Yes, well said! I think it comes from the origins of chat shows, which were more like dinner parties. This one is from the beginning of the 'promo' era, where people tend to be on solely to plug their release (since this is Cavett, it's much more interesting in this case), but if you go a bit further back, stars were invited on just to give a good anecdote or two, be disarming and generally charming, as they might at a dinner party. I think those expectations produced a concise, and, as you say, eloquent level of discourse.

I worked as an extra on 'Fractures'. On the last day of filming, the director asked a court room filled with extras and Sir Anthony Hopkins to stand up, exit the court room, then reset and do it over and over again. On maybe the 7th take, without any dialogue in the take, Sir Anthony turned to the crowd and said, "Folks, I am so sorry. I'm not sure why he want's to film this in every direction, but you've been very patient, and I appreciate it." After no response from anyone, I said, "Are you kidding? You're Sir Anthony Hopkins. We'd do this all week long for nothing but bread and water if we had to!". He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me in the sweetest bearhug I've ever received and said, "Oh, my goodness you are so sweet. Please, call me Tony." It was THEN I became too shy to speak.

Kept them anyway because when my current speakers stop working, I have "back-up". (and, btw, would love to find speakers I could REALLY turn up. But, like tvs and DVDs nowadays, they don't give you the option. Guess they figure people are rude and might disturb their neighbors.....).

@boiledelephant 2 месяца назад

It was interesting to hear Cavett use the term 'race' to refer to the Welsh, I came here from Rob Rydon videos precisely because I think the Welsh look so distinct (in a perfectly good way) - even without an accent you can tell a Welshman in a way you can't with a lot of other UK regions. And as Hopkins alludes to here, they have a quite distinct character and temperament, I both admire and fear the oldschool Welsh men slightly because they're noticeably tough, attentive and with a certain amount of grit. Travelling in Wales I was struck by how worlds apart they are, as a culture and a people, from the English Southerners just a few hours away.

Academy voters are dolts. Hopkins should have won for The Remains of the Day, but lost to a political statement. His portrayal of Stevens was, I think, the best display of acting I've ever seen. It was magnificently subtle and something I think only he could have pulled off. Pay attention when he goes out of the house and has to socialize with other people in a pub or something. He's not comfortable, and you can tell. He's out of place, and for a butler, anything out of place is troubling.

@eleutheria1058 3 года назад

Yeah, Caine talks about how it draws you into the character, instead of being unconsciously distracted by blinking. It's also a common sign of lying, esp during eye contact. People tend to blink more when nervous. If you're really going to believe in the character an actor is playing, it needs to seem honest, real.

Andrew Goodsman, now another source in the form of a RU-vid commenter, Andrew goodsman, has confirmed my assumption. The facts keep building and building - Welsh people are laid back and have "relaxed" eyes, it's as good as fact now.

Not when it comes to "Wales". The Welsh are typically EXTREMELY proud to be Welsh (nationalistic to the point of hating English people just for being English sometimes). And far from laid back when it comes to sports if Wales are playing. I speak from experience as someone who lives and has grown up in Wales.

In hindsight, Anthony said nothing of why he didn't blink. Cavett just mentioned it.

When Nickolas Meyer directed Ricardo Montalban as Khan in Star Trek II, RIcardo gave an over the top maniacal performance in the first scene filmed. Meyer went up to him (Nervously, as Meyer had done maybe two films at the time and Montalban was a Hollywood legend) and said that was good, but sometimes people are crazy and yet they don't act crazy. Montalban went into his trailer for a bit, came back out, and gave the performance that we see on film.

Interesting seeing Hopkins speak about "insanity" the way he does. I understand now he is aware of his Asperger's but during this interview i don't believe he was. I am late diagnosed with Asperger's and have always masked my traits in order to appear "Normal". I didn't know I was doing that but that's how I got along in the world. I can see the advantages that might have for someone that has found an outlet through acting. Hopkins has always impressed me with how convincing he is in his roles. He is the part he plays and of that I have no doubt. For many of us with Asperger's, we often have a funny relationship with the topic of insanity or mental health. We may go through our entire lives without knowing why we are different but we know there's something out worldly about ourselves. There is immense internal stress associated with ASD that gets concealed through a lifetime of masking. Alcohol is a common form of self medication for Aspies though it is temporary relief at best. Sir Anthony Hopkins is a remarkable man on many levels.

Hopkins is remarkably generous--and also astute--regarding the performance of fellow actors. He's right on the money here about Kathy Bates. He also sent a glowing note to Bryan Cranston for his performance of Walter White in Breaking Bad. The man is just a class act!
