  • ben foster is the most underrated actor in hollywood. he is a great actor

  • i didnt like the way they killed that kid!! it wass fukn sad

  • I hold Ben Foster as one of my favorite young actors. No role can is out of his league. In Alpha Dog he puts glaucoma drops in his eyes (commitment) to show what a true junkie would look like physically so bravo Ben, here's to you. Now, "3:10 to Yuma" confused me a bit but then at the end it all came full circle, another superb performance. I'd like to shake his hand! He's a demented dude in Alpha Dog who can handle his own big-time. A national champion in the Tae Kwon Do competitions the guy h

  • What about that one movie,"Bang Bang you're dead." Wasn't Foster in that movie as well?

  • @jhnrwproductions hostage

  • Ben is Awesome! And he's right, when you have someone who is very proficient in a form of Martial Combat, like Tae Kwon Do, but without the discipline that comes with it, that's a very dangerous situation .

  • I want him in one of my movies one day. His approach to the character he becomes is...out of this world.

  • he's genius...

  • why is the lady talking still working for these people???

  • hello

    

  • met him today,nice guy

  • "oh I hate my job, I am a narrator who really can not be arsed to raise pitch in my voice, so I will just be a boring monotone bitch, who will make the most exciting movies seem dull, it is my talent" WOW she's 1 boring sounding bitch lol

  • @lukie69 hahaa ya so right

  • good film

  • LOL Ben Foster's best roles are where he's running around screaming, crying, and literally giving himself a headache from how loud he is. His other roles are just painful and decent at best. Guys he's NOT a good actor. At all. Just like Jesse Eisenberg, he looks great because of the role he plays, not his acting. Case and point, Alpha Dog and The Social Network. He's decent, not even good.

  • @AJVersatility19 i dont know about not being good, he as a certain charisma that cant be found in alot of people, you are right about his best roles are when he plays maniacs, same thing about Jesse bro, while these 2 are far from my favorite, i have to disagree about Foster

  • @msnikish Yea, actually he's had some good roles in other movies where he isn't screaming. Like 3:10 to Yuma, or The Messenger.

  • @AJVersatility19 Not true. Yes, he has an affinity for playing mentally unstable people, and a lot of them have been the loud type. But his work on "Freaks and Geeks" was great (this coming from someone who has had a lot of experience with the developmentally disabled), and both "3:10 to Yuma" and "Birds of America" were very quiet characters that he played beautifully (note: they were quiet in very different ways).

  • @AJVersatility19 Also, "Liberty Heights" is a great watch for his performance. Very charming and level-headed, not at all unstable.

  • @AJVersatility19 maybe, but name some other actors that would have been as memorable as Foster was in Alpha Dog.

  • @deanchamp No one, but that's what i'm saying. The role is core to his acting style. Like i said The Social Network example. It's not the actor, it's the role that's easy for them to play. Name another movie in which Foster is as memorable as he is in Alpha Dog.

  • @AJVersatility19 3:10 to yuma. He stole the show in my opinion. "careful rancher, thats Ben Wade yer talkin' to". so good.

  • @AJVersatility19 Pandorum he is amazing in that movie and it's also one of the best sci-fi movies that I have seen!!!

  • @AJVersatility19 3:10 to Yuma "YOU WILL BURN"

  • Ben Foster is just creepy.

  • @Metallkopf86 How so?

  • hes a rapper...how

  • All right!! He's like always emotional with the characters he plays. For example: Pandorum. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but his role in pandorum was awsome. But he still looks emotional in this interview. And he's kinda weird but in a good way.

  • @qukarlz I agree! like is something wrong with him??

  • WOW!!!!! 0_0 Casaveties directed this. I couldn't imagine working on this movie with Nick Casaveties directing i'm 6'4 but that guy is a monster from what I hear.

  • What the fuck is wrong with the narrator? Bitch sounds high

  • Ben Foster is the fucking man, I like all the movies he's in, and he usually comes out as the best role in each film, he like, absorbs the film around him even if it's not about him.

  • Behind the scene with the actors when asked about the series or movies they are in and about their respective characters. Many actors reply has been the visual thing that anyone sees, but few actors like Ben Foster seams to have thought about the real point that the producer wanted to emphasize. Respect.

    "The line between playing and becoming is really thin." - Ben Foster

  • this dude can act!

  • Deadly fukin film i cant stop watching justin timberlake good acthing in this film and of course ben foster mad cunt haa

  • @Hillbilly655321 yea totally true

  • ben fosters acting is amazing.

  • This guy reminds me of Al Pacino. A very good and very explosive actor.

  • hes a bad ass nazi mother fucker in this movie

  • I love Ben Foster! I remember watching him on Flash Foward in the 90's:) With the beard and hair he kinda looks like Spencer Pratt... lol

  • I like ben foster, I want him to be in a lot more movies

  • this is the ben forste i wanted 2 see !!! he overdid himself here, better then the messenger

  • whats the song in the movie at 1:17

  • He was dope in 310 to yuma...

  • @AAu99 and in hostage

  • LOVE this film

  • awesome film, very well acted, i would say timberlake, hirsch, ben foster and the guy who played his brother did extremely well

  • Anybody else thinks that he looks like Spencer Pratt with that facial hair?

    Great movie by the way, saw it today!

  • He was terrific in the role. Check out my tribute to Ben's performance in the movie.

  • definitly his best rol ever !

  • hey he pulled it off ! I never expected from this kind of caracter. more a little scared kid, or a crazy alianated kid, but not an agressive fuckerr like this

  • This dude plays a screw-up in this movie, but he also plays the most badass fighter I've ever seen. The scene where he crashes the party just gets my blood pumping. He literally looks like he fucks everyone's shit up, and it's basically a still camera shot throughout the fight.

  • I like how Ben looked kinda like Spencer Pratt after his hair grew back. Maybe he'll star in a Heidi/Spencer spoof movie someday (lol)

  • that dude is acting like he's tweaking in real life

  • he did an awesome job

  • When are they going to ditch this announcer chick? Her monotone tends to distract from the actual vid.

  • he looklike lil whyte from HCP

  • I loved this movie! I didn't realize it was based on a true story, until they would introduce people as " witness # 4".

  • Wow look at that beard in the second part lol. Maybe he was shooting for 3:10 To Yuma at that point?

  • this guy was epic in freaks and geeks!

  • Is there no clip on YouTube of his scene on the phone? That was freakin' amazing.

  • ben foster is awesome in this film!

  • yes he is ! i think hes always funny the crazy bastard

  • DId you see The Hostage with Bruce Willis? Ben wiped the floor with his acting! He was amazing!

  • @olzarius dude DUDE .......I FEEL YOU IM RIGHT HERE

  • I LOVE YOU!!!

  • I hate this movie and emile hirsch and justin timberlake but ben foster is a good actor

  • it's freaky how in the first part you can see he still has the mannerisms and speaks the same way as the character in alpha dog, and then in the second part his demeanor is completely different.

  • he was still in character

  • yeah he was.

  • yeah i know i just meant that the fact that he can convincingly change all those subtle details to make himself really seem like a different person is insane.

  • @Hilbilly655321 Maybe he was in character while in that part of the interview. Probably and on the set interview :P

  • Get Over It (2001). If that movie's not funny enough for you (save the love story shit) I dunno what to tell you.

  • Ben was awesome in The Punisher Dave was an awesome character!

  • hmmm...Ben Foster should be the Riddler....

    anyone else agree? he fits the bill of Edward Nigma more than Johnny Depp does....

  • this guy is the joker

  • this movie is sick, i really like its raw and crude outlook. Ben was brilliant and so were the rest. great film

  • Ben Foster is a young Christopher Meloni

  • 1:12 hot!

  • Ben Foster ROCKS. He plays the part of a brutal, evil mentally unbalanced psychopath so well. I only fear he might be typecast, but if you do something well, why mess with a great formula?

    I loved his performance in Hostage -- right up there with Hannibal Lecter and Jack NIcholson's "The Shining" character for skin-crawl factor.

  • i wish i could press mute on that goddam woman's voice. i came to this video to watch foster talk, not HER.

  • This is one of the best movies I have ever seen, J.T., Emile Hirsch, and Ben Foster are brilliant. I wanted to find out more about the guy who played Tatooey (Foster). He was really something.

  • He's an amazing actor. I first saw him in "Flash Forward". I knew he'd be something.

  • Definitely right he was also on freaks and geeks. Damn good actor

  • i remember him in freaks and geeks. i wasn't sure if it was him at first. so talented.

  • Associated Press Writer 6/8/2009

    SANTA BARBARA, California Jesse James Hollywood was convicted Wednesday of the kidnap and murder of a 15-year-old boy that inspired the 2007 movie "Alpha Dog."

    After deliberating about four days, a Santa Barbara Superior Court jury also found Hollywood, 29, guilty of the special circumstance allegation of being involved in a crime in which an assault weapon or machine gun was used, making him eligible for the death penalty.

  • i mean is Ben Foster in his real life realy a Nazi-jew or just in the movie?

  • he is Jewish, but he's not Nazi. I hope.

  • Yeah he is a Nazi-jew in real life. And Robin Williams is actually a genie. And Dustin Hoffman is a redheaded woman.

  • I dont think its possible to be a Natzi-Jew.

  • why? there cant be an undercover jew out there who despises his own kind? cause i bet there is one and i bet his names ben foster.

  • it's possible but you'd have to be kinda weird. just like Ben's character in this film. Not that other Nazi's would accept you.

  • 2 words to describle ben foster : KICK ASS!

  • I love him. He should be in everything. I wish he was more used.

  • Ben Foster steals every scene he's in

  • Hell yeah Ben really made the film awesome to watch - he seemed a proper wacko and was a great character

  • ben foster was a fuckin beast in this movie... loved it!

  • hell yeah, he made it worth watching.

  • the killer is a cop from the show southland

  • I loooove Ben Foster. So brilliant and unappreciated. I have to say Bang Bang You're Dead remains my favorite, though. Still, Alpha Dog was wicked.

  • i thought this guy is evil

  • Ben foster is my favorite actor ^^

  • ben foster (jake) is actually jewish lol

  • justin timberlake ruined this movie

  • Seems like ol Ben Foster has a lil meth problem of his own...

    Suckin the "glass dick", Benny Boy? LOL!

  • I just think Ben Foster is an amazing actor - loved him in this move and loved him in 3:10 top Yuma - great potential!

  • lol dude looks like a fucking junkie in the interview too!

  • ROFL i thought so too AHAHAHHAha

  • i think this guy really over-acts

  • he seems like his is still in character in this...is he high??

  • What I was saying 44 is that Johnny Truelove calls him a kyke in the movie since he knows Jake hates Jews. He's not saying he's a Jew he's using a deragorty term to refer to him as one since he knows that's not his religion and he hates those types of people.

  • i know that ..I saw the movie like five times..What i was asking you was what does that have to do with my intial comment stating that ben foster deserves an ocar for this role??That is why i was confused

  • Ohhhhhh, my bad. I agree, Ben Foster deserved some sort of award for his role in Alpha Dog.

    That's why I wish you saw more of Jake Mierzyski near the end of the movie, I would of loved to see his reaction on finding out that his little brother died.

    But yeah, I showed my friend this movie the other day and I was like "just wait 'til you see this Jake guy" and all he wanted was to see more scenes of Ben Foster's character. The scene where he kicks ass at the party is badass.

  • yeah man I totally agree..His brother in the movie was good at ass kicking too..yeah Ben did his thing..The movie itself was just sad that a 15yearold had to die over some nonsense..

  • jake is jewish as is his real life counterpart

  • Ben Foster's character WAS Jewish in the movie. a) Johnny affectionately calls him a 'Christ-killer' early in, and b) his name is Mazursky. Add those 2 factors & it would appear Jake really is Jewish.

  • He also calls him a kike a few times.

  • Although he DOES have an SS tattoo on the back of his neck. Skyuggace.

  • He's a nazi jew cause he's crazy. I love it.

  • like in the real life of just in the movie?

  • nah thats cuz he IS jewish, like that dude from the believer

  • i thought the same in only some short scenes, but all in one he is just doing a real authentic job

  • this dude deserved an oscar for his role in this film..his acting was far superior to everyone esles. the only person who came close was the kid who played his brother.justin and emil did well also

  • He just called up a kyke to piss him off since he knew he hates Jews, so he pretty much called him a Jew in the derogatory term.

    And depeau44 I agree, you truly believed Ben Foster's character was a serious tweaker. Especially during that scene with his boss.

  • im aittle confused about your comments..but yeah the scene with the boss and when sharon stone slapped him and he gave her hug really showed his range..compare that to his role in xmen.. completely dif ferent..he has alot of range

  • He's a great actor....very underrated. Kicked some serious ass in Alpha.

  • lol Ben Foster looks like Lil' Wyte

  • hey smileyfacekilla.. TRY TO MAKE SOME FUCKING SENSE NEXT TIME YOU COMMENT

  • he rocks in 3:10 to yuma

  • if Jake was Jewish, why did he get Nazi tattoos?????????

  • itS cALLED ACTING BUDDIE =D

  • his lil brother was a jew, jake had diff daddy

  • they would call him a kike, I guess he was half jewish? I mean why would truelove call him a kike? damn he was a skinhead too, why didnt he hate his brother for being jewish lol wierd shit.

  • No they had the same dad but different mother.

  • ben foster needs to play layne staley

  • You are a genius!!!

  • THIS MIGHT SOUND DUMB BUT WHO IS DAT

  • The late great frontman to Alice In Chains

    RIP Layne

  • Ben Foster has always been a great actor.

    Comedic and dramatic. The guy can act. Highly underrated actor.

  • he's showing his true talent and he has time to use his maximum potential. i think his career is just starting.

  • Lets go to Cali! With all the gangstas, drug users, and Hot ladies!

  • i like all thier acting in this movie my favorite is ben foster he is cute as a skinhead and a badass lol

  • some descent acting in it .. with the exception of justin timberlake .. the movie is deep considering its a true story but to be honest i wasnt a real fan of the film

  • i was actually quite surprised by timberlake´s acting. thought that was pretty descent too. what didn´t you like about it bryan?

  • if you think he's pretty good in this movie, watch 40 days of night.

  • ...or 3:10 To Yuma

  • i think the man is really insane (i could be wrong though!)..he may be good at hiding it during this interview. he is an excellent actor. one of the best i've ever seen.

  • awesome skills in martial arts (although that could have been a stunt doublt, but it looked like it was him)

  • Ben Foster is a great actor in this film!!!

  • he is such a badass in that movie i love the part where hes like " you pull that gun on me you better pull the fucking trigger' then he says "oh there no turnin back now johnny" badass movie

  • More badass when he shits on Johnnys carpet

  • I think he is pretty sexy!!

  • I think Ben Foster is hot in a weird way.

  • Why does an actors neck always itch in an interview? Ever notice that?

  • *blinks* Y'know what? You're right! Good observation.

    It's probably a nervous habit or something because I do the same thing.

  • i think its a sence of insecurity but that is just my opinon

  • he seems to be the same in real life as he is in the movie, somewhat

  • yeahh i thought the same XD!!

  • YOU BETTER PRAY JOHNNY!!!

  • sexxxyy

  • what did he put in his eyes?

    isn't that harmful?

  • Ben Foster! Dont know what it is but he has it!

  • BEN FOSTER

  • jake is a favorite character in it. he's in the best parts.

  • Big fan of Ben Foster.

  • ya good movies hes a good actor and the scene were he goes crazy on the phone wile talking with jesse james hollywood tats funny lol

  • ben gave his 100 percent inthis movie!!

  • thats true but he always does!*!*!

  • that scene where he kicked eveyrones ass was gay. Taikwondo, karate, aikido is just a bullshit you can't really use it on a real fight. If plot is based on a true story it should be kept this way.

    But the film was great in overall.

  • What discipline do you study?

  • That was a reply to lucasrofl. The retard who thinks its impossible to fight with your legs.

  • but you gota admit that fight scene was entertaining lol and in reality most people dont fight like that

  • He should really play Vegeta in the Next Dragonball movie for the saiyan saga.

  • holy shit wtf funny funny your right
