[ThePhil909]

this ian is a fukn good actor in his own right

[TheKenfig]

@ThePhil909 Yes, Teddy Bass is a nasty cunt in 'Sexy Beast' ; good performance

[ThePhil909]

@TheKenfig I thought his no nonsense approach on "deadwood" was spot on he's underrated like the gary oldman's of this world

[KungFuShifu]

The thought of McShane & Connery together is wonderful.

[zeratul78]

McShane is all class.

[dano670]

C***sucker!......For the Deadwood fans.

[MsDDiddy]

SOMEBODY GIVE THIS GUY A KNIGHTHOOD!!!

[Crust218]

Absolutely incredible actor. What a presence! 

[ChicagoCeteraEra]

Heheh... I love this guy !!!

Ian Mcshane...One of the greatest actors off all time and he`s a very good singer too..and so good looking !!!!

[Jernet79No]

Ian McShane does a spot on imitation on the lame Norwegianish-English accent. Its funny,the higher education they have,the bader English we/they have.I get ranted upon myself for sounding like an American,but rather that that sounding like our politicians. They sound horrible,even to this very day LOL.

[Rikitocker]

One Legend speaking to another ... I love BOTH these actors!

[bartolemeo]

Robert Stack had no idea what he started at Geico.

[WiseGuy5674]

@bartolemeo ...holy shit...I can't believe I didn't put them two together!..I can picture the ad!.."Will switching to Geico save you 15% or more on car insuranse.....is getting kicked, in the head repeatedley...with an iron boot ever a good idea?"

[OscarByor]

The best actor, Ian Mcshane, we love you!!

[peterguit]

Ian should have been the next Bond after Roger Moore.

[ValhallhaAngel]

Sean Connery you are an inspiration to me. My parents love you, I love haha my family loves you. We look at your work as perfect. I look at you as a hero to my future and a wise mentor. Your voice spread through the centuries. A man I wished to be when I was younger. You are the man I look up in honor and wisdom. I salute you Sir Sean Connery. ;) :) Thank you Tito

[reptomicus]

McShane has got to be most awesomely swarthy Celt of all time!

[zulawoo]

Only watched kings of him.. but never saw him this enourmosly spastisly talking O_o

[bergenxx]

I'm from Norway, and that acsent was almost spot on:) Not that I talk like that though

[forensics55]

It's he who puts the "swear" in Swearengen!!

[crackyourheadopen]

James Bond + Al Swearangen -> i wouldn't bug them

[CatAtomic99]

Colonel Gentleman is awesome.

[tommygun6644]

Congratulations Sean, you loopy fucking cunt.

[Dienekes19]

I'm just "loving" the gd adds on youtube

[smegmadiver22]

Ian McShane rules, anyone who disagrees must be some kind of Yankton cocksucker.

[chidoriookami]

i ahve a hard time understanding every 5th word he says....lol

[NickB1967]

From "The Cocksucker Show!"

[shir1999]

excellent tribute!

[brabon1]

mcshane is a throwback to the he man of the silver screen...i love that guy

[Tool2525]

"We've known eachother oh I don't know 38 years?" So you do know then, Ian?

[ThePYRO93]

0 0 7 -0 0 7 whats with the poking ,Scottish til i die

[daonfpe]

Your looking great Ian! All the very best with you! Love ya man!

Canada says cheers!

[vivwritten]

Lovejoy

[ladianoh]

Dug the movie The Terrorists, or Ransom... Really crappy, but those two guys are great.

Norwegians were caught napping in 1940 btw.

[boudiceaborn]

Sean Connery is definitely crying towards the end of this video. So sweet, love hearing stories of he and Ian causing trouble with tanks back in the day.

[maxcadyuk]

I remember him from The Last of Sheila.

[EvilKris]

jesus ian mcshane is so much like my old man it kills me, his voice, joking style. pops popped his clogs a couple of years ago, but every time i get nostalgic i just whack up an ian mcshane interview and there he is, spitting image in every way.

[Aivottaja]

Although I am glad he has gotten some big time fame in Deadwood, it kills me that less and less people know him primarily as Lovejoy.

[BoonyBanny]

A vugging legend! Ian McShane!

[zulawoo]

I really really miss kings already! It should never be cancelled, Ian is so awesome in that show!

[Chiefdoom4ever91]

I loved this actor because of the movie Hot Rod. He is such a badass actor and mean voice!. haha

[piratebri]

Yes, I remember Lovejoy. I would think he'd be known for his stage career over in the UK nowadays. He is an amazing stage actor, and has done some popular plays over there, and here in the US on Broadway.

[pizzaman147]

yes i did like kings nbc just didnt give it the chance and respect and just through it out

[ASH6977]

i know i miss kings too..what a shame but i kept the very last episode on dvr :)

[piratebri]

I put the entire series on my iPhone and watched it all in one weekend while at work (I work at a hospital and have lots of downtime on weekends).. The last couple episodes were brilliant for McShane.. his character was great

[piratebri]

Most people know McShane from Deadwood, which was one of the highlights of his career. But any McShane fan should also check out the NBC show Kings. It was unfortunately canceled after one season, and the show itself was not as strong as Deadwood, but McShane ruled the cast. He gave as strong of a performance as he did in Deadwood (if not stronger). His character in Kings showed so many more dimensions than Al Swearengen. It's a pity the show was canceled.

[greyfox129]

I know man I was so pissed that they cancelled Kings. NBC failure was that they did not promote it right shame also cause the writing and acting were amazing.

[digink]

@piratebri I agree. It is an absolute shame that first the masterpiece of a show Deadwood is canned before it can really spread its wings, and Kings which was shaping up to be a truly incredible show was cast to the same fate. Kings should of been on HBO or Showtime, not NBC.

[piratebri]

Yea, gotta give NBC kudos for having the courage to put a show like Kings on their schedule. Problem is, it was a specialty show, and specialty shows don't last long on primetime cable channels. It would have been a lot better on HBO or Showtime. Probably would have gone 2-3 more seasons.

[mbarbram]

I have not seen too many of Shane's work for the exception of Deadwood. Even just seeing him in one production, I consider him as one of the most talented performers I have ever seen.....

[SeanGall]

Ian McShane is a man I'm glad to say that I know through work and as I tell everyone, he is one of the nicest people I've ever met.

[Charleybones]

Ian Mcshane has a great stage presence. Check him out in Sexy Beast with Ray Winstone. Of course Ben Kingsley is great, but Ian's character with those dead shark eyes and are amazing when staring down Ray Winstone's character.

[emidore]

Sean looks like he's getting a woody when Ian speaks.

[TheJazzlady40]

thisguy is a trip

[Numinous123]

For a case of Glenlivets , I would have made the pink too.

[IanMcshane2]

Love Ian McShane!

[Shittywaffles]

hahaha his story about the rich norwegian guy was awesome. '' we also have two tanks in the country, they were caught napping in '42, they won't be caught napping again eh?!'' Norway rules

[chiafarrow]

Glad this was posted!  Thank you!

[SadClownMovies]

he's a compelling fella, one of those guys you just gotta watch him when he's on screen. both of them in fact.

[svedzin]

Ian Mcshane's "fuck" should never be censored.

After "Deadwoo", his "fuck" word sounds like melody.

Anyhow, this was brilliant show!

[BlueFox284]

Yeah, I half-expected Ian to call Sean a "Fucking cocksucker". .Heh.

That bit about napping in 42' was hilarious.

[nessadavis71]

@svedzin Till just NOW I never hear McShane's character in deadwood, but your description is hilarious! Thank you!

[Charleybones]

Ian is a stud. Check him out in Sexy Beast. The guy has eyes like a shark!

[19dec1981]

glenlivet mmmm

[mcshanebest]

Thanks for this!

[afi]

You're very weclome!
