FBI profiler Elizabeth (Megan Boone) meets career criminal Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) in the September 23rd premiere episode of The Blacklist.
Level implies that there is a hierarchy. There is, but he isn't a part of it because his idea of acting is so unique that it doesn't fit in because of its brilliance
Ultron may not have been his best work, but fun fact: that fight in Stark Tower was written entirely because the rest of the cast wanted to have a scene with him so they could watch him work. That’s how you know when someone’s on another level.
His eyes. His voice. His character. His laughter.. ALL THE ABOVE are both inviting, alluring, chilly, petrifying and mysterious.. James Spader really nailed this character. Shame on the Emmy awards, he deserves another trophy.
Jacob Politte don’t expect them to understand him %100 he is far a head of them .he planned this from beginning to perfection at the end.from A to Z even he had a plan for the closest to him when they betrayed him .this guy is on another level.i think I really want to know about his real character and he who really truly is??? Than to know about real redington !!!
Wait why cant he be Red and the bones are just as fake as the "results" that were given to liz when she was with that first Russian dude with the disease.
because it's kinda lowkey. They seem to be keeping it fresh while tying together the story. Never miss an episode. Normally crime shows get repetitive and decline or get canceled but this one has managed to top itself almost every season.
@@tominagy145 breaking bad wasn't a bad show. It was just ungodly slow in the beginning. Like someone else already mentioned, it actually started getting exciting after season 3 came around. This show got exciting practically every season.
Keen: "and I'm supposed to believe you?" ... Red: "hahahahahaha, no, of course not, I'm a criminal. Criminals are notorious liars." Spader nails this character. Good show, looking forward to more!
Spader's voice alone is intimidating enough. Putting it in an adamantium body with a supercomputer brain and armed to the teeth with weaponry that would make Tony Stark's bowels loosen is just overkill.
oh if you haven't listened to comic con audio of the avengers age of ultron footage then you should, it's totally worth listening to. James Spader's voice is dark but cool
@@spacetimeduality ya I didn't know it until I watch a clip there was chills coming down my spine and I was like who is that voice and I realize it was James spader
Even though Red told Lizzie that he wasn't her father in the mid-season finale, I always think back to his line "Criminals are notorious liars" and wonder if he lied... Tricky.
Everything about him is perfect. His facial expressions, gestures, even his tones are just synchronized with the act. He is the character not just trying to be him. Damnn
Sadly, it does not extend to audiobooks. Listening to Dean Koontz's STRANGE HIGHWAYS read by Spader, the voice becomes monotonous. He's better acting than reading.
It is magnificent how one character, played by one man, is still pulls forward this show. James Spader and his character is the only reason, I'm still watching Blacklist.
Those complaining about 'predictability' never learned about Dramatic Irony in school. Dramatic irony -- a narrative in which the reader knows something about present or future circumstances that a character in the story does not know. It doesn't make it 'bogus'. Not everything has to be a complete mystery for it to be enjoyable.
Its still one of the best shows on TV but it wouldn’t be without Spader. It’s because they insist on dragging out this secret which apparently isn’t that important meanwhile the relationship between Liz and Red depends on it. That’s the only reason people are still interested because we STILL don’t know what his intentions are.
James Spader is so awesome, his portrayal of Ultron, a robot capable of causing an Extinction Level Event, is the SECOND most badass character he has ever played!
"I'm gonna show you something beautiful. The whole world screaming for mercy. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change." Man, James Spader, i wish i had your voice:(
The two of them almost have a Hannibal Lecter and Clarisse Starling vibe beginning in this scene and continuing through the rest of the series. Well done!
I'm sure James Spader will be awesome as Ultron in "The Avengers: Age of Ultron". I hope they give Ultron a personality like this, combined with an extreme hatred of humanity and of the Avengers. That, and since he and RDJ are good friends, those two should have some amazing chemistry on screen.
Ultron - How could you be worthy? You're all killers you want to protect the world but you don't want it to change. There's only one path to peace...your extinction. I had a vision the whole world screaming for mercy. Everyone tangled in strings.....strings, there are no strings on me.
"Everything about me is a lie" is the most underrated phrase said in tv history because nobody pays attention and yet says everything about the show and the character.
He is droll, calm, face is carefully placid...until he sees Elizabeth. Then you can see the undisguised pleasure in his eyes, in his smile. For a man who seemingly had everything, he looks at though he is getting what he TRULY wants in this moment.
He's really just at a level as an actor that is nearly impossible to reach.

Everything he is and does, is a must watch show..😉
This show would be nothing without James spader. He really makes the show
It’s like he’s the main character 🤯
No way really is that so?
@Ks He appears very little in the episodes. He is not considered the main character, but only by name. He is considered the main character
He is the only reason the show has 7 seasons.
Nothing but facts
Now 9
His monologues alone could carry the show for 10 more
Don’t disrespect Dembe and Haram like that
Despite that the show should have ended at season 6... And that's being generous
“Everything about me is a lie.”
Season 5 finale revealed that to be true. The clues start here.

Everything about Liz is a lie to. He says that to her directly in the second episode
@@J.mch1979 Its pretty much 3 options He is her mom, He is the FBI Agent her mom was living with or he's someone we know nothing about.
Wait why cant he be Red and the bones are just as fake as the "results" that were given to liz when she was with that first Russian dude with the disease.
Reddington IS Reddington :) Ilya Kozlov is someone else :D
HE'S JUST SO PERFECT FOR THIS ROLE. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED
JAMES SPADER'S PERFORMANCE SKILLS
"There are no strings on me"
His way of speaking and the way he carries himself is addictive to watch, he is a brilliant actor
I've never seen a show be consistently great every season.

Spader IS this character

Is it just me or does James Spader nail every character he's given to play?

LSgrimm91 well now we know he did.
He said everything about him is a lie. This, indeed, is the truth.
@@kernlove1986 and now, apparently he isn't.. so many plot twists.
Wtf is a mid season finale?
@@thephilosophersjourney2595 ?
It's so unfair this man has never been nominated for oscars. There are many actors with not even the half of his talent and somehow won it.
Oscar's are for movies right but he should have an Emmy or two by now
Keep in mind that such awards tend to be contest of popularity amongst critics and journalists really.
@@harrys1813 He actually does have 3 Emmys for the same character on 2 different shows, "The Practice" and "Boston Legal"
Everything about him is perfect. His facial expressions, gestures, even his tones are just synchronized with the act. He is the character not just trying to be him. Damnn
After watching this season's finale, that "everything about me is a lie" line has even more meaning.
Reddington's voice is amazing
Legit first conversation, "everything about me is a lie"
This scene got me hooked on this show.
I love to hear the sound of Mr. Spader's voice. So soothing in one instance and so softly dangerous the next. Wonderful, wonderful actor.
Sadly, it does not extend to audiobooks. Listening to Dean Koontz's STRANGE HIGHWAYS read by Spader, the voice becomes monotonous. He's better acting than reading.
James is so charismatic its absurd! Awesome awesome show!!!!!!
The look Red gives her when he first sees her - - it's parental pride - - it's either the way her Dad or Mom would look at her all grown up.
Daddy meets daughter and starts a major war.
Lol he’s not her father. Still to this day can’t fathom how anyone thinks a father would stare at his daughter like this..
@@inmysoul_TLH u obvously havent watched the show dipshit
@@inmysoul_TLHit’s her mother isn’t it?
This is the scene where Elizabeth meets her mom for the first time.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
His voice is so damn sexy!
WeCaredALot Oh good! I thought it was just me. thought I just had a old man fetish
James Spader screen presence is jst outta this world!!
"im gonna make you famous lizzy" ends up being a fugitive lol
Still famous
@@irinaelena225 And now she's famous like Dillinger.
Imagine him as an older joker
Can't, I'm busy imagining him as an artificial intelligence bent on the extinction of all life on Earth.
+Laserbeak316 me 2. should i get help?
Khanh Quan Tran Nope. ^^
City Valens I was saying that! Or Lex Luthor

It is magnificent how one character, played by one man, is still pulls forward this show. James Spader and his character is the only reason, I'm still watching Blacklist.
"Of course not"... Such a welcoming yet dangerous laugh
His voice is soo amazing xD
When he says "everything about me is a lie" my eyes lit up.
I am ADDICTED to this show!!!:)
same 7 years later lol
Pov you see this after season 9 and you hear him say “everything about me is a lie”

WHAT AN AMAZING ACTOR. HE TOTALLY EMBODIES A CHARACTER & BECOMES IT.
What an actor he is!! Brilliant!!
« I’m gonna make you famous lizzy » chills. freaking chills.
Mom meets daughter
Megan Boone looks so beautiful in this scene.
It’s started off so damn well...then....puttered.. just give Mr Spader his own show centered on what he was doing the years prior to The Blacklist.
Its still one of the best shows on TV but it wouldn’t be without Spader. It’s because they insist on dragging out this secret which apparently isn’t that important meanwhile the relationship between Liz and Red depends on it. That’s the only reason people are still interested because we STILL don’t know what his intentions are.
To be fair he pulled the "Classic" criminal attribute. He didn't actually lie to her once. What he did do was just not tell her everything.
He made her really famous into most wanted list
This scene gave me serious "Clarice meets Hannibal" vibes.
“I’m gonna make you famous Lizzy” few years later. Most wanted Russian spy.
keep watching
James Spader is so awesome, his portrayal of Ultron, a robot capable of causing an Extinction Level Event, is the SECOND most badass character he has ever played!
James Spader; an example of when an Actor reaches self-actualization.
"I'm gonna show you something beautiful. The whole world screaming for mercy. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change." Man, James Spader, i wish i had your voice:(
“But if anyone can give me a second chance it’s you” 🤔
The two of them almost have a Hannibal Lecter and Clarisse Starling vibe beginning in this scene and continuing through the rest of the series. Well done!
2021 and still watching. Best show ever
it’s spader voice that is so really captivating. He would be really nice for a narrator like freeman.
I love Spader! Such an awesome an underrated actor!
0:05 the smile said everything.
"Hello Clarice"
Doug Kilgore 😄
I was thinking that too! There is a very strong Silence of the Lambs vibe here!
Lizzy meets her mother ^.^
Damn. Robert California’s life really went downhill.
Fantastic show. 📺
Best show to grace this earth. I LOVE Red!!
Such a great actor! Been watching Boston Legal 10 times or so
Katarina meets Liz
No one:
CZcams algorithm:So we have gathered here today...
Put Raymond Reddington and Hannibal Lecter in the same room. It will be a bloodbath that neither of them may not survive.
I'm watching season 8 and omg they look so young here already 8 years!
Hopefully this show carries on for 1 or 2 more seasons
The best show ive ever come across
Him being her mother took me by surprise
Can't wait to see this show. James Spader is a fantastic actor.
0:27......... "Agent Keen, what a pleasure" = "Hey baby girl"
James Spader is the only one who can pull off Raymond Reddington
1:54 that statement and that laugh made him my favorite character
Legend returns
The fact that he call her Lizzy means they were close. I still say he is her father or uncle.
In my opinion he is father.
Im only on 1x01 but my guess he is her dad or he knew her dad or mom, and promised them to watch over her.
This is quite literally Ultron in the flesh, another reason to love James Spader.
It's so interesting watching this after having watched the first three seasons, knowing Red's history and intent.
Spader is marvelous red is magnificent 💏
hemant dabas “Red”
Please could someone tell me the best website to watch The Black List on please.
what a great actor he is :)
The voice though! .... uffff......!
The King Kong cage was a bit over the top. It didn't make Red look more dangerous. It looked like they were trying too hard to sell it.
This hits different after s8 last 2 eps
what a great performance im just amazed
Remember when everyone loved Elizabeth?
I'm sure James Spader will be awesome as Ultron in "The Avengers: Age of Ultron". I hope they give Ultron a personality like this, combined with an extreme hatred of humanity and of the Avengers. That, and since he and RDJ are good friends, those two should have some amazing chemistry on screen.

I saw the second trailer (I guess "tv spot 2") and Ultron spoke and had similar movement's as James (his very known head movements)
8 years later, on june 23 wednesday 2021 elizabath keen died
Ivan and Ray Had same reaction when they met Keen for first time.
me encanta como actor y como hombre es fantástico, excelente,ojalá él pudiera leer esto y saber que acá en chile también se le quiere
So good!! :)
Everything about me is a lie, great foreshadowing
Magistral James Spader
Man, Ultron sure got a hell of a facelift.
"Everything thing about me is a lie." Damn these writers from pilot episode.Respect
"Everything about me is a lie" is the most underrated phrase said in tv history because nobody pays attention and yet says everything about the show and the character.
This scene almost reminded me when clarece meets lecter for the first time
Yeah i dont get why people think hes her father
the beginning of something great
Haha! I'm currently on season 6 and love this show!
His charisma is just amazing honestly
Something tells me that Red had nothing but fatherly pride when he saw Liz. That's just me though.
He is droll, calm, face is carefully placid...until he sees Elizabeth. Then you can see the undisguised pleasure in his eyes, in his smile.
For a man who seemingly had everything, he looks at though he is getting what he TRULY wants in this moment.
Agreed
I was waiting for William Shatner to show up and the Boston Legal theme to start playing.
"I'm Denny Crane."
He planned this to perfection from the day one what a master class even when he was stabbed in the back with one of the closest to him
1:51 no of course not😅. What an absolute impression of the character
