DP/30: Inglorious Basterds, actor Christoph Waltz 

why can't everyone be as well spoken as he is

i love the way christoph talks, i could listen to this guy for hours..

"Playing funny isn't funny, and boring at best." Such a good quote.

I got the impression from Hans Landa that he didn't hate people, he enjoyed them, he played with them, but he was all to willing to destroy his playthings when he was finished with them.

I feel smarter just listening to this guy

I really want Waltz & Gary Oldman to be in a movie together

I gotta say, I am pretty impressed. I wasnt aware Hans Landa could act like this. His interpretation of a normal person is so flawless. Seems like things went ok for him in the States after the war.

Its great that the interviewer and the actor listen to each other and give each other time to answer. A really enjoyable interview.

I know him from German movies and always felt he was underrated and needed bigger roles. But they did not give him that chance until Tarantino helped him.

Stop saying the interviewer sucks. This is what an unedited interview is like, awkward pauses and misunderstandings and whatnot, that just goes with the territory of having a forced chat with someone. I happen to think the interviewer is quite good.

I have a feeling in django unchained he wasn't acting. but reacting to what the other characters were doing haha. his acting seems so real

01:52 - A Windows XP error can be heard in the background lol

Christoph Waltz could read mathematic books and I would listen to him! :D What a great actor! He is awesome!

Man this guy can act. He is so believable no matter the role. A total joy to watch him in action. He has honed his craft.

god he's brilliant

If Christoph Waltz wandered into my house whilst typing this I would definitely offer him a glass of delicious milk 🙂

I love the relaxed vibe of the format of the interviews on this channel.

He's so cultured--I love listening to him speak! His performance in Inglourious Basterds was superb. The movie was marvelous. I must rewatch it.

He looks like a sexy version of Steve Carrell

Sorry it hurt so much, Mulan. The format is conversational. Not for everyone. Be well.

Such an elegant, talented man. What a rarity in Hollywood. I find it interesting and would love to be able to ask him if it's in his nature as an Austrian to understand the concept of a director and do as written rather than the actors we sometimes have who seem to be more concerned with their own image than what the director's overall view of the production is. It's a different point of view coming from a european background vs an American one, it seems.

I absolutely adore this man. Everything he does amazes me. A true idol in my eyes!

Oh my God. He looks so good and so young. I can't believe that he is over 50 years old on this video !

One of the best performances in acting history. Terrific character!

Never saw such a handsome man like this before. I saw just 2 movies, inglorious bastards and DJango. I was hooked! I never saw any of his German shows sadly. I love his accent. Although I have to say he was so good I saw him as a real nazi for a second there and wow! Idk maybe it was the handsome uniform, his voice is so suductive, misspelled, I love him stumbling over the English words. He's so human. And humble. For a German i was brought up to hate germans (dad fought nazis.) But I have changed my mind because of this man. I know now the war is long over, and after watching this interview I see the real Christoph, and man he's a fantastic, the best!!! Actor!!!! He never stumbles in the movies. He's that good. Of course I'm in love with him. I'm 62, older than him, but I love him.DJango movie did that. He looks great in a beard, and I hate beards! He's everything i was taught to hate, and I refuse to hate him EVER! I love him, hopelessly. I haven't had a man in 25 years! I'm so lonely, but seeing him everytime I think I could marry him arranged marriage and be happy! But alas we covet what we see closest to us. TV and movies have given us a wide range of stars to covet, but alas! They are indeed untouchable. He's very private I heard. I kinda missed half the interview, no captions and I am very hearing impaired, even with professional speaker to my ear I can hear him and love that voice! I'll die alone, but in my dreams I have my many loves from TV and movies. Christoph has shook me up inside and I never loved anyone, but I sadly do love him and he's not mine to love. That's a problem with seeing only movies and TV, I have no one else! My neighbors all speak Spanish. I'd prefer it to be German but alas not a German neighborhood anymore. First black moves in all our German neighbors ran away fast! I was left with only African men to choose from so no, I haven't dated. I'm not prejudice per say, my kid is half black. Of course he left me alone with the baby. I was just to shy around white men. I probably would be tongue tied if I met Christoph!!! I want to hug him so bad. Love him! But Hollywood has created a slew of actors we all fall for. Well, I fell for him. I know he would never date me or love me, He's a star now! I always had bad luck finding a good man. I just didn't know what to do. I was a virgin til I was 23! And I screwed that up. No white wedding now for me. I felt ruined. All I have are my fantasies. Sad but true. Real regular men just don't hold my interest. It's sad. My life is almost over. I'm young at heart but going on social security and about to try to live on 400$ a month. I'm terrified. I think actors when they get old like Christoph are blessed! Handsome, in demand, and I don't know where my next meal will come from. Sorry, it's sad but true. I am a joke and a waste of space. I will always love Christoph but I also will truly be alone. That hurts. Dreams are my only happiness. Dreams of Christoph.

This man is a fucking CHARISMA FACTORY!!

Such a brilliant man, love his work, he's so good.

I'm sure it's appropriate for many actors but for an actor of such staggering talent to not get the recognition his talent deserves for 30 years is a crime. He is a joy to watch in every single scene I've seen him in.

Incredible interview. First time I saw mr. Waltz being so expressive and talkative.

Unlike any interviewer when they interupt him and talk to much, ask question but never really wanna hear the answer. They dont understand he is very intelligent and chooses his words carefully to describe the answer best. This is one of those rare interview where Waltz so relaxeled and able to talk alot. Thank you for the interviewer👍 Waltz is enchanting btw, i never thought i'd fall for someone his age.

I love how Waltz gets so comfortable in this interview. Asking about film history and such.

he's actually pretty good looking for his age!

And he played in django hell of a actor .has so much style and charisma that can't matched

Seems like he loves his roles more than the interviews. More acting, less talking.

I'm so glad he was introduced to American film industry. I've gone back to watch his previous work, and realized we watched the movie Kopfstand in my high school German class ten years ago. He's enchanting to watch.

How is it possible not to love this man? Brilliant actor, amzaing man.

DP 30, you do a terrific work. Top shelf interview.

Best actor! He is bloody brilliant

christoph is completely right about deadpan comedy, its the best form of comedy because it's not playing funny its being funny, being naturally entertaining and not forcing a laugh out of an audience. it's so easy for played out comedy to be cringy and turn sour. Deadpan is so much more genuine and cool honestly.

Everybody say “Thank you Mr. Tarantino.”

What makes him a great actor is believability and a sort of sympathy with his character, and all that has to come from great preparation!

What a phenomenal actor! I hope he gets so many great roles because he deserves it!

i have the biggest crush on this man omfg

This man could read me a molecular biology textbook, and I'd be completely entertained.

I think his character in Inglorious Basterds has to be my fave movie character of all time... but it still bugs me... what is with the milk and cream??

absolutely adorable and brilliant actor!!!

We love you Christopher !!! Don't stop acting !

“Overnight success after thirty-something years.” Don’t quit something you are passionate about just because you are not “succeeding” in it. Most of the people you look up to have years of work behind them that you can’t really see.

He remembers something his daughter said over twenty years ago? Shit my daddy issues are rising... Oh no you don't! Get back into the box where you belong. Christoph I love you :'(

Fantastic interview with a brilliant and incredibly talented man. He was by far the best part of Django Unchained.

Christoph Waltz needs to be in Roman or Greek war movie like Troy. This need to freakin happen.

He is so handsome!!!

"When u start to like it, you lose the process". Great point for any art form. Painting, writing, and so on

His Voice 🥰 He is so Handsome 😍❤

You can tell this man is very educated. Great actor. If I were a producer I'd hire him in a heart beat!!!! He's got a classic type appeal!!!

This guy needs to play as a Bond villain...

If there's ever a Jordan Peterson movie, Waltz is the one.

So smart and humble

...which really demonstrates how good of an actor he is seeing as how he's Austrian.

It all depends on the part. We all have a roll to play. Excellent interview. I really enjoyed Christoph.

he is a very clever and smart man. sure he is.

It's great to see how deep Mr. Waltz dived into such a character as Hans Landa by understanding a German Spy character. I am sure it took a lot of time for him to undergo a tough and Cynical character like Hans Landa. Salute for your immaculate performance.

So much hate for the interviewer in the comments! Why? Guess, some fans are just overprotective of their idol, no matter if he is in any way threatened or offended. I really enjoy this channel. David's interviewing style is perfect for creating interesting relaxed conversations. And he continually demonstrates deep knowledge and love for cinema. This interview is no exception.

I don't understand how he didn't become well known sooner. The dude's a fucking great actor.

First question, and you can see what he is thinking: "What an idiot ...!" With best regards from Austria, the real cowcountry!

Such a Superlative actor

Waltz ist der beste. und sein englisch fluent.das macht richtig laune da zuzuhören!

i'm so happy for him how everything worked out after basterds... and now the 2nd tarantino movie :-)

When you interviewing someone, have good, educated questions to ask. Don't act star struck as soon as they sit down.

Watching this jolly interview, just waiting for that long sudden silence, stare into your soul, "you are hiding enemies of the state aren't you." 👀

The discussion about why it's accepted to have the same theater play be executed over and over, while the same can't be said for remaking a movie is actually very obvious and simple: Due to the nature of a live theater play, the only way you can have that experience again is to go back to the theater and have either the same actors or other actors get up on stage and do it all over again. In cinema, thanks to the technology of recording, if you wanna watch Jurassic Park again, you just put the DVD or stream it, and watch it again as many times as you like. Hence the common criticism of certain remakes and soft reboots (especially those made on movies that were considered perfect and needed nothing else added at the time), in which people say "This movie didn't need to be made. It was already made and I can watch it whenever I want". The criticism is legit. Especially if such remake isn't adding anything new. That said, of course we should not completely discard remaking a movie, if the filmmaker feels they have something new and unique to add.

I wish they had done this in german as well. I would love to hear him talk about the craft more. Its very interesting to hear how people view this profession.

Lovely interview. Really highlights the many varied and thought out facets of this marvelous actor. Here he is anything but brash, even when blunt. Thoughtfulness, consideration. Listening and then telling his truth, while never becoming declarative. I love when an interview enhances my respect for an actor.....or anyone, and this one did!

I disagree with the people who think this interview was stilted, I got the impression that Waltz is quite a serious person who takes a bit of time to warm up, by two-thirds through there's clearly a good rapport.

OMGGGgg his laugh at 3:55 i'm dying.

why do many people think he sounds ANGRY? he sounds a little bitter when he was asked about his past career but otherwise he looks like he's just a serious kind of guy to me.

Best interviews on youtube

gotta love that dank dp/30 camera moves.. will be a copied thing in film soon enough.. like tarantino's POVs.

stupid ass questions,but so awesome answers....so much talent,and i inteligence in a seamingly ordinary guy. just mindblown

Interesting story he has about his career acheivements

Christoph won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for both Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. 2 Oscars in 4 years.

Actually, partially... he also doesn't seem comfortable with the goofy interviewer.

Not to take away from what Christoph is talking about, I am floored by the the vastness of his vocabulary and his command of the English language which is not his mother tongue... Surely he does the same with the other languages he knows...

He was born in Vienna, Austria. His father was German, and his mother was Austrian. So he's both.

1:52 Waltz.exe fatal error. Do you want to restart the application?

Interesting interview. Good interviewer, awesome interviewee. Very interesting overall, and I kinda knew all that before clicking it. I call that validation.

Is it weird that i have a huge crush on him and he’s probably 64!!!!

he´s a great man and an amazing actor, even if he dont like to say who is a god actor and who is nbot ,he is really good

I love this interview, more because it is hard to pull out a good interview or conversation from Christoph waltz. I really like the format of the interview.. Thanks.

I dare to disagree. Waltz stole the Basterds the same way Samuel Jackson stole Django. Still, Christoph Waltz was fantastic but Jackson just blew me away. Just my opinion. Cheers

I really love his voice! It's captivating.

That 2012 joke just didn’t land 😢

He sounds like an individual who's serious about his shit. And I dunno if it immediately clicked with with Waltz when the interviewer said the "new actor" bit, in the beginning. He can't have been the first to make that mistake. That could easily taint the whole intro.

Imagine if "Hollywood" would have discovered him in 1979 instead of 2009.

i have this professor at uni and he gives the worst homeworks and i really hate him but he looks exactly like christoph so everytime he smiles i go OK *__*

I would have punched the interviewer in the face.

Have you seen Pulp Fiction? Sam did yell a lot in that movie, but I don't think anyone can argue that there was no emotion in his performance as Jules Winfield. I think Sam is an underrated actor that deserved an Oscar nod for his part as Stephen in Django, another performance that was chock full of emotion. Try watching Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, and Django again and you will see the true depth of his performances. He steps inside of his characters.

One example of a great actor who comes to mind that might meet his qualifications is Chris Cooper. Has played a variety of roles and brings a lot to each.

Really happy I stumbled upon this interview, I'm really impressed. Have a like.

First thing out of the interviewers mouth is false information. And Waltz called him out on it lol....great start. I swear these interviewers do zero research about who they are interviewing. I've seen multiple interviewers where they think Christoph is a new actor and Christoph has to correct them. I'm embarrassed for the interviewers.
