"I'm Paul Dano and I'm being forced to talk about myself" 😂😂 what a legend
The introverts are pleased 😂😂😂.
Introvert energy in a nutshell 👌🏽
Classic Paul Dano
Also, apparently it's "Dane-o" and not "Dan-o" (as I've always heard it).
Well he is being paid, so it's a bit silly of a thing to say. But I still like the joke.
I think Paul Dano is a tremendously underappreciated actor. You can tell he really enjoys and respects the art of acting.
@@DaveDuncanMusic There is no comparison to be made. Restructure your perception.
He is not underrated 💀
@@DaveDuncanMusic Chris Pratt is the likeable action/comedy 'blockbuster actor' always playing the same guy. Whereas Paul Dano is someone I would actually call a 'proper art actor' who plays different roles and characters. Whether you rate Paul Dano or not, he's nothing like Chris Pratt.
@@DaveDuncanMusic they aren’t even the same type of actor, Paul Dano is legit. He’s not like a movie star- he’s a legit actor.
If you know anything about cinephiles and movie critics you’d know he is lauded, praised and considered one of the best actors of his generation. Not underrated because he deserves all the praise he gets.
Prisoners one of the best movies ever. Paul Dano a modern acting legend 🙌🏿
One of the absolute BEST endings ever too!!
@@ericmsandoval do you think anyone ever heard that whistle?
@@williamdillard5060 i’m sure they find his body either way let’s be honest
@@williamdillard5060he director confirmed that he was found. I was too curious I had to check lol
@@williamdillard5060 Loki has solved every case, I like to think he solved this one too
When you act in the same scene as Daniel Day-Lewis and people remember you were in that scene, you are doing something right. He went toe to toe with DDL in every scene and that speaks volumes. Amazing actor, one of the best of his generation.
Totally agree ❤
Spot on comment, Paul Dano doesn't get the recognition he DESERVE
Yes he's great in TWBB and he certainly holds his own. Wonderful actor.
Unfortunately, when I saw There Will be Blood for the fist time, and I really didn't know anything about it at all, what I've notice emediately that Paul Dano was outclassed in every sense. I was annoyed by him, not as a character but as a screen presence. It looked off, I was wondering "why this guy", but over time I grew to like him and precisely because he is so off, his character fits that particular idea of a fake clergymen. It is that striking difference that reflects the hard core capitalism and hard core perversion of religion. It is very "meta" in that sense. Where I think Paul shined is the Looper for some reason. He is definitely memorable actor and now I actually want to see him more on screen because he is quirky and original, I think. I am not blown away with his performance like I was with Daniel Day Lewis, that was incomparable to anything else in cinema, but Paul adds something, its like a dish that has that one spice, it doesn't make the dish but without it it would be very different overall impression.
the about incredible actors like Day-Lewis is that it makes the other actors/actresses jobs much easier; its easy to fall into character when your cast mates are so convincing with their performances
Imagine starring in a movie with Daniel Day Lewis and not embarrassing yourself in comparison. Legendary performance in There Will Be Blood.
on two day notice!
I'd say most actors who have been in a movie with him have at least been competent.
Who?
freaks my nut he was only about 22 when they filmed TWBB
GET OOOUT OF HERE GHOST
One of the things I find really interesting about Paul is how carefully he curates his roles. He always seems to pick movies that are both really interesting and provides him a new challenge as an actor. I’m also so glad he’s getting more mainstream attention post Batman, he’s such a talented actor and criminally underrated!
Tasha W. Who the heck is “underrating” him?! He’s worked with Villeneuve and PTA!
@@chriswright4677 casual movie fans I'd say, hence Tasha's choice to use "mainstream attention"
People will tell you their favourite actors are the likes of Dicaprio or Cruise etc, no one ever really says Dano unless they are real cinophiles
@@chriswright4677 You’re right to an extent, but Paul’s mostly done indie movies and played supporting roles pre Batman (with a couple of small roles in larger movies) so the majority of people probably don’t immediately go to him when you say talented actors. I see him as an actors/directors actor, plus he doesn’t have social media and lives a pretty chill life so he’s not in the spotlight as much as some other celebs. Also his lack of Oscar noms or awards despite his mad talent might have something to do with it as well. Paul Dano shouldn’t be underrated but when talking to non filmy people he’s not quite a household name, but I hope that changes soon!
He is very talented and is a great character actor, however he’s been typecast alot as mentally unstable/ pathetic characters who get beat up alot. I’d love to see him in a Quentin Tarantino film.
"criminally"
Criminally underrated actor! He deserves more complex, well written roles!
There it is, the “underrated” post
How is he underrated? He's widely regarded as an incredible character actor. Just because he's not in 200 million dollar superhero movies, doesn't mean he's underrated. Did you ever think he chooses these smaller niche roles?
Underrated? He's played some awesome roles... in fact, some of the best roles in recent years.
@@kevinconway2965 you mean 200 million super hero movies like "The Batman" which he is in?
@@reutermo That was his twin brother Raul Dano
This was a great reminder of how many incredible films he’s been in. Truly one of the best actors around
Insane. What a philmography!
I disagree upon reviewing his performance in fablemans
Paul Dano is a generational talent who is getting picked for the hardest roles. Not the shiniest always, but always the hardest. That tells a lot.
He often picks characters who are hard to like or love and gives them justice every single time. Imagine being only 22 nad keeping up with Daniel Day-Lewis in one of his best performances ever. So talented and so passionate about his craft, I have nothing but admiration for Paul Dano.
'The hardest roles' - What does that mean?
He was great in 12 Years a Slave too, surprised that one didn’t come up. Dude is just super talented in every role he plays, not to mention he’s an excellent director
Yeah, I really wanna know who picks the movies/shows and how.
facts man, ironically just watched wildlife for the first time the other night and thought it was very unique
21:40
And Taking Lives man, I loved him in that movie
maybe because every other actor in that film was superior in every way lol
Paul is sneaky, you don't realize all the parts that you've seen him in over the years because you don't see "Paul Dano". He really becomes these characters and everything else kind of falls away including Paul. You believe you're seeing a real person not someone pretending to be that person. I hope this makes sense lol.
Totally get that! Tilda Swinton is like that for actresses 👏🏼
Yes it’s called acting!
A lot like Gary Oldman. Finding out he was Sirius Black, Commissioner Gordon, AND Lord Shen
Also he kind of has a plain face that doesn’t stand out. Like he’s not super attractive and doesn’t have many distinctive features that would make him noticeable so you just don’t remember him. He kind of just looks like a random nobody
Yeah dude! I still see him as Eli whichever movie he's in.
His van scene with the loss of his dream/passion in Little Miss Sunshine is one of my favorite performances of his.
People who can play deeply unsettling yet strikingly fragile characters have always been some of the most fun to watch, and Dano is definitely on that list.
Perfect way to put it
Great way to put that! I'm gonna remember this for when I write
Can someone say some other actors who do this type of characters?? i'd like to watch more films like that 💗
good point
@@mtrancee Željko Ivanek pulls it off pretty well I think. He doesn't always play roles where this dichotomy comes to mind, but they're always very captivating.
Everyone in prisoners is at their absolute peak. Ridiculously incredible film.
💯
One of my favorites for sure
Definitely one of the most memorable movies I've ever seen. Watched it twice, but I don't think I ever wanna see it again
Although Gyllenhaal is just next level in that one, really mysterious and authentic,extremely snubbed for awards. The whole movie is,mindboggling only the cinematography got nommed.
One of the best movies ever.
This dude is so talented. You know a movie is gonna be good just because he is in it. Really impressed by his performances!
He was great in everything but as the riddler i was definitely dissatisfied. A very overrated performance, id argue it was bad.
@@Coal-RubL He was good when he wasn’t dragging out words and sentences. Like when his interrogation scene with Batman towards the end.
@@Coal-RubL agreed. Didnt like his performance at all.
First time I saw him was The Giirl next Door and instantly loved him. Couldnt admire him more in There will be Blood and just saw him in the Fablemans, just perfect. He's definitely one of my favorite actors.
I saw him first there too hahaha, epic performance
The fablemans is fantastic
The tripod
In sopranos too!
Little Miss Sunshine is one of my favorite movies of all time. his relationship with his sister Olive is unbelievably beautiful
easily the most wholesome and one of the best movies of all time.
the whole cast is just stellar
@@a.b.h.i.j.i.t.h wholesome without ever feeling fake life is full of ups and downs less produced like most movies of that genre it’s definitely something I feel can only be achieved if the cast feels like a family they all felt close even at the beginning when the distance is at its peak.
Paul Dano was cast as Dwayne two years before production began and in preparation for portraying his character, spent a few days taking his own vow of silence.
Paul Dano is definitely one of the most underrated actors of his generation. It's a crime he didn't get an Oscar nomination for "There Will Be Blood".
Also his performance in " Love & Mercy" is just wonderful.
Love & Mercy is itself incredibly underrated.
@@TheOctoberOwl Yes! Love & Mercy is my favorite biopic film. He really should have gotten an Oscar nomination for that role.
those who know, they know
@@Missjunebugfreak yessss!!!! I loved that film and he was SO freakin’ good in it!
@@calisongbird He played Brian Wilson so beautifully. Easily one of the best performances in a biopic I've seen. Such a special film.
Almost 40 and still looks 16. Much love to this genius! His performances are unforgettable.
this is a lie
He’s aged a bit this past year but it’s natural. I loved how he looked in There Will Be Blood, I think that was his peak.
@@localshithead7430 he's just amazing in that film
This guy is 100% the real deal, absolute nails everything he does.
I just watched prisoner . Guy is unbelievable
Its wild how I think he ruins every character he does. Everyone in the theater was laughing at how lame he is in the new Batman. Different strokes I guess, lol
Amen.
I'd be rich and famous if I looked like a human ladle too smh
Paul Dano is one of the most genuine people in Hollywood. No twitter, no BS, just dedication to the craft. The only complaints I have about this video is it left out War and Peace, one of his greatest roles to date (and left in Knight and Day, for some reason). Otherwise this is perfect, such a great dive into his best roles. Can't wait for Fabelmans!
I would say they mention Knight and Day for diversity. Those videos should be more in-depth and about hour long though.
Totally agree.
No War and Peace?? What! I'm Russian, did read it, love Paul Dano, was excited when they told us he'd play Pierre. And boy, did he deliver! I was overjoyed with his portrayal.
That’s because these are advertisements for movies disguised as interviews.
@@AlightingOnAir Sure, these are ads, but not all the movies they talk about have to be. Just watch other actors' videos.
Little Miss Sunshine is my comfort movie, whenever I'm sad I watch that movie- and I'm literally so much happier. I love Paul as a person, and an actor.
Honestly! Such a lovely movie
same!!
For me too!
Abigail Breslin's performance alone is enough to make the movie extremely warming and feel good
I’m figuratively so much happier 🙄
Love and Mercy and his portrayal of Brian Wilson is one of the most underrated performances I’ve ever seen. In fact that movie alone is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. It’s so insanely well done, captivating, beautiful and extremely underrated. Paul Dano is an amazingly gifted actor.
Love and Mercy is great! I didn't know anything about the Beach Boys and their music. (I'm French-Canadian.)
Same
I love how he talks about his roles. Really feels like he approaches it as an artist which feels much more genuine than hearing other actors speak about their roles. Looking forward to watching more of his movies
I love how he looks like a human ladle
He's had a lot of good roles. He's someone who takes the art seriously and has been in a lot of great films. Absolutely phenomenal in There Will Be Blood.
And it’s almost impossible to shine next to DDD!
Dano was awesome! 💥💥💥
Paul Dano has one of the best curatory instincts in the industry. It's a good sign when you see his name on a poster - not just because you know he'll crush the performance, but also because he picks the best movies to star in
Looper was meh...
Your comment was just read to him on hot ones. Check it out!
this was read to him on hot ones! he says thank you
@@ElEric17 duration? I couldn't find that part
He is one of the most underrated actors of his generation. He is like the Gary Oldman of his generation and deserves an Oscar. You put The Girl Next Door, Prisoners, There Will Be Blood and Fablemans together and you can see why he is such a versatile actor.
Exactly
Klitz!
He seems like such a noble, wonderful man. He deserves an Oscar for his kindness alone. The Academy Awards of late has degraded into an unsafe thug fest. It needs someone like this man to bring dignity and sincere nobility to it.
paul dano plays incredibly hard roles and that shows a lot about how talented he is
Paul Dano yelling and screaming is my favourite genre of cinema.
No no no no no no no no no nooooo!!!
He’s always yelling or screaming in every movie he’s in
@@supersucks he’s also always getting beat up 💀
@@Msechop *getting payed* to get beat up lol 🎯🎯
Get out of here ghost! Geeeeeett ooouuutt of here ghost
Swiss army man is one of the most underrated films to date. That film is incredible and original which is something that lacks in many movies lately. Daniel and Paul knocked it out of the park with their performances. I cannot get tired of talking about that film I could go on for hours. I always recommend it to anyone in a close proximity to me 😂 it’s one of those films that I would understand if it isn’t for you but I now for certain it will hit deeply to those who need it at that moment. That film came out when I was going through one of the worst times of my life and it was just what I needed. Definitely my favorite film. Plot 10/10 cinematography 10/10 performance 10/10 soundtrack 100/10.
I love it. It's like surreal and arty but has real heart, too. Beautifully crafted.
Yes!!! One of my favorite movies of all time!! They both had a great performance, there was stunning cinematography, and an insanely wonderful soundtrack that I could talk about for hours!!! It's amazing
It’s on my list but I was recommended it as I fell in love with Everything Everywhere All at Once which was also directed by the Daniels. Highly recommend that!
Watching it tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.
People keeping mentioning the phenomenal soundtrack, if you want more check out the band that did it, Manchester Orchestra :)
Prisoners is criminally underrated
Can't believe they left War and Peace out of this, one of his best performances and definitely a breakthrough!
Yeah was really surprised by that as well..
Yes and thanks for letting me know. I won't bother watching the rest.
It amazes me that Paul Dano is almost 40 years old. One of my favorite things ive ever seen Paul Dano do is drop a movie in an interview where he is looking through a library of film. He played it off in the most hilarious way possible. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this bro.
I don't necessarily think he looks younger than 40; it's really no age these days anyways. He just looks like an adult with childlike features. It's kind of a jarring blend.
how infantilising lol plus he’s not old, he just has slightly boyish features
@@ririschannelx you obviously don’t know what infantilizing means…op purely said they can’t believe that he is almost 40. This can mean that he’s surprised so much time has passed and now he’s at that age because some ppl have been fans of him for years. In no way were they treating him like a child or denying his maturity. Stop using words like this when you obviously don’t know what it means.
bro he looks like me and i’m 20
Really? I honestly thought he was in bad health because his face is all swollen and puffy, only to see he’s just aged really fast. I could easily mistake him for 50 maybe 52
First saw him in "The Girl Next Door." To see his transformation as an actor in Batman was amazing. He's one of my favorite actors. He never picks a bad role for himself, plays within his range of characters, and does an incredible acting job. Can't wait to see what else me makes.
That’s where I’ve seen him before the Batman. I couldn’t put my finger on it
Kiltz legend
Ahhh, a man of culture!
i was hoping he'd talk about this film. very hilarious 'chick flick'...holds up to this day for sure.
I still see him constantly in that role 🤷😅
Absolute freaking lightning rod of an actor.
Completely holds his own against Day-Lewis in some seemingly demanding scenes in There Will Be Blood (Two roles in that, actually!). Very skilled actor, to my reckoning.
The first thing I ever saw him in was "Taking Lives" back in 2004. He was only in the opening sequence, playing the antagonist in his youth, but his brief performance was both nuanced and powerful.
This guy has an insane career. You tend to forget it, but then you watch the list of movies and they are most of them good or great
That's because he's an incredible actor.
Taking Lives!
besides riddler wasnt he just side characters in movies i mean even in batman he was a side character.
@@Tolandruth he's the main character in Love and Mercy, Swiss army man and Ruby sparks. In Little miss sunshine his arc is arguably the most important to the film. TWBB he is the antagonist to ddl and in batman, though masked, his acting is still important. As far as I know in all of his best films he is part of the main cast.
@@Tolandruth its not just the main character who makes a movie great
Prisoners was one of the top 3 movies of last decade. There should have been multiple oscar nominations just in acting alone.
I agree. criminally underrated movie.
ridiculously slept on. It's an unbelievable masterpiece
I agree with all these comments.
Prisoners is one of the hardest to watch movies I’ve ever seen but his performance was amazing. I also loved him in Swiss Army Man even though I’m not sure I got it lol. Very strange movie.
God, I love Paul Dano. LMS was the first I saw him in of course, but I don't think he's ever done a role that I've disliked. His range is phenomenal. Glad he's getting the recognition and appreciation I truly believe he deserves.
Love & Mercy is hands down his best performance. Truly captures and fully realises the weird and wonderful world of Brian Wilson. If you haven’t seen it you owe it to yourself to see it.
One of my all time favorites. Saw it upon theatre release and now own the Blu Ray. Have watched many times. 💕
Man, Love & Mercy is probably one of the best music movies of all time. I would say that and Control(the joy division biopic) are masterpieces
Really brilliant performance. Cusack was pretty great too.
Have you never seen L.I.E. Dude you have severely not seen an amazing performance.
@@alex11v3 love your profile pic
Not his most iconic role, but he played in one of the best yet underrated movies, Prisoners
one of his most iconic roles, in my opinion.
@@ultimatesportsmedicine4395 could not agree more
Prisoners is not talked about enough. It's one of the best movies.
Prisoners is hardly underrated
i would says it’s his best actually
Favorite character of his is Klitz in The Girl Next Door with Emile Hirsh
I had no idea Paul was writing that comic. It's really good so far.
This might be one of your best "Iconic" interviews, he's so sincere and considerate while talking about the productions themsleves, not just himself.
You can tell he's in it for the passion. The way he embodies each movie, many elaborate processes, so immersive. Brilliant actor.
Wow. I'm completely charmed by Paul Dano.
An amazing actor, his performance in prisoners is so well acted and the rest of the cast kills it too!
Paul nailed the role as The Riddler.
nnnnooooooooOOOOOOOOOO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!
Aaaaaaaveeeeee Marriiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Agreed. He exuded "on the spectrum" energy.
@@AIKnowYou kind of a weird label to assign a psychopath but ok.
@@AIKnowYou bro it’s ok u can say autistic it’s not a bad word
Little Miss Sunshine is inarguably one of the best films ever made; and he helped make that character so outstanding. Bravo, Paul Dano. Wishing him nothing but continued success.
One of the better actors of his generation. Mad respect for him.
He plays so many memorable characters. I waited too long to watch Swiss Army Man, that movie was crazy but really good.
he seems very sure of himself and his capabilities as an actor. i've never watched him in a role where i felt it was too big or too small for him - it's like he brings all of himself up because he's confident he made the right choice with selecting the characters he plays. i hope his career is this colourful for a long time!
I wish he'd talked about his Pierre in War and Peace because he was so marvelous in that role. Pierre is the heart of that mammoth epic story, and Paul brought such depth of feeling to his portrayal of the character. Wonderful actor!
Thank you! Paul made me cry when he at the POTATO... what other actor in Hollywood could do that??
Yes i was waiting for that too! The production definitely had its weak points, but Paul’s performance was its strongest point
Seconded!
My favorite mini series!!!
First saw Paul when the batman came out. I have now watched 5 of his films and two more on dvd on the way. He is so polite and funny and just makes me so happy. Thank you for being you Paul!
Escape at Dannemora was brilliant. He was fabulous! Glad they included it in this video.
Prisoners is such an underrated Film, his role alongside Hugh and Jake with that writing makes it an incredible film
Such an underrated actor , most people don’t even know who Paul Dano even is! Luckily Matt Reeves brought him on to play the riddler which was well earned.
100%. I love him in Swiss Army Man
@@tenthofadime5657 love that film. and the directors are fantastic
@@tenthofadime5657 yes!!!!

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ simp
Pretty clear when we was talking about There Will be Blood that they were all on an entirely different level and he did a great job talking honestly about his experience
Pauls performances always have so much strength behind them. Such a great actor
I'm so glad that he mentioned the way that Daniel Day Lewis delivered the "I'm finished!" line at the end of There Will Be Blood. I've always wondered if it was written on the page the way that he says it. Because he delivers the line like he's saying that he's finished with his dinner and calling to his butler to come clear the tray. It's so specific and unusual. I'm guessing that on the page it was supposed to be him kind of muttering to himself or talking to the corpse. My god, what a brilliant film.
If I remember properly, at the beginning of the film when Daniel's character gets hurt (breaks his leg?), he does say out loud something like "not now, I'm not done". I always thought the "I'm finished!" was a reference to that. He's got his riches, he's found his oil and now he's got rid of the one obstacle in his way.
He was so convincing as the character he played in There Will Be Blood.
We all felt so bad for him. 😅
Never watched this movie... Hmmm i guess i finally should
@@michaeladolph7134 one of the greatest films of this generation. Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano are incredible. Highly recommend.
Dude has a legit unbelievable catalogue
Incredible actor. I'm happy that his career is so versatile. One day he'll receive a well deserved Oscar.
I love his role in The Girl Next Door (2004). It's my favorite teen romcom
One of the best and most underrated and underutilized actors in Hollywood. I love the stuff he’s been in, but I feel like he could play many more major roles better than most other actors.
I wish he’d mentioned himself in the TV miniseries War and Peace, he was brilliant in that. Highly recommend
Thank you Paul, thank you for all of your performances and everything that goes into bringing them to us.
This dude has always delivered great acting in all his roles very underrated
They should of mentioned War and Peace, seriously one of the best performances he’s done
I love that mini series everyone was truly phenomenal in it.
I love it. My wife and I rewatch it every Christmas
Insightful Profound well-spoken guy. Looking forward to seeing more of him in films & his writings.
Enjoyable watch! Love all of his characters I've seen so far, can't wait to watch more. He's so talented!
It’s sort of a crime his performance in WAR & PEACE as Pierre is not included here, it’s so gob-smackingly perfect.
Paul is a real humble dude. Seems like a genuine and sincere guy.
*_DOES HE KNOW_*
Silly meme aside, Paul Dano is an incredible actor. Hopefully we'll get to see more of his crafts in the near future~
"And I'm writing a comic now about the Riddler..."
Well, of course he is. ❤
His role in love & mercy was so precious & complex in nature. Made me love The Beach Boys and their overall story even more.
Sad that he neglected to mention his role of 'Klitz' in The Girl Next Door. He was great in that very underrated film, and it was the role that brought him to the attention of a lot of people.
I was about to say exactly that but I don't want to steal your comment. Anyway, I'm sure no one's surprised Cowboys & Aliens (2011) didn't make the cut..
What happened to the girl next door?! 😪
@@taurinstraiter2325 I actually enjoyed that movie. LOL But his part in it was so small as to not really be worth mentioning.
@@barcham au contraire, his part was not small.
@@philippetsoukias833 In Cowboys and Aliens? He had about 15 minutes of screen time in the entire movie. It was one of the smallest speaking parts in the film.
Paul Dano is one of my fav actors and I’m so glad he’s getting more recognition
This man will win an Oscar one day. If not, then I will have no faith in the arts. Absolutely one of the most talented actors on planet Earth.
Agree 100%!
For such a young actor he has a lot of tough, interesting and big roles under his belt.
Prisoners is an underrated classic. Love that movie
Classic
Wish they had included War and Peace!
One of my fav actors ever. Always truthful, sincere and unpredictable in his roles.
I was holding my breath until he talked about Prisoners. Paul is such a great actor and I hope he gets the recognition that he deserves.
You can't say many people can hold their own against an actor like Daniel Day Lewis, but Dano absolutely did and it was incredible to watch.
i didnt like him in it, neither did Tarantino, but if he was cast last minute, it did Dano no favors, and taking that into consideration, he handled it well. Starring opposite DDL in his prime must have been daunting.
Some people just have iconic voices. Unmistakable in any film they’re in.
His commitment to his craft is truly inspirational.
His role in Prisoners is still one of my favs. He was spectacular.
I am certain, that Paul Dano is one of the most talented, yet underrated, actors of his generation.
Everyone even tangentially interested in music should see Love and Mercy. Fantastic film with amazing performances and attention to detail, and Dano knocks it out of the park as young Brian Wilson
Literally one of my favorite actors ever! He has such tremendous respect for the craft and he's so incredibly talented and humble. I just love him!! 💖🤌🏼
Paul Dano is terminally delightful! I love how much passion he has for what he does. It’s not just someone who’s doing it for the possible fame and fortune. In every role I’ve seen him in it always feels like he’s having a blast and living his dreams.
he’s such an incredible talent. i’ll never forget him as brian wilson.
I adore this man, I think Paul Dano has been in some incredible memorable movies in which his acting just makes them even better.
I just absolutely love this videos. Whoever came up with this ideas is truly brilliant and Paul Dano is just spectacular
Before Everything Everywhere All At Once, Swiss Army Man was the only other movie to make me laugh and cry with the same intensity in the same movie.... No wonder they were directed by the same guys. 😂🥰 Such an underrated masterpiece.
the Daniels are so creative. both some of my top favourite films
Watch JSA, its a korean film that definitely makes you happy then crushes your soul
2004's "Taking Lives" was the first time I was introduced to Paul Dano and my jaw dropped.
I remember thinking "This dude is a marvelous villain. he is going to have a great carrier"
Love him as an actor, you can tell he puts his all in every roll. Much respect
This desperately needed The Girl Next Door on the list!
