Thankyou Jonathan Pryce for all your
acting work across all genres of Cinema and Theatre, Thankyou. From Tom in Sydney NSW Australia.
I really enjoy listening to Mr. Pryce talk about his acting career. He's so humble and funny. I await the day I get to meet him in the flesh.
Fantastic Jonathan Pryce 👏👏👏
Such a great person and an amazing actor!!! I loved every second of this talk!!
Very sad, but yet very touching tribute to River Phoenix. That was nice. I'm a huge Jonathan Pryce fan, but I'm also a big fan of River Phoenix's work in several films too. It's a brilliant career retrospective interview. One of the best I think I have ever seen.
Such a great and underrated Bond villain
I thoroughly enjoyed listening and seeing this interview.
Me too!
"Two weeks later, she left her husband and I left my wife. that was 42 years ago."
I've really believed that a fly had turned up unexpectedly to the scene and Hopkins just kept going. He is fantastic!!!
Wonder sense of humour! :) such a nice person 👍🏻
his voice has changed alot since brazil.
What a traumatic experience when growing up
Well, now Pryce can answer his emails from Hopkins as "Sir Number 1".
Please do one with Mark rylance

where’s an Anthony Hopkins interview ??
He resigned. He is in a routine of prayer and enclosure.
