1st credit says "if you know someone who needs help" Also I don't get why they called Aria a girl, it was sex between 2 men, how can Jerome call him a woman, he has no boobs or a woman's body, he was not even wearing women's clothing all he done was have a bit of makeup on. So I never understood that why keep calling Danny a woman, he was not. The final court scene broke me in half and how could he ever forgive his mother. So the abuser got away with it I guess? As you can't believe the testimony of a Mental patient ?

[@margaretboyd4747]

As akiva and Tom have said it’s not for the audience to be shocked at did it’s about Danny slowly coming to the realization that he has did
