No, I'm emphasizing the totality of his talent as a humorist and impressionist. That alone warrants such an accolade. Even though an Oscar is essentially useless knowing that Goldie Hawn has one and Richard Burton doesn't.
I would love to watch a proper British Gangster Flick with Kingsley and Hopkins both in it (with Daniel Day Lewis and Michael Sheen in supporting roles).
Good actor, compleely up his own arse but he's very entertaining and if there is a film with him in it - I'd watch it. Would love him to reprise Don Logan somehow.
Sexy beast was a bit crap... Gotta say - Ben Kingsley really hasnt done anything good for a loooong time.. Shame, waste of a decent actor... I mean BloodRayne? Last Legion? Prince of Persia the sand of time? Ben what were you thinkin????
@LaMOi1 agreed bloodrayne was crap, but he wasnt too bad in it, i mean when uve got crap to work with, where can u go? he did wat he could, which is more then anyone else in that movie
@LaMOi1 maybe it's tiring to constantly do emotionally demanding roles. notice de niro has done nothing but crap for almmost 20 years now. daniel day lewis has done incredible work consistently but only works every 5 years or so.
Is Ben Kingsley a practicing Hindu?!?!? I know he was born in the same province as Ghandi and he played Ghandi in the 1982 film, but the gesture at the end I assume means he is Hindu.
Kingsley should have been ALFRED in BB and the dark knight all respect to michal caine but his cockney geezer routine was a bit one note kingsley can add the nuance and wiseness ALFRED has.
That's actually really good. Pompous or not he clearly loves the Don Logan role and so he should; he was almost unbelievably good in it. I don't mind when pomposity is backed up with real talent; it;s ego in the absence of talen I can't stand
FIUBNM - So WHAT if he is Half Indian?????? You have mentioned the same thing on the comments on the other Ben Kingsley clip...You trying to show you have knowledge or are you shocked that a British actor has a bit of ethnicity in him????
I can take most things without complaining and, if I had not seen Kingsley being interviewed at length some years ago I would hav enjoyed this greatly but, in reality this man has brought the term "pompous ass" onto a whole new level and he is in real danger of drowning in arrogance and self importance....but I must admit he is a great actor! thanks for posting!
On Sunday, October 28th at 9 am, be sure to catch Anthony Hopkins on A&E's new Television show Private Sessions! Most recently, 2007 has been a big year for Hopkins with the release of "Slipstream", which he directed, wrote, composed the music for as well as starred in. He also took part in Robert Zemeckis's "Beowulf ", which was created using the new motion capture animation process.
Can somebody write me a script of this video - it sounds funny but I dont understand anything of it because im not english and I understand what they're saying very poor :(((
He's such a great actor. But I do hear that he is quite an egotistical asshole. And I heard a commentary with him once and he does seem to need to get over himself. What a shame when you find out your favorite actors are assholes.
Its hard to do a Welsh accent anyway nevermind a Tony Hopkins one.
