Cooper and Hopper
hooper and copper
Literal boyband
Wow
Both have a love of coffee and contemplation ...
@@milagrosmagaz2240 Cooper first
stranger peaks
what a show haha
would watch
Twin Things
strange twinks
No no its a song mash up, listen to it. Its amazingly awesome!!!!!!!
Kyle MacLachlan was robbed of his Emmy for Twin Peaks: The Return, in fact, I think the entire cast was robbed of nominations. The Return was brilliantly done, so many nods to Fire Walk with Me and Twin Peaks original series, and the way it was done again, was pure genius by David Lynch and the cast work was phenomenal. David Lynch can do Twin Peaks in a million different ways and it would still feel like a brand new show each time
He played a brain-dead mute for 90% of the season what are you on can I have some??
@@nickdoyle7477 he also played a total badass evil spirit.
@@Vingul And he was dark as fuck in that role it takes skill to come off that evil.
Nick Doyle he played 5 characters: Special Agent Dale Cooper, Mr C, Dougie Jones doppelgänger, Cooper in Jones, and Richard. Each of them distinct.
So uh, yeah he was robbed
Kyle is a good actor but The Return was a self-indulgent and rather petty act of codified fuck you on the part of Lynch. The amazing thing is that TV is so shite now he largely got away with it.
Kyle MacLachlan carries himself with such grace, and humility.
Really happy to see my fathers together.
Modupe Adio lmao and you’re my dad 😗
If you say so
There's no EGO here. Just people talking seriously about how they enjoy they work and admire each other. This is not very typical in actors and I enjoyed this interview a lot.
God, I love Kyle McLachlan.
Yes he's fucking amazing
Yes he is awesome! He is. SPC. Agent Dale Cooper!
I was just about to make that comment myself when I scrolled across yours. I love Kyle so much, just his presence makes me smile he seems like such a content person
I think the best compliment you can pay David Harbour is that if you pay attention to his work on ST, he makes the actors around him better. So many of his co-stars strongest performances are with him. Millie Bobby Brown got an Emmy nomination for Season 2 and her best scenes were by far those with David Harbour. He has incredible chemistry with Winona which was apparently evident from the first scenes they ever shot for it (at the police station). He's one of those actors that others seem to get energy from.
I see a lot of comments about him coming across as pretentious. I kind of understand that since he does seem to dominate conversations at times. However, I think the man just geeks the hell out when it comes to acting. It's his whole life, from when he was very young all he wanted to do was acting so that sent him on many different paths as he pursued it. He clearly isn't all that happy with most of his work too and he talked about how he was convinced at one point that Hollywood was pretty much done with him and he would be that guy you see in the background in a lot of movies and shows. However, ST came along at the perfect time because his attitude had changed. He even pushed back on character traits of Hopper that he felt weren't right. The reason Hopper wears that hat, for example, is down to him. They even asked him when he was auditioning, "hey let's try it without the hat!" and he said, "No, I'm good!" LOL. He was at a point where he realized doing exactly as he was told all the time was keeping him in supporting and background roles I guess.
He clearly studied acting. He studied all of his heroes and tried to pin down his own methods etc. and I get the feeling he is still trying to do so and may never stop doing that. Kyle seems a lot more comfortable and at ease with it, David strikes me as the kind of guy who has to obsess over it because he has tremendous doubts about himself. That's not a bad thing though, plenty of people who create have talked about that nagging internal feeling that one day they will be "found out". It's what keeps them at their best.
I love that he really breaks it down like he does, as an aspiring director i find it extremely useful when an actor really gets to the nitty gritty of his/her process.
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 couldn't agree more! I have listened him talking about his life, his work and all I can think is that he loves so much what he does and he commits to it 100% and he's really good at, and I am really happy that someone finally got him what he deserves. I couldn't imagine anyone but David in this role, or Winona's, or Millie's.
And you're right, it may seem that sometimes during interviews with other members of the cast, he talks a lot, but he's so proud and excited that he makes me feel so happy and proud to be a fan of his and of Stranger things.
Hopper is and will be my favourite character in ST, by far. He made me in a sort of way perfect, even if the character is broken, or whatever.
True af , I have literally like watched so many interviews of him after the ST , also all the points u mentioned were there in his interviews.
He is such an adorable actor in a way that he is achieving fame later in his career and he knows how to handle that and I also kind of relate him to Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad).
I literally love both of them so much as a person and actors.
So True.
This was such a profoundly thoughtful and compassionately written comment. I love reading feedback from people who are genuinely engaged with the artists work and understand the truly challenging process they had to go through to get to where they are today. Such a pleasure to read!
"Jesus, you look good!"
"Thank you, it takes a village"
lol
No one can bring it like Kyle MacLachlan. Playing five characters in season 3 fucking flawlessly. One of the best ever.
Perhaps the black lodge and the upside down aren't too far apart
This is easily the best actor interview I have ever seen. I've watched a number of David Harbour interviews and he makes any interviewer look good, because Harbour is so thoughtful and articulate. MacLachlan takes it to a far higher level! He might be the best interviewer ever. He LISTENS and he relates to his own experiences, which are vast. It's pure magic, these two intelligent well-spoken empathetic acting veterans.
I'm now imagining what Stranger Things would be like if Agent Cooper took over the role of Hopper.
Cooper probably would have been able to win a fight against a Russian secret agent.
Cooper would’ve gone to the Russian base, killed them all, and then when it’s all over:
Diane, 3:47 a.m. just took out the Russians. Got shot in the chest twice. Lucky I’m ok.
@@nitrolucy1309 nah he would’ve drank some damn fine coffee first and a slice of cherry pie
@@pinexpple-roadto3050 haha. I heard that Kyle got sick of eating cherry pie whenever he’s interviewed or something.
MacLachlan deserves so much more praise than he gets. What a stellar actor.
Cooper and Hopper, together at last!
Now let's get Mulder in on this and we have the best spinoff ever.
Well David Duchovny is in Twin Peaks🙂
If David Duchovny shows up in the final season of Stranger Things in a scene with David Harbour that's part of an episode directed by David Lynch, the Upside Down will collide with the White Lodge and turn reality into a vortex that one can only hope we are all sucked into...
Oh... and Duchovny's character in Stranger Things should be named Foxy Mulder.
This is the crossover I always wanted holyyyy shit!!! Finally, and a great conversation as well. They both have such interesting things to say in every interview
Very happy that David Harbour has finally got a lead role. Such a brilliant character to play. He's a great actor.
Shared this over on Kyle’s IG post about this conversation. David mentioned how people tend to love the messier, grosser parts of ourselves more. It caused me to think of a quote from Guillermo Del Toro, "...perfection is unattainable. Perfection is a conceit. Perfection actually lies in fully loving the defect. I think that's perfection. It's like what the guy says in Hellboy, he says, 'We like people for their qualities; we love them for their defects.' It's true in life. It's the same."
whoever's idea this actors on actors series was a goddamn genius! never even knew what variety was before these. these are amazing
This is the best one, hands down. I've never heard someone be able to get one of David Lynch's ensemble players or himself to explain how he gets the performances. Because it is so stylized. Now I understand the Tarantino method more as well. It's not necessarily that the actor is that intuitive, it's the director knowing how to get the performance out of them. You can tell they truly respected each other's work. There was no sense of obligatory questions. Both really engaged. So good!
Kyle is Lynch's muse...
After I finished binging ST up to S3, I was obsessed with the show and watched this. Right after it, I binged TP including FWWM and The Return and here I am. I have returned and I absolutely do not regret a single thing
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. :D
that could've easily have gone another 30 minutes and continued to be substantial and interesting.
Kyle is a treasure
Anytime someone compliments David I want to cry.
This was a compelling conversation. They played well off of one another. I was captivated by them.
They both speak so eloquently about their perspectives. I love hearing them speak.
David Harbour roll in stranger things is incredibly sympathetic.. Indeed the rock of that show..
David Harbour reminds me of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Just the voice, the way he talks, the thoughtfullness and very slightly the looks.
6:14 Agent Cooper goes in for some damn good coffee!
Even if it was a joke, I *love* that Harbour asked MacLachlan about Showgirls
I remember kyle's face in that movie
This whole interview is amazing but I also love and appreciate that both of them--these two men over 40 from non social media generations--are appreciative of the cultural impact of social media and the fact that being able to compose a funny enough or poetic enough post can be skillful in and of itself.
Twin Peaks was the Stranger Things of the 90s. These two shows are legendary.
One of my favorite pairings for this show. I don't get all the hate for David Harbour. I agree he does talk a little much, but I think he's pretty cool and insightful.
David Harbour might be my new favorite actor.. would watch him in anything.
Mr.Harbour is such a joy and such a talent......a mans man with a huge heart .....completely one of a kind these days.....
Ok I can listen to David speak for days and days. His relationship with acting, process, psychology and deep philosophy is so interesting and relevant not just to actors and artists but to all us humans with deep insecurities
I could watch these two talk all day.
Actors on Actors is one of the greatest and the most interesting things that have ever been created. Two clever, talented, real people, professionals, just sit there and talk about what they wanna know about one another, share their experiences. Just brilliant. Thank you, Variety for letting Conversations like this happen.
This show has been a regular series on PBS for more than several years now, and it's always good, no matter who they have on there. I can't think of any real recent episodes I've seen, though.
I could listen to David Harbour for hours !😍Great interview !
How does a vid like this get any downvotes? Like, you don't agree with their methods or insight or experiences or . . What?
DJD &c. 😁😁Right !
Same , he is so adorable.
I literally fell in love with him after the first 4 episodes of ST and since then I m like GOD! I Love and adore this guy so much as an actor and also as a human being.😍
Kyle star of a revolutionary show that inspired everything that came after it..like x files..the sopranost..stranger things..and so on..good seeing them together
Two extremely charismatic and likable leading actors talking and straight-shooting in an authentic manner. That's awesome.
Damn fine actors! Love seeing Coop and Hop together. Can't believe it took me a year to find this gem
MacLachlan shows up on Stranger Things I would not be surprised-- nor displeased. Harbour shows up in Twin Peaks-- same.
Kyle is the proof that coffee is medicine! The guy doesn't age
Yeah, funny David Harbour says, 'You're a few years older than me?' And Kyle says, just a few.
16 year age difference, and I don't think David knew that
High cheek bones strong jaw line works every time.
Damn, the bit at 16:40 sure hits close to home. I spend much of my time alone, and definitely live in that zone of alien discomfort often. *THE FEELS*
"An understanding of his (Lynch) point of view" That puts him in a very unique position
This dynamic is great! I love how both of these awesome actors are asking actually relevant questions. They seem to be genuinely interested in each other and their process and roles instead of just filling up the time with empty questions and answers. Very cool episode!
They have such different energy but it's so engaging to watch how they interact with each other and they both have so much fun. This is one of most interesting interview.
My two favourite actors from my two favourite shows together, this is heaven
I know this is 5 years old now, but I am about to watch the finale of Twin Peaks the return with my boyfriend and his sister this weekend, after being in love with the show for years, and the film Fire walk with Me was incredible too. Cooper and Hopper's characters are the two we physically cheer for when they come on screen
Well, two of my favourite series here! And I'm really passionate about them both. Just finished watching Twin Peaks: The Return... again. :) So, this was a real treat. It's very interesting to hear actors talk about their work, like, in depth, going beyond the common pleasantries. I wish there were more content like this.
0:11-0:20
I absolutely love how Kyle was basically just like "Yeah, I fucked up, and it was hilarious."
This is an amazing, enriching conversation.
Cheif Hopper and Agent Cooper. Now that would be awesome if Coop came to investigate Hawkins
... to find a framed picture of Don Davis casually hanging on some wall inside the Department of Energy labs building. aw.
love this talk - so many golden nuggets to pick up.
I just can't stop watching this. Every moment is so interesting hearing these two awesome people having a normal conversation with each other.
Kyle MacLachlan is a national treasure, god bless him.
From 16:40 David Harbour adequately describes living with social fear. Unfortunately it doesn't wear off.
Yes it does. I’ve been through it. It’s possible
@@ramenyummm No, it doesn't. Lie to yourself all you wish.
@@chriswinston1223 you underestimate yourself too much
it doesn't "wear off". You can work through it, to get over it, but it doesn't just wear off.
"And if I’m not mistaken, the man approaching me, wearing the gun, will be Chief Jim Hopper."
Big Twin Peaks and Stranger Things fan from Romania right here! Appreciate Harbour's acknowledgement!
I love the comments section almost as much as the interview! Kyle and David are both wonderful actors and I've been following their careers with a great amount of nosiness. I find their shared talk of their approaches to character development fascinating and it was definitely an added bonus to get some insight into David Lynch's practice.
Two great actors from two similar great franchises interviewing each other, it's a match made in heaven.
11:40 is fascinating. I once had a classical guitar tutor who would guide my pieces through metaphorical description rather than focusing on a specific technique or description, for example, "play like a ballet dancer" or "imagine bells far off in the distance," and he brought out the best in my performances. Even now I can immediately recollect his style of playing and his approach to music, being at one with the instrument and shaping a narrative together.
I once had a classical guitar tutor who would hit my left hand with a ruler when I couldn't quite hold a chord because my child hands were too small
This is such a good pairing.
What a privilege to watch these two gentlemen converse.
Well said, David Harbour. It’s the idiosyncrasies and imperfections that we typically don’t like about ourselves, that oftentimes, draw others to us. Embrace them.
It was amazing how Kyle basically played 5-6 versions of himself in Twin Peaks: The Return - so much depth as an actor
Kyle knows Bill Hader?! I need to see a clip of them together
Well duh!
A podcast between these two would be my ideal listening experience ❤️❤️❤️
I’m SO glad they touched on the fact that both their shows are these cult classics. I was hoping they would.
Great one, thank you.
David Harbour has done AMAZING movies. I personally feel he should be in leading roles. He was sensational in Revolutionary Road...wish he had more scenes and dialogue. He should be in a romantic movie with Kate Winslet...they have great chemistry. I feel he is so underrated in Revolutionary Road...he's like an onion...he has SO many layers. Kyle MacLachlan in SITC as Charlotte's husband, Tray...he was quite darling in that...liked them as a couple. He's a good actor.
Very interesting interview, keep it up guys
david harbours advice at the end is really powerful stuff
my special agent
Which one?
Whoever thought of this collab- I love you
Interesting discussion, but just listening to the end...For me, it's a really nice thought that over time, in having people respond so positively and love certain things about him, that might have helped David love those things about himself more too..
my 2 favorite actors, amazing
I love how well read and intelligent David is. Not to mention handsome
I wish this was at least 2 hours!
My two favorite actors from my two favorite shows ever 😁👍
Great talk!
I always assumed the actor who portrayed Trey in SATC was just simply kind of like Trey. I didn’t understand how someone could actually be or play that aloof and odd. Now, I totally get it. Kyle Maclachan is a genius actor!!!
Great actors love both thier work dune and black mass
This is something I didn't know I needed until now
This is one of the best duos I could ask for-
my ttoo favourite shows.
Twin peaks and stranger things 🔥
When David talks about how he imagined his charakter in ST you can see how Kyle imagines him self in that role. Amazing!
Fear Is The Mind killer
But the spice must flow...even if it is only in the upside down....
It really should have been that these 2 greatest actors met each other, it's really something special
I love David harbour 😍
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
WOW FAVES 😭💖
I love this video more than my life
This is brilliant
Such a fan of David Harbour
I did not expect them to start talking about fan fiction lmaooo
Fucking love David. Cannot convince me he is not a gift to the industry you just can’t.
smart guys, a pleasure to hear them go back and forth instead of some journalist ask lame questions
"Huh, you're a law enforcement official in a weird town full of colorful characters too?"
