- Don't miss this episode of "In Conversation" featuring Austin Butler! Hear great stories and get advice from this incredibly talented actor as he is interviewed by his acting coach, Howard Fine!
Just saw Elvis. Wow. This man is a star.
Yes!!
I think shy people are more humble and this certainly describes Austin Butler to a tee. He comes across very thoughtful and kind. LOVE THAT.
He is such a doll. Sweet, self effacing, dedicated, honest and respectful. A true craftsman who is such a delight to watch and listen to. His star shines bright. ❤️
I hope so. But I just don't see him having a multi oscar career like Daniel Day-Lewis. I think he's going to be one and done like Matt Damon and Cuba Gooding Jr. I also think the massive overexposure prior to the oscars hurt him
Austin is so humble. This guy is going to be big. Amen.
Amen.
Guy? Uh, guess again! Exactly like the 100% fake manufactured Elvis the 100% female born pelvis/Trump woman, that so called 100% fake named 100% manufactured Austin Butler is a Testosterone infested T-woman with a very obvious Adam's Apple Implant in her neck! Please do notice her ever present hands in her pockets to hide her very W I D E hips from your view! Please do not let any of these vile dn ǝpıs uʍop gendered Hellywood parasite creatures fool you! Please don't!
Amen. Hallelujah ! May the lord guide our brother Austin to prosperity
Maar het word nooit geen elvis Presley
Daar is er maar één van
so wild hearing him talk about turning down "the big studio film" and doing the iceman cometh play even though his agent didn't think he should do it - like little did he know his cast mate denzel washington would go on to call baz luhrmann and vouch for him (without even telling austin) because of the incredible work ethic he displayed for iceman cometh. he wouldn't have gotten that if he'd done the studio film. just goes to show how following your gut and doing what you think is right for you, and just you, pays off massively. super inspiring, can't wait to see what's next for him!
I don’t know if Denzel vouching for him is what got him the part, but it says a lot when a titan like Denzel will cold call a huge director like Baz Luhrmann about you. Also I think it is beautiful that Denzel did that for him
Great point though: he wouldn’t have that connection if it were not for trusting his gut. I think Denzel is so respected even among movie goers that maybe this knowledge legitimizes him to a group outside that 18-35 age range
on an austin marathon after seeing elvis 3 times🔥
he always talks with so much details it's nice to hear him
Those who say Austin’s putting on the Elvis voice you can hear it didn’t really change all that much. He’s still got his deep voice here. The higher tones of his voice here sound only slightly higher than it does now
This was bittersweet, he was so nervous, so anxious, and it just tells me how little confidence he had in himself, it broke my heart, but thankfully, seeing him now, how he is way more relaxed, more at ease, shows he gained confidence in himself, and truly thank God for that, he has such a beautiful and gentle soul, I wish him all the best, all the success, all the stability, may God bless him always in every single moment, every single step.
He seems like he was building his confidence: I feel like you got to see who he is some more but maybe that is just the benefit of a long form interview. I wonder how it would go if he sat down to do another hour sit down with Howard Fine now!
I pray that God will give him faith that endures and that he never loses who he is. He doesn’t need to get lost in the sauce, he is the sauce and brings so much flavor to every room he is in. I hope he remembers that and I hope he has more wonderful Christian examples like he had in Denzel Washington guiding him… because he’s ready to fly! So humble is our man. Love him God bless him
He strikes me as a completely gorgeous friend to have. He seems so honest and sincere.
I see real and sensitive and true..nerves ok but really real xoxox Oscar please he has earned it sooooooooo much xoxox Very touching really xoxoxo
My thoughts exactly.
I'm so glad Austin's career is blowing up. He deserves it. I only remember seeing him on iCarly ages ago and he has come such a long way. He is a star now and will continue to shine. So happy for you Austin!!!
I'm 68 years old . . . and never have I been so taken by any actor. I never was an Elvis fan however because of this young man, this Austin Butler, I'm more excited to see this film than any ever before. When for the first time ever learning about Austin while watching an "Elvis" interview a few days ago - my initial thought was that he strikes me as a new Brad Pitt. Then another several interviews and I saw a young Jimmy Stewart in him. Then after another round of more interviews and news clips where Austin was in Elvis costume I saw a young John Travolta. Then after another long evening of immersing myself in everything Austin Butler I even saw the essence of a young Rowdy Yates aka Clint Eastwood. To me? This man is destined to be a BIG movie star. His humbleness, his graciousness, his desire to keep himself grounded and growing as a person and actor just simply knocks my socks off. This interview shows he's been that same person all along. Just WOW!!! * EDIT . . . one more actor he reminds me of - Timothy Olyphant.
I too am 68 and after being impressed with his Elvis interviews, came here to see if he was the same incredible man in the past or if it was "staged". I'm so grateful to see that he is. After reading your comment, I realized that you are correct about his similarities with other actors who I respect. I appreciate your perspective and agree with you! I'm planning on seeing the movie this weekend.
@@Oceangirl_505 . . . how lovely of you to write and share YOUR story - and I love how they align! Too bad we cannot see it together - wouldn't THAT be a hoot!!! I'm in Florida . . . where you be??? I'm hoping to see ELVIS this weekend, too . . . with my daughter and DIL - hoping!!!
if you've never been an elvis fan, you probably don't understand soul, depth artistry and diversity.
because that's what elvis presley was.
soul, depth, artistry and diversity personified
@@bradhuskers . . . hope I don't disappoint - but I do have a deep appreciation for soul, depth of artistry and diversity of most all genres of music. I fully understand and give credit to ELVIS for what he did to change music for forever. Not sure why you felt compelled to write what you wrote to me seeing as you have zero knowledge of me nor my value of music. Regardless - I wish you a lovely day!
@@EklectikaAaynne
I was curious at how you were never a fan?
Anyone who truly appreciates soul depth and diversity, would surely get emotional as elvis belts out "if I can dream" as Dr king and Bobby Kennedy are assassinated.
But I digress........
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
we need another one of these!! i’d love to hear what his current reflections on acting are since he’s done elvis and masters of the air!
He gives me Johnny Depp vibes. He’s shy, humble, soft spoken and thoughtful. Depp is all of those things and an amazing character actor. Austin is now one of the most phenomenal character actors as well. I adore him. I’ve seen a lot of interviews after seeing “Elvis” and he’s like this in every single one. I adore him.
100%
Glad I’m not the only one. His Elvis reminds me of Johnny’s Hunter S.
After I learned he was on kids shows like Johnny was on 21Jump, playing Elvis will cement him as a “cool” actor. Actors like DiCaprio are too polished.
Austin’s probably gonna be in some weird movies, that’ll be gems because of him
I think exactly the same, I think Austin sounds a lot more like Johnny than Elvis.
Austin did an amazing ELVIS and ELVIS is very unique. That's not easy at all! Great actor, this young man!
For some of us, we're getting to see an earlier Austin after the release of effort in the Elvis biopic in 2022. It's good to see and hear how he has conversations, telling anecdotes about how he has learned from good and bad experiences. Also he does show some nervousness, yet responds to others in the room.
“Doing things that I hope future characters would do”. Little did he know he was playing guitar as a kid for 8 hours a day to one day transform into Elvis! Fascinating how that paid off and how in general things pay off in life.
he’s so nervous lol 😭 it’s funny i love him he’s so silly
Well spoken, humble, smart, talented and a true class act. We need more people like Austin❤ loved this interview
Honestly, I'll be the first of the very few to admit on a random video that captures his true essence that growing up I always disliked him. This came from the fact they casted him to be a draw to the female protagonists of each of the shows he's been on and honestly it came through sheer jealousy.. I was envious that he was blonde, cute to the females and could capture the hearts of many easily where I've struggled. But now I've come to appreciate him and im intrigued in his work, when he played Tex I was amazed at his ability to really show us an insight to the character. Now looking at this video, noticing his hand gestures I can see we are not that different anxiety wise. Moral of the story: do not judge a book by its cover.
It seems as though Howard Fine barely even needs to use words but he is so articulate and able to direct Austin where the best answer within his experiences are!
As a severe introvert I actually relate to Austin ( and his discomfort as well as work ethic). It is quite beautiful how deeply he is willing to share his experiences within himself, answering as clearly and honestly as possibly. I wasn’t aware of his career before Elvis. I’m intrigued by his willingness to share and am impressed by his growth and talent.
Absolutely they have such a good connection!
I saw an interview Howard did about a month ago where he said something like it was being a proud dad when Austin went to the Oscars. Love that
I love when he says "absolutely, I'm nervous right now". I love how truthful he is!!!
Yeah that was awesome: if he ever seems to get a vibe that he comes off as being unrelateable or too good for anything he is so quick to be like “I feel self conscious any time I talk about acting because I feel like anything you say about it can come off so self important and pretentious”. Baz was with him and with a patient smirk just patted him on the shoulder like “cheer up darling” 😂
The part about carrying the emotions months after the play and how best to deal with that for your own mental health was such an important point
I’ve watched this interview so many times now. Please, please have a follow up interview post-Elvis! I’d love to hear more! And I wish so much someone would’ve filmed one night of Iceman Cometh. I’m so intrigued that Austin memorized an entire four hour play before showing up on day one. And he had gotten such great compliments from his work on that play and Denzel felt compelled to call Baz about it!
I love that Austin considers other actors, singers, etc who aren't famous part of "his tribe". It's true that there is an understanding and kindred spirit among creative theater minds, but it's easy to also compare ourselves to one another as we learn and practice our craft. Austin's final comment shows a humble, teachable spirit which sets him apart from many.
I'm warching this interview for the second time. Austin had just 27 years old in that time and he already shows so much maturity and deep thoughts. His essences remains the same.❤️
I love this man...he is so humble...intelligent..and one of the greatest actors I have ever seen..I am 80 yrs old..l have seen a lot of Hollywood come and go. He will be around forevermore ❤
We agree!
I am blown away by Austin! Honestly never heard of him until Elvis but I was mesmerized by him and going back to see all his work. It's so incredible to watch this knowing what is coming his way. He is so witty and well spoken!! I can't wait to see all the great things he will accomplish!!
I was thinking that exact thing. To think that turning down the big production allowed the play which got him a personal referral from Denzel. DENZEL! I’m struck that his thoughtfulness in interviews post Elvis is so genuine. He’s always been like this. ❤
such an articulate young man...
What a sweet guy. So talented and yet, so humble. He deserves all the success for sure.
The best interview conversation about the actual craft and not only bout promoting any movie. So much inspiration✨
Awwwwww.....Austin is simply adorable.
Very interesting chap. I like that he is committed to the craft of acting and not so much the fame as you can tell from this interview. I don't think he will end up like Elvis and be manipulated by his manager, the business or his public image. When he is talking about connecting to his soul and body and the art of acting that is very deep!! Also really enjoy his sense of humour and not taking himself too seriously. Great interview!!!!
from the historic iconic comments by President Jimmy Carter at the time of elvis's death, to the soul depth and diversity of elvis singing "if I can dream" as Dr king and Bobby Kennedy are assassinated, this beautiful film captures the humanity and artistry of elvis presley like no film before it. truly remarkable
I love everything about this. Everyone in that room must have felt so lucky to be there. He gives spontaneous but well-thought out answers. He seems truly sincere and present in the moment. I also love how he tries to look at each person who asked the question. He's not just an incrediable actor but an incredible person as well. He deserves a lot of success.
Watching this post #Elvismovie is amazing. Love you @AustinButler 😍
Amazing talent and a beautiful soul. Incredible performance in Elvis.
I love this interview. He's so spontaneous and funny!❤️
AUSTIN BUTLER IS A BIG SWEET HEART HIS DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE.
Austin is so sincere &sweet & very humble. He is very handsome & concerned about others feelings. Re: Lisa Marie's & Priscillas feelings when they saw the movie. He had big shoes to fill & he did it Portrayed Elvis magnificently. He deserves the OSCAR
& I feel the FUTURE HOLDS BIG THINGS FOR AUSTIN
I've seen him on iCarly because my grandsons watched it and I thought he was cute. Then I saw him as the cult enforcer, Tex, in Once Upon a time in Hollywood but I did not know that was Austin. He is so different as Tex in the movie and has scenes with both Leo and Brad. He is phenomenal in Elvis. I've seen Elvis 3 times now!
Austin Butler did an amazing job! What else can be said. Austin breathed- life back in Elvis and captivates the very essence of him. It’s not an original thought, so many many people and the Presley family I am sure feel the same. Thank you for given 200% of yourself in portraying such an icon figure. 🎶❤️
I have been following Austin. This is the best interview I have seen yet and I think I have watched them all. He is so human and humble. He tells so much of his past and where he has come today. He is so respected in how far he has come and we look forward to what he has in store for us.♥♥♥♥♥
this is one of the best interviews i´ve seen, Austin is an incredible person
I’m actually Gonna take Howard Fine Acting Techniques class ❤
Oh my beautiful Austin! If only he knew in exactly 4 years he would at the Oscars being nominated for the best actor in a leading role. How far he has come...I'm so proud of him ❤
And as I watch this and compare it to the interviews he has given in the past year.... The answers are identical. His values hasn't changed but he's alot more confident now!
He mentioned sacrifices and chose to do Broadway instead of a big project but that decision led to him getting a big career breakthrough with Elvis. Everything happens for a reason!
We do need more Austin Butler's.❤
He is so naturally funny e so gratefull for each experience!!! I love that!❤️
So many people have so many negativs things to say about him, without even knowing who he is, hes so hardworking and seriously talented.(and super hot)
I can't figure out why anyone would be negative. However I am negative about rami Malek and Freddie mercury not because of queen but because the movie wasn't very good. The teeth distracted me even rami said same thing. And rami doesn't deserve negative vibes. So I guess people who nevef liked elvis liked my generation did, will find fault with Austin. But he's going to do Dune 2 and that's a mean character of Feyd. I can't really imagine Austin in that part.
I am relieved to have not seen negative things. I’ve never heard an actor work so hard so consistently like him. I think young men are jealous of him because of his good looks. I’ve seen the comments! Ahaha
@@lifeissweet9826 me too i hated remi malek in bohemian rhapsody, it felt like a mockery with the teeth i couldnt take him seriously
I remember seeing Howard Fine on Dance Moms when the girls went to LA in one of the earlier season. Little Chloe and her mom seemed to like him a lot: he taught her emotional portrayal and he struck a good balance between being very kind and warm to this 10 year old girl but not treating her like a little kid. I thought he seemed very sweet and incredibly professional!
So I saw “oh no way he works with adults, how does that go?” Like I thought maybe he specialized in teaching juvenile actors.
And he works with my man Austin Butler?!?! What a cool cat.
Also lovely chat with Aus, loved hearing about his faith and how much he loved his mom. I know she is smiling down on you darlin. This talk made me feel like we got to know him as a person so thank you very much for sharing!
I’ve sern many inyerview and some of them mention’s Austin’s mother’s death, and that he talks about it.. i just feel so bad for him, he was only 23.. i can hear the pain in his voice.
Austin did a great job playing Elvis. He is so nice.
There s no words that can describe what I see in you Austin..Your really in my head.i deeply love you. I can pick up your vibes so deeply. My prayers are with you. Your angel is even smitten with you. I would deeply like to meet you. You have a God given purpose. Love you. Cindy
He's adorable and so talented. Love him in ELVIS 👏
Fantastic interview. He kept me “fully present “ the entire time. I would LOVE to see him play the part of Phantom. I would definitely be MORE fully present than the other Phantoms I’ve seen and loved....I dare say Austin Butler as Phantom would put me in another dimension!!!!!! ❤️
Wow! This hour flew by! What a fascinating interview! There’s something special about Austin that I can’t describe but it really shined through here.
He has a magnificent magnetism.
At first I thought it was Austin Powers interviewing Austin Butler. 1 million dollars!!!
Great questions I enjoyed this interview.😍I love that he is so grateful to his mom for her support. I am sure she is smiling in heaven so proud of him. Very nice guy. Excited for his future. " Be as present as possible" I love the way he tell his experiences. Thanks for sharing this interview.
I am an 80 yr old woman 👵 who is a total Elvis fan. I visited Graceland and Tupelo, MS in the 80's. Austin Butler is the embodiment of Elvis. His portrayal is beyond belief. 😍 He is so deserving of the Best Actor Academy Award. I have watched his movie several times and I will be following his career. Austin Butler is an amazing young man 👨 with a soul that is far beyond his age in years.
I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this video because it answered to all of my questions on why he's on people's minds. Because he is Austin Butler, honey. That's all u gotta know.
I did not join the FB page, but I definitely browsed the page & liked several of the posts including the one I saw of Austin Butler mentioning his Elvis performance. Thank you for this interview allowing us to get to know him more. 🤩😍
he’s a charming fellow
Great Q&A. I appreciate how much Austin values gratitude, commitment to his craft and being in the moment. His authenticity is inspiring.
Austin is Beyond phenomenal.
Austin is brilliant in the cinematographic masterpiece Elvis the movie :D
Austin when I saw your face 😉 it's weird but your face 😉 was in incredible face 😉 that caught my breath because it made my heart jump a beat 💓 i always loved Mr. E.P.from casey
I just saw this today and you do great interviews
“All the humanity washes over you.” ✅
bro is amazing
so his voice now even is deeper… is the way he speaks! i love him! and as Elvis is something out of this world 🥰😊
He is so sweet
Not to put anyone down here. Not my intention. Much love and respect to everyone who commented. I enjoyed reading these comments. I just saw the movie Saturday night. I am a huge Elvis fan. I am 57 and have loved Elvis my whole life. This young man is one of the greatest actors of all time. He just blows me away. Compare him to Brad Pitt? I don't get that. Imho, you cannot compare this man to anyone. He blows me away. He brought Elvis back to life for all of us. The film was good. Best picture, Best director and drum roll...best actor AUSTIN BUTLER. I was disappointed in the film because they didn't show the heart of Elvis. Elvis' heart was Jesus Christ. His gospel albums, music was the backbone of Elvis' career. Hollywood doesn't like Jesus or His followers and/or truth. Those of us who are true blue Elvis fans this movie was the Hollywood version of the story of Elvis not the whole truth. Not his heart. I was looking for that. However, the film is still quite good. If they had just put that in it, this film would be the best film ever made in the history of Hollywood. I was a little disappointed in Tom Hanks. His performance was good. Colonel Parker did not speak with a foreign accent. It was kinda creepy. I respect everyone's opinion. This is mine. We all see things differently. I want to see the film again. I want to own a copy of it. I am now a fan of Austin Butler and I'm sure I'm going to be watching everything he is in. He's just incredible. God bless.
this x
Have seen the film Five times … know people who have seen it 20-25 times at the theatre.
Have it on DVD now and watch as many times as I want.
I agree, he's very different from any other young actor right now. He's nothjng like Brad Pitt. However, Brad also never seems quite comfortable with his fame. Leo works so intensely and so much I don't think he has time to even reflect on fame. I hope Austin has a great and enduring career. I think he will. He has sweet grandparents.
Your Mom is so proud of you
9:45 I keep rewatching this and I don't know why 😭😭
I'm totaly in love. He's so amazing. What an incredible interview. Congrats!!!!!
I absolutely loved Austin in this movie. God has blessed you as well as us. Best of luck.
Interesting interview , insight to him beyond Elvis movie
I hope Austin will get good movies ❤️ I’ll pray for you😘
He did!
@@jcflores4656 haha yes finally 🙏😭
He did once upon a time in Hollywood before elvis, and masters of the air is probably done. Next is DUNE 2. Which will reveal how good good he is at becoming someone so different as Feyd Rautha Harkonnen.
You always get great actors and actress,es, it’s a good page, lots to learn about him, a nice, guy wants to k ow everything😊
I believe true talent that can shine starts with shyness and nervousness,. A true star for the future .A beautiful person. Decision making a big one. 😂
He's great 🤗
Great interview. 👏 enjoyed the interaction and respect between you both. Thank you for posting this. Wow, all the effort, perseverance, and honesty are inspiring to learn about Austin. I'm excited to follow Austin's career and enjoy more great work from him. He's fantastic!
Vc é mesmo especial Austin Butler....Vc está de parabéns pela atuação em Elvis.
this is so funny i love him
29:05 it led to Elvis!!! His hair was black by that point so either it was cause of the play or he already had the part by then. Either way he’s amazing 🤩🖤🤩
He was probably in the middle of working with BAZ, because he said he worked with BAZ for 5 months before he actually got the ELVIS roll. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood premiered in July & this interview took place in March. You can see him on the red carpet for O.U.A.T.I.H. with black hair, saying how grateful he is on getting the roll of ELVIS.
He was blond for the play, his talking about it in this video. czcams.com/video/D-eHAG6AzaY/video.html
This would be fun to do now, 3 years later :) and after ELVIS
Excelent!👍🏽👍🏽 but Idon’t know english and only understand a few 😢 Congrats!!
I don’t get why people are so bothered by his “new” voice after playing Elvis. To me he doesn’t sound much different now than he does here, a little deeper, raspier with an occasional accent slip but I mean, you try speaking a certain way constantly for 2 years then try to talk like you used to and see what happens
Well his voice would drop as he gets older, bec he's only 26-28 in this interview. Then being elvis for at least 2-2 1/2 years. That's gonna change his voice. For instance we moved around a lot for my father's job. We moved from Virginia which is a fairly generic southern, to Houston which is soooo texan. After only 3 months in Texas I developed a definite Texas twang which is NOT southern at all. It's an accent that also differs from one region of Texas to another. So I've never lost that Texas accent even tho as married we lived in Oklahoma for 17 years before going back to Texas. Oklahoma is similar to Texas tho.
His a good man give him a good movie break.
Your wish is granted 💅
Hahahaha
Looks like he pulled off Elvis.
From what I can see in the trailer.
Very good looking guy!
@howardfineactingstudio Do another interview with Austin soon :)
Seems he has a lot in common with Elvis.
Agreed, his mannerisms and story already seemed perfectly suited for this role
I think the job he turned down was the filmThe Devil all the time, and Tom Holland got the part, completely understand as it was praying his mothers cancer would go away. Hes a very interesting and tallented actor
Imagine using your God given gifts to discover who Austin is and how Austin can help change the world
Absolutely! What a special person
Nice looking , like Paul walker down to earth manner nice to see
omg 3 months from then he would audition and start working on elvis
mainlining theatre!
Olha como a voz dele era diferente, mudou completamente
Where is Austin’s poor step brother now? 😬 I hope he’s ok
Austin deserves Oskar
Austin what is your process for learning your line's? Do you have any advice on the best way to memorize line's? I would put it towards memorizing work for exams. Oh & I think it was a great interview, I loved it ❤❤! I can hardly wait to see more of your interviews Howard Fine! You remind me of the interviews on The Actor's Studio. Loved, Loved, Loved Loved this interview. & I am watching everything that Austin Butler has done, movies, interviews. I think he's a great young man full of respect, humble & so much talent.
Memorization is a tedious yet crucial part about doing your work as an actor. Feel free to check out our Memorization for Actors class coming up at the studio! Details can be found at the link below. :)

HIS VOICE?!?!
