Which guest surprised you with his/her knowledge of the craft?


don't mention guests like Meryl Streep who you expected to articulate her understanding of acting

reply

The only guests who have demonstrated their knowledge of his/her craft are those who have had EXPERIENCE and TRAINING in acting, and are able to articulate their craft in a way that actors can learn from.

I'm not taking about recent guests these days where it's all about self-promotion....like Mr. Combs.

Dustin Hoffman. His interview is by far the best ever in the series.

Robert De Niro was quite surprising.

Laura Linney was fantastic.

Josh Brolin....

As I stated before on another post, it was my favorite IAS interview. However, I think it was because it was so surprising. I always thought that Brolin fell into acting on the account of his father. However, he really studied the craft...especially with Anthony Zerbe...amazing surprise.



Yay! The crazy person is here!

Why exactly would he be a surprise? Wouldn't you expect that from him?
