"magneto just needs a hug" understatement of the entire xmen franchise
-
The bar scene in Inglorious Basterds is ICONIC.
-
One of the few actors working today that elevates any film he's in.
-
He’s too modest. You can ABSOLUTELY tell that he altered his acting in Days of Future Past to better match McKellen. Whenever an actor can keep their version of a character while simultaneously matching someone else’s performance of said same character, it really is amazing.
-
He should have won an Oscar for SHAME full stop.
-
Its a shock they skipped over Alien: Covenant because he absolutely carried that film, his performance was so mesmerising and watching him play off of himself playing Walter and David was amazing with the sort of philosophical discussions they had, movie is hella flawed, but he was incredibly phenomenal in it.
-
The fact that he's not only into heavy metal, but played in a heavy metal band has peaked my appreciation for this guy
-
He's one of the best actors of his generation and the fact that he doesn't have at least one Oscar under his belt is beyond me but I'm glad he's focusing more on racing these days since he's so passionate about it.
-
The video is 17 minutes long, but it went by really quickly. He's one of those people who could read the phone book and make it compelling, so when he goes into so much detail in his performances, it's just fascinating to listen.
-
Would have been interesting to see him play Bond or even a Bond villain
-
As much as Mckellen laid the foundation for the character of magento I feel like fassbander defined it. He was absolutely riveting in his performance. He really brought a sense of gravitas to the role. He was so awesome as magneto. I loved his chemistry with mcavoy.
-
Wow Fassbender seems like a really modest and humble dude. Really makes me appreciate him even more!
-
I just realized how much of his acting is his unique voice. Most of the time he's cast as the calm and cool-headed (sometimes menacing) characters, but the way he voice each one really makes them distinct.
-
He was brilliant in Macbeth (2015). Underrated adaptation.
-
I love Michael's accent, it's just so smooth and charming, like him! Magneto is certainly the role that put him on the map, next to Hunger.
-
Guy has such a presence and charisma to him. He's always a joy to watch on the screen.
-
Such an underrated actor. He should have won an Oscar by now, he's amazing.
-
So glad you talked about Frank, one of my fav performances by him.
-
Incredibly versatile actor, not always comfortable to watch but so true and honest when he plays a part. Like him even more after this intelligent and interesting breakdown of his career, he's so down to earth in person.
-
One of the top best actors of today in everything he's in. I'm glad he's back with some new movies.
