Anthony Hopkins Inside The The Actors Studio Part 2

[zinpgh]

Why the heck is his interview only 30 min (all 3 parts) and everyone else i've seen on the Actors Studio get's at LEAST 45 min and often 60 min or more?!!!!!!!!!!!

[graceygrumble]

I was going to comment that many Welsh people would take issue with Anthony Hopkins being called English, but I see the handbags are already out.

Goodness there are lots of morons on both sides of Offa's Dyke!

Go to it! Meet up and finish each other off. It will have a positive effect on the British gene pool.

[alwaysabstract1]

for any Brits watching dont you think his welsh accent comes out in part 2?

[LondonPride25]

@alwaysabstract1 It was pretty strong from the start. In some interviews, especially if he's promoting something, Sir Tony goes a bit more trans-Atlantic but in this one he's quite Welsh. Probably because of Lipton's opening question.

[johnstonmatthew2767]

he really connected with the audience more than most people. His simple stories had people laughing.

[alejita1679]

The Lion in Winter... he looked gorgeus in that movie and his scenes were great.

[cosimodemedici101]

God, he knows his shakespeare!! Such an interesting character

[kamelion7]

Wales would also disown you - claiming the English are responsible for all the worlds atrocities and carnage. Read between the lines and your opinion is very clear.

Whats the welsh for hypocrite......?

[johnnieknown]

@kamelion7 is it "KAMELLON76?

ASSHOLE!!!

[kamelion7]

I too stand by every word I have typed. Wales has hardly exported anything of interest, has the highest suicide rate in europe and is full of silly little villagers like yourself who spend their evenings running down the very country that provides the means for its survival. Your histrionic posts and entire attitiude smacks of nothing more than YET ANOTHER bored Welshman with too much time on his hands and an ancient axe to grind against the English.

Racism is a police matter, don't you know....

[merlin999999]

i stand by every word Ive said. clearly you cant or else you should hand yourself into the police.

[merlin999999]

yawn. you must hate your own country as youre such a disgraceful ambassador for it. unlike you I never stated hate for anything I merely said english actors arent the best movie actors you then exposed yourself as a lying racist bigo who actively encourages suicide too. england would be ashamed of you. are you going to show these threads to your family? and the police?

[merlin999999]

i know youre not you couldnt find employment in the REAL world. people dont tend to employ abusive racist liars like yourself. encuragig suicide is in fact a criminal offence in england and wales. dare speak your poison on the street face to face see how far it gets you? Id suggest youd be sectioned. suicide rates are higher in deprived areas such as north of england and parts of wales were the closed the coal pits, raped the gold mines, copper, steel and slate quarries. you hate england too

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Personal jibes about employment and the like are extremely juvenile and futile - I encouraged nothing, I simply stated a FACT. Yes, a FACT. One that aggravates you but nonetheless, entirely true. I could never hate England, otherwise I would never have reacted to your anti English filth in the first place.

Are you a schizophrenic perchance? as your responses have ranged from English bigot to now I hate the English as well!!! You are well on the run you Celtic imbecile

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Before you try and instigate legal proceedings (pause for hysterical laughter) I simply asked how it could be that the idyllic land of Wales (pause for convulsive aching laughter) had such a record of suicide. Surely this means it cannot be quite the paradise you describe.

As I said before, national pride is all well and good (even for Taffs) just don't start on others (the English in your case) and we wouldn't be here now.

[kamelion7]

BINGO!!!!

You have finally said what I knew you was going to...

It is the English peoples fault that some Welsh persons commit suicide...tsk,tsk

You really are a one man crusade aren't you? But you should have chosen a nation with a future (and a past) to champion.

Type on mate, I'm not going anywhere :-)

[merlin999999]

ah so youre a liar too as well as a racist abusive bully

you take pleasure at suicide rates and encourage it. wow. if youre that desperate for cheap attention why dont you stand naked on the motorway? thankfully suicide rates are down in the uk wales at 11% male female is less than some areas more than others. but in the list of nations its way down at about 40th but it isd a major problem especially amongst men. the poorer areas see higher suicide rates so the economic rape was a main factor

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 You have twisted and altered your arguement throughout - the evience is below. You constantly try and belittle English achievements with Welsh non events and list a string of 70sw sit com stars as Hollywood A listers!

Anti English racism you obviously studied at A level - perhaps you should have concentrated on your own language, then it wouldn't be defunct.

Wales has the highest suicide rate in Europe... Did you know that? Why is that I wonder?

Hmmmmmmmmmm......

[merlin999999]

SO IN ADDITION TO YOUR RACIST VILE ABUSE YOU NOW ENCOURAGE SUICIDE , YOURE A DISGRACE TO YOUR COUNTRY YOUR FAMILY AND YOURSELF. SHAME ON YOU RACIST BIGOT. UNLIKE YPU I WONT STOOP SO LOW. I WISH YOU REDEMPTION AND I DONT HATE YOU. GOOD LUCK I HOPE YOU ONE DAY SEE THE LIGHT

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 DID YOU KNOW THAT WALES HAS THE HIGHEST SUICIDE RATE IN EUROPE? THAT IS ACTUAL FACT - MICHAEL ASPEL POINTED IT OUT ONCE, I THINK HE MUST BE ANOTHER CELT LOATHER.

I WOULDN'T WASTE HATE ON SUCH A PERSON AS YOU - I SIMPLY THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR BELOVED COUNTRIES FAVOURITE PAST TIME!

[merlin999999]

youre gttting exposed each foul word that passes your mouth, I show respect and balance you just shout and swear and say racist cliches. shame on you. I hope you show your comments to your friends and family then see how proud they are of you. I am 100% entitled to my view that english actors are not best movie stars + too many of them are too stiff particularly due to their stage past. if you call that racist then you are a confused man in need of a job. Irons agrees inside the actors studio

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 You show nothing but abuse and vitriol, narrow mindedness and astonishing anti-English bile. You are entitled to any view you want, but not the one of how the English are the villains of the universe - that is paranoid celtic rubbish and so typical of small villagers mentality. In need of a job? Are you insane? I have been in full employment for the last 20 years - you are obviously a troll, and a Welsh one at that.

Seek medical attention or follow the Welsh tradition of suicide

[merlin999999]

I wasnt a chaplin fan tbh Im sure he was a brilliant comeic performer I was always a laurel and hardy fan and harold lloyd. and yes im aware stan laurel was english. as usual my replies offer balance and fair mindedness and i dont shout and swear at you sadly you havent got the same class as me. i am a bonefide welshman with class we are all made this wa. we value ethics morals and values more than elitist wealth, titles, and superficiality. we are warm genuine sincere people we dont mock

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 I shout and swear at you because you infuriate me in your hypocrisy. YOU began this tirade at English talent, YOU have stated that England is the root of all evil, yet claim not to be "like me" (a racist). Obviously I am fully aware you are bluffing and have no real arguement to offer and hurl your antiquated insults regarding the empire and such as a smoke screen to conceal your own inadequacy - or rather Wales'

[kamelion7]

@kamelion7 Your use of the word parochial is most amusing, it is a trait you display with aplomb. As is 'insularity'. Exactly when did Ruth Madoc take Hollywood by storm? Last I saw of her she was in 'Little Britain'. The fact remains you're disrespectful remarks about English actors are redundant and weightless. For each feeble 80s welsh TV star you name, I can throw a million stage and film English greats. Next you go back to the empire!!! Wales were in on that as well, the British Army

[merlin999999]

michEL CAINE has improved with age he is a humourous man though lacks a warmth a subtlety and finesse in his performances tr watching zulu again and admire the understated hubrus of welsh legend stanley baker as opposed to caines one dimensional toff. but unlike you I am a fair man I credit caine as a very likeable man who also detests the mainstream elitist society which locked him out for so many years. he is a maverick

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Oh come on, 'Zulu' was made when Caine's career was in its infancy, something which can harly be said of Baker. You seem, even in your summation of Caine's talent you invent this elitist rubbish of how Caine was banished from the Elephant.... He left of his own volition to further his career you mindless idiot - Did Wales then exile Hopkins and Burton? To have your logic than yes.

[merlin999999]

the only truly great english screen actors were finney, mason and alan bates. the rest disappoined and were usually support roles playing one dimensional bad guys with too little soul like trevor howard. clearly you lack the qualities of which i speak so you will not recognise when they are absent. whats more the english elite tend to keep the jobs between themselves as they are greedy and parochial. shame they cant be kinder and more openminded no wonder the english elite are so disliked

[merlin999999]

I have named a long list of welsh greats and all youve done is abuse them you little englander racist. Unlike you I see both sides of ever story and I have complimented some english actors. however the vast vast majority are stiff and lack warmth compassion and fire. thats why you simply cant understand why the likes of brando cagney hopkins , deniro, pacino, burton spacey , clint, bogey are all so much us better than stiff wooden english stage actors. ven the good stage actors like jeremy irons

[merlin999999]

run by elitist englishmen allowed to collapse and kill children. this is english history. anyway lets not even strt talking about the deathcamps eh

back to my point the english produce legendary stage actors as do the welsh but the english desoite this background have not produced such great movie stars as the americans. why ? because they are often too consumed with the stage styke and too stiff to express themselves on film. even olivier is not IN the greatest screen actors. THEY LACK WARMTH

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 you are now so utterly desperate to prove your nations worth, you are resorting to age old history (of which Wales was a part) and are making a complete fool of yourself. Which English actors, precisely are stiff? You don't name any. This is all borne of JEALOUSY and RESENTMENT - both typical Celtic traits.

The Welsh language has been virtually wiped out by its own people - they find it absurd. You need a pint of phlegm in your throat to have a discussion.

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Wales is, and always will be the poor relation that England has to support both finacially and economically. The fact that a few sheep molesting inbreds served in the war is meaningless.

You really must find a decent script and a set of insults relevant to the present day!! You Celts forever dwell in the past, gutted that it was England that ruled the world and not you.

You will never amit it but you secretly wish you was English you sad little fool!!

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Oh so, England was responsible for all the bad deeds, even though in the same breath you tell me Welsh idiots supported them all the way!!!!

I'm wastking my time with such an ill educated buffoon.

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 English actors lack nothing. It is the fact they are ENGLISH that you invent this defect to justify your hatred of them. Plain and simple. You are a foul Anti English peasant and the sooner you amit this the better.

Welsh actors (both of them, Burton and Hopkins) are nothing but drunks - Lets face it, with Welsh lineage, who wouldn't hit the bottle?

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Only an imbecile would claim Charlie Chaplin lacked warmth!!!! or Frank Finlay and Michael Caine lack warmth and passion!!

Anthony Hopkins was outstanding in 'Magic' and is great in most things, but he has nothing more than the multitude of English actors I have mentioned simply because he fled the valleys back in the seventies.

ENGLISH ACTORS LACK NOTHING

[merlin999999]

OH I must have imagined the welsh guards the fact welsh soldiers have fought alongside the english for the past several hundred years fighting and dying for britain and you ignre it all you disgraceful racist. since the days of the welsh bowmen. you clearly also forget your nation systematically tried to wipe out the welsh language for centuries, stole the title prince of wales which remains stolen, drowned endless towns to steal water, stole tens of millions of gold, slate, coal mine collapses

[merlin999999]

the racist doth protest too much lol youre the ones being racist towards other nations from the frnch to the americans to the welsh the scots the irish the list goes on and on. you ignore the FACT the english wealth NOW is based entirely on the ongoing theft of the resources of other nations. not onl are you ungrateful for this FACT but youre arrogan about it too. the empre you so cruelly ran killing tens of thousands of innocents wasnt 400 yrs ago. it was built on welsh gold, copper, coal

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 The intial racist doth deflect the criticism!!! English ingenuity and conquering skills made it what it is toay. Wales was, and still is nothing - hardly a world dominating force!!! Wales has a claim to nothing other than bestiality, suicide and male voice chorus'. If you turn any greener with envy at your accomplished neighbours, you may as well change your name to Shrek!!!

Meibion Glyndwr - now there's a nice welsh organisation for u!!! You are chatting bollocks

[kamelion7]

Here comes the ancient axe...... grind, grind, grind, England did this years ago, England did that YAWN.... you idiots need to progress a little and stop crying about defeats that happened centuries ago.

What a sad little leak eating, Ewe interferring mong! Get some new material or a life - either way, I'm pissing myself laughing at your feeble jibes!!

[merlin999999]

yet you still hate the welsh the scots not to mention the french the germans the australians the americans. the english abuse all of these nations every day yet when 1 man on youtube says welsh actors have more heart ou go berserk. you cannot take anything back ou are the most shallow of hypocrites and that is why most of the world doesnt like little englanders like you

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 NOTE: Subject change entirely!!! I love the Americans and the Germans. Fact remains all Celts loathe the English through pure jealousy and envy. I've met PLENTY of Welsh xenophobes, its nothing strictly English you moron.

You really are in such a pathetic little taff bubble aren't you! Most welsh hate the Welsh!!! That's why they shun their own native tongue!!!!

[merlin999999]

greetings racist. most of those are not actors? lol

we all know england has all the ,oney and the power as they stole it from everyone else so of course there will be more opportunity there surely youre aware of englands horrific past or are you as close minded to that as you are to everything else you parochial little englander. it seems to have escaped our ignorance that despite your horrific abuse and hatred towards the world the welsh the scots have still been your best most loyal brothers

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Naturally you celtic ponces have not entirely severed your ties with England as the English taxpayer funds your miniscule land. Despite your blatant hypocrisy in calling me a racist (an attitude you display shamelessly towards the English) you will never have a convincing arguement.

Welsh bleating about 400 years ago and the jealousy they harbour to this day regarding English domination is laughable!! (allow me: hahahahaha)

[merlin999999]

prynhawn dda racist bigot wales and welsh talent is always victorious. hopkins is the greatest british actor ever as voted by fans and peers period. the list of other welsh legends is phenomenal from oscar winners like welshman miland, welshman hopkins, welshwoman zeta, welshman griffiths, edmund gwen, welsh born christian bale, and a load of baftaof greats from rachel roberts, to jonathon pryce, matthew rhys, michael sheen, burton, spinetti, madoc, des llewellyn, ifans,dalton,sian phillps

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Keep telling yourself that you poor deluded sap, OLIVIER was and always is voted the greatest sctor ever. Milland was NOT a Welshman, he had English blood but continue to ignore that. Most of the nonsensical, unpronouncable names you mention are hardly A listers!!! You cannot compegte with the cream of English talent I provided you with and you know it.

Sian Phillips!!! A weather girl!! And a clown faced slapper at that... GFod you're getting desperate!! HAHAHA

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Please note, you continually give the SAME names i.e Hopkins, Milland (who was half English), Rhys Ifans and the like...Yawn. I think you'll find thats your lot!! English talent runs through the centuries and you can't hold a candle to it.

Sorry if that makes your insular little Taff blood boil but its FACT. Rachel Roberts topped herself when she discovered she was indeed Welsh...don't blame her. Ruth Madoc!!! Dear god, I can trump that slag with Su Pollard. You are desperate!!!

[kamelion7]

Yet another deflection from a typical Welsh idiot - starts spouting his anti English hatred and then becomes all defensive when he gets pulled up. Face it, you mob are ALWAYS reay with a derogatory remark aginst the English - jealous as fuck and always will be.

[merlin999999]

it is YOU whop are abusive petty nast jealous. I have been polite throughout, you are the most tedious hypocrite who will alwas be like this all your life as you surropund yourself with like minded parocial abusive hypocritical bully boys. shame you cant head butt me behind a keyboard hooligan

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Milland part English, Ivor Novello (iron), Ryan Giggs plays for Manchester United (English team), Johns born in South Africa but unfortunate enough to be shipped to Cymru, Harry Secombe found fame in England as has Ifans (Notting Hill) so you are utterly defeated.

Your Anti English remarks provoke these responses so in future keep your racist, insular Welsh mouth shut

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 John Lennon, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Paul Weller, Noel Coward, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, Dudley Moore, Paul McCartney, Julie Walters, Denholm Elliot, Alan Bennet, Thora Hird, Tim Curry, Bob Hoskins, Sam Mendes, Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, AdamAnt, Gary Numan, Johnny Rotten, Kate Bush, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, Michael JAyston, Frank Finlay, George Sanders, Do i really have to go on?!

Kindly get some assistance with your severe jealousy issues you little Taff sap

[merlin999999]

johns was welsh parentage and spent much of her life in WALES, same as burton, miland and his welsh dad born in neath,, sheen, ifans, harry secombe tom jones, basseyy (in a proper mixed community in non racist cardiff ) endless legends from bily boston to ryan giggs to ivor novello, you know nothing. I have a telephone number for you to get psychiatric help. you are a vile abusive racist coward. so your opinions are irrelevant. kindly get help and get the tattoo removed from your bald head.

[merlin999999]

no they are welsh check your facts you are wrong. your abusive tone is soo predictably typical and says what type of character you are. its sad you can be so abusive and jealous of a lovely harmless little country like wales. a place so beautiful even your future king has decided to live here. by the way the legendary tom jones lives in vegas and hollywood which is not in england lol and bassey lives in monaco.do some geography outside your comfort zone lttle englander lol

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 I am utterly right - just because you don't like it doesn't make it any less true. Milland was part English and Johns was born in South Africa!! Kindly get your facts right if you're trying to argue the toss. I am not jealous of your shithole country - YOU are the one that started your petty tirade against English talent.

Yes, but Bassey, Jones and Hopkins FLED to England to get their careers started. REMEMBER THAT pathetic Celtic cunt

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Jealous of Wales?!! PMSL!!! Even the Welsh flee in horror from that hideous place. The only prospects there are enrollment into the Armed Forces or suicide! lol. I find it so unbelievably tedious that you Celts (CUNTS) have such an ancient axe to grind with us English and seek to denegrate and belittle at any opportunity. You fail to understand that no one cares what you toothless simpletons think.

Jealousy is such a bitter pill to swallow isn't it Dafydd!!! LOL

[merlin999999]

thanks for the abuse it says more about you small minded insular abusive little englanders than a nice guy like me. how sad you cant acknowledge what wonderful talent comes from wales. a tin nation of 2.9 million has produced so many wonderful talents despite its size and relative economic poverty compared to england which has of course hoarded stolen most of the wealth for close to 1000 ears. still we battle on and despite it all we at least have the moral high ground. our spirit is stronger

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Thanks for not even addressing ME directly you moron. You obviously are so bitter that you have to condemn English talent you sad little sheep shagger. I wondered how long it would be for you to take this further - you insular little pricks never dissapoint!! Wales is a nation of inbred, toothless simpletons!! England neither needs or wants your approval!!

Jealousy is a terrible thing isn't it? bitter little Taff!!! haha

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 I see you failed to acknowledge your mistakes in using Ray Milland and Glynis Johns as Welsh talent!! The only thing the welsh have a talent for is inbreeding and bitter resentment at their superior English counterparts.

Many wonderful talents? Dream on mate, Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones - notice they both fled Wales in horror years ago!!! To the sanctuary of the civilised country of England!!!

[merlin999999]

Id also add just to show I am FAR MORE OPEN AND FAIR MINDED THAN YOU AND YOUR ABUSIVE COMMENTS AND ALSO ALBERT FINNEY IS TERRIFIC (PART IRISH)

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 You simpleton!! Ray Milland was half ENGLISH and Glynis Johns was born in South Africa!! You are an imbecile of the highest order, evidently. Laurence Olivier (the greatest actor ever) ENGLISH, Michael Jayston, Michael Caine, Christopher Eccleston, Frank Finlay, Michael Gough, John Hurt, Gary Oldman, Ray Winstone, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, all ENGLISH..... I could go on forever - You can't!! PMSL

[merlin999999]

what tedious english racism YAWN you know nothing of Wales. hopkins, richard burton welsh ray miland oscar winning acting legend welsh zeta jones oscar winnier welsh, christian bale oscar winner welsh, glynis johns, hugh griffith oscar winner welsh. timothy daltonivor novello, jonathon pryce, rhys ifans, rachel roberts, ioan gruffudd, all massive movie stars. bassey sang for bond more than anyone, Q was welsh oh and tom jones beat the aliens in mars attacks to lol

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 Excuse me Taff, YOU were the one that had to slag off the English in your typically insular Welsh post. You evidently no nothing about quality actors, Catherine Zeta Jones!!!! PMSL!!! Talentless slapper (most welsh birds are), Glynis Johns!! Hugh Griffith has been around forever, that doesn't make him good. Your pathetic jealousy of English talent obviously burns so deep you have to try and belittle it!!

What a pathetic, little boyo you are!! Welsh can't hold a candle to EnglishLol

[merlin999999]

thats my opinion deal with it. the ONLY english actors with passion and heart was alan bates, peter otoole and oliver reed but the last 2 of these were half irish. the english training is great up to a point but if overdone it takes your heart your individuality and sensitivity. thats why even the greatest ever stage actors like olivier do not match up to brando bogey pacino deniro or hopkins on the silver screen. theyre just too stiff. sad but true. even the great english actors admit it

[merlin999999]

It MUST be understood is he is from WALES not ENGLAND. that is why he has that extra special ingredient missing with so many stiff english actors. welsh actors have that extra fire passion and heart

[ludocrat]

@merlin999999

Well said!

[kamelion7]

@merlin999999 What a load of bollocks. The only other Welsh actor of note is Richard Burton. Two people you Sheep shaggers have knowcked out - that's it. You're saying English actors have no passion or heart??!!!! Then you're an idiot. Olivier, Hurt, Caine, Gielgud, Richardson, Jayston, Eccleston, Finlay......

If you're just here to promote Wales fine - don't try and slag off the English - not when you've only got the 2 aforementioned actors to back you up. Prick

[11october1893]

@kamelion7 I wouldn’t take @merlin999999 too seriously - reading his/her comments it appears he/she knows nothing about the subject of acting - more of an armchair critic, a know-all

[YouAreHereification]

haha, i'll name just one...Ian Mckellen. English. Stiff, no passion or heart? NO. Shut up and stop talking out of your arse.
