Drama Actresses Roundtable: Emilia Clarke, Niecy Nash, Danai Gurira & More | Close Up 

"There's a bit of my brain thats died and we dont know what it is, it's probably my taste in men" - Emilia❤

When Emilia said “There’s a bit of my brain that’s died and I don’t know what it is... it’s probably my taste in men” I knew I LOVED her. 😂😂😂

You know you watch too many Emilia Clarke's interview when you know every single one of her little stories..

Emilia Clarke seems like a very nice and genuine person. She's still mah queen

NEICY, absolutely fulfilled my spirit today. “ I don’t wanna play a sassy anything” it means so much me to that she mentioned that.

I want to give Emilia Clarke a hug. She seems like she just has great vibes and a lot of love

Somebody give Danai a role where she *isn't* STRONG please! She has the range ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m sorry - Did I misunderstand or did Emilia say that the more humanity she tried to bring to Dany, the colder the creators made her be?! Daenerys Targaryen deserved better. Season 8 deserved better.

emilia talking about what it felt like being on the process of recovery after having brain injuries, and how dany saved her has me shaking. i just wish her happiness and love for the rest of her life

DANAI GURIRA IS 41 YEARS OLD PEOPLE. That's all I wanted to contribute.

wow, danai' skin is the star of this roundtable. how the hell is it so spellbinding.

Danai is such a joy to watch and listen to. She's literally glowing

Emilia always seems like such a kind human. Also, I’m always here for Danai. Edit: I’ve fallen in love with Niecy during this entire show.

Niecy Nash is such a beautiful bright light, I love her so much 😭

Niecy said she wakes up funny and she wasn't playing. She had them laughing.

Believe it or not. Supporting actors actually make the movies. The leading can be boring sometimes.

I click because of emilia, but everyone is amazing

Michelle is quiet, but sometimes you draw strenght from just being with others in a safe space. She may feel comfortable enough to be in the company of these women, to listen to their stories and just be in the moment. 💖🙂

Emilia is the type of person who could go ranting about about something all day, and you could still stay engaged and listen.

Michelle seems very reserved. If the moderator doesn't ask her directly she doesn't speak. The moderator likely caught on hence why she kept asking her question in the later half. Niecy is very engaging. Her, Dania and Emilia have vibrant personalities.

About Michelle's quiet participation: I see her silence for the first 18 minutes as neither scandalous nor unjust. These actors all seem natural, kind, graceful; and the moderation seems reasonable. My own preference in these amazing roundtables would be to allow for more interstitial silence -- a few beats in between showing a clip and launching into a statement, some time to elapse after an answer and before the next question. The cultivation of patience with air not being filled with wall-to-wall words. While I'm guessing this isn't a popular preference in this age of video binging and constant stimulation, I find it's where I incline. There is a beauty to silence that makes the talking parts even more exquisite. And it's not like the actor who speaks the most wins. At the same time, I love the way Niecy generously responded to what could have struck the participants as a trite opening question. The whole idea of "making it in Hollywood" could be seen as a cheesy inquiry, an awkward starting place. And NN jumped in with open-hearted sincerity that got the ball rolling and established trust.

Danai really is all that ! Her passion, artistry, integrity really shine through. She's all about women empowerment plus she never speaks on things she doesn't know anything about. You'll never catch Danai posting something on Social Media just because it looks good. She's all about speaking AND acting on things. Whatever it is. It's such a rarity in Hollywood. I'll always root for this beautiful and enigmatic woman. She deserves all the successes. Niecy and Patricia are amazing as well.

I’m so proud of Niecy. I used to watch the reality show she was the host of yeeeeeaaarrrsss ago called Clean House. She has been grinding for a long time and her dedication paying off is beautiful to see.

Emilia is so pure.

I hope Emilia Clarke writes a screenplay about literally anything

You guys should do a child actor round-table!

All of these women are incredibly talented! I was blown away by Niecy Nash in When They See Us. Can’t wait to watch this full round table this evening❤️

Came here solely for Danai. 😍 I've been so in love with her ever since season 3 of TWD and it's been amazing seeing her growth and seeing her in these huge movies now. Also, Niecey is everything too. 💛

Danai Neicey and Emilia held this roundtable down... I am an Emilia super fan and I just adore the fact that she appears very comfortable and relaxed in interviews regardless who she's paired and grouped with..

Emilia Clarke is genuinely my favorite human being.

I've always crushed on Emilia Clarke. I just think she's absolutely adorable. Danai is gorgeous and Niecy is a stunner! A roundtable filled with such talented women.

Someone make a Danai/Viola sister film happen

Really wish Michelle Williams had more of an opportunity to talk. She's one of the best actresses in Hollywood but underrated and underappreciated. She didn't get asked a direct question until 37 minutes in...

Clicked so fast when I saw Niecy. Very intelligent woman. Well spoken..

the way that patricia arquette looks at danai gurira gives me LIFE

Emilia Clarke is really special. She's going to work constantly in the business for the next thirty years, and have a huge fan base.

Mother of Dragons and Okoye in 1 table is the best crossover!!

Michelle is me at any networking event.

Christine Baranski’s show is the best thing on television. Period. Great job Ms. Lacey Rose!

*Here for totally hilarious Niecey Nash and Danai. Danai is so gorgeous. So fluid in the Walking Dead and Black Panther. But more than anything, she's over 40...I'm in shock* .

27:34 danai’s speach has Emelia lookin like she was khaleesi😂

Danaiiiii and that dress!!! ❤❤ also niecy nashhhhhh ❤

Niecy Nash is great. I could listen to her talk for hours.

I was blown away by Niecy.’s performance in “When They See Us”

Love absolutely each and every one of these ladies so much BUT the one that really stood out to me the most was Danai Gurira. She is first of course so physically beautiful but also what she said about standing up for herself and the way she said it during this roundtable was very inspiring and very lovely.

Came for Danai, Niecy, and Emilia 🥰✨🥰✨🥰✨

3 years ago this roundtable was all about the need for "strong, empowering female characters, yadda yadda". Now things seem to have shifted a bit and all of these wonderful ladies are getting such roles. That feels nice. EDIT: Wow! 15 minutes in... and Michelle Williams hasn't said a word or she hasn't been asked anything.

I need Emília Clark and Sarah Paulson in a movie together

Y’all, Michelle Williams is a mature, confident, comfortable grown woman. If she WANTED to speak more she WOULD HAVE. Tell me who the fuck is bullying THE Michelle Williams? Who is speaking over her? Who there would feel the need to??? Could she have been directly prompted more? Sure. But that’s more for us. She fine

Emilia @ 59:00 : "There's a bit of my brain that's died and we don't know what it is and it's......probably my taste in men." LMAO!!!!!!!

I need Emilia to be recognized by the Emmys in the Lead category this year.

Here for Niecy, Danai and Emilia ❤️

Yesss!! Can’t wait to watch! Side note: Danai is giving me melanated realness and I am in awe of her beauty. Ok back to the video 🤗.

Danai and Emilia have the cutest smiles.

Danai's skin is literally the most beautiful thing around that roundtable. Enchanting

Danai has such a beautiful smile!😁 Emilia is so funny and positive. I can't imagine its possible to spend a day with her and not develop a crush 😍

I hope to see Emilia Clarke in more tv series. ❤️

Oh, I would love to go on a nice walk with Emilia Clarke. 😂😂 I’d probably want to go, like, mountain climbing with Danai! 😁😁

I was watching Medium with my mother when she was entering her fortys and I was tennish. She related soooo much to Arquette's character so thank you for resisting producer's pressure to look a "good forty" and being yourself Mrs Arquette. You made my mother feel good with herself, her mothering and professionnal skills as well as her beautiful beautiful body. I love my mum okay.........

It took 19 minutes for Michelle Williams to say a single word, but when she did, I stopped everything and just listened. She's such an underrated and magnetic actor.

Arquette's thoughts are so clear and mature. It's reflecting in her career choices of late. A vastly underrated actor.

Danai is literally sooo gorgeous omggggg

Emilia Clarke has a diferent vibe of Daenerys. I love you Emília, so much

Christine Baranski man, Christine Baranski...she's sooooo cool, classy, glamorous, effortless...

This moderator is the BEST of all THR roundtable journalists, she should host ALL the acting roundtable discussions 😎

I love all the women in the round table they all have such powerful motivations and personas. Specially loved emilia's talk about her article ...and coming from that place of fatigue and vulnerability..and I have seen her grow in the show..I am really proud of her

OKOYE MICHONNE!!!!!!!!! 😘😘😘 thank you for enhancing The Walking Dead and Blackpanther!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So talented actress and wonderful human being who can slice zombies and go to war against Thanos just like that!

After watching this I'm kind of rooting for a Patricia and Danai collaboration. They seem to have a wonderful understated chemistry. How fun would that be??

danai looks amazing. she seemed very shy. you are awesome!

Niece Nash is pure Angel! She's just so brilliant. Great round table. So insightful and such interesting conversation.

Christine Baranski being 67 is beyond me

Literally listening to "Blood of my Blood" as I watch this. Rest well Breaker of Chains.

Danai! Be proud you are the one and only MICHONNE! Followed up by Okoye! We love you! I'm sure you can do so so much more! You go girl!

All the women were great, but just like in game of thrones Emilia Clarke was the star of this roundtable. Such an incredibly strong and talented woman. Niecy Nash was another stand out. Loved her in when they see us. Also, the comedy actress roundtable had a lot of awkward moments (especially in the beginning). This one had none of that.

These round tables are honestly amazing. It’s nice to be able to get in-depth with the actors and be able to see their arts and craft from behind the scenes, not just take their work at face value.

I love how quietly and through smiling and nodding Christine and Michelle interact. The quietest of the lot but they both seemed to be having their own conversation removed from the group and when either of them spoke, they both were so much softer, calmer than the rest, I thought. I loved it.

Ahhhhh, what a great roundtable.

Niecy Nash Is Funny...even when she's being serious. She's the embodiment of #PositiveVibesOnly

The caption at 4:34 completely missed that Danai was obviously speaking about her character of Michonne in The Walking Dead first and foremost. That is one of the most popular comic book series of all time. She was cast as Okoye in Black Panther much later on.

emilia's laugh is soo recognisable

Danai Gurira love love her smart as a whip

michelle williams opens her mouth(finally) at 18:56

Some people want to come home after a long, rough day at work and relax and have dinner prepared for them by their spouse. Emilia Clarke is the kind of woman you'd come home from a horrible day at work, see her, and want to make dinner for her.

Young Actors Round Table!!!!!!! Yara Shahidi, Jharrel Jerome, Joey King, Chloe Grace Moretz, Zendaya, Ryan Destiny, Gaten Matarazzo.

Danai is absolutely gorgeous

Christine is so sophisticated and classy but at the same time she so down to earth and funny and I love her smile. 😊

"WHY DID I EAT GRAPEFRUIT FOR A WEEK" LMFAOOOO

59:00 There's a bit of my brain that's died and we don't know what it is and it's probably my taste in men. I used to love her, but now...SO MUCH MORE.

These roundtables keep getting better and better keep up the good work

Danai, my love.

Did anyone else tear up so much whenever Niecy Nash talked? I'd give her an oscar just for the things she talked about here, would love to see her in many more roles.

Danai glows of beauty omg.

I love this Roundtable everyone was respectful and the host didn’t interrupt them. I just loved it ❤️👍😊

I love THR, this one is ranked as one of my top 5 favorites. These ladies are awesomely intelligent, talented, and beautiful.

Niecy Nash is also outstanding in the underrated HBO show Getting On. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it!

Can we just have the same reporter for every round of the roundtable. SHE'S AWESOMEEEEE!

An exceptionally great round table. This series is honestly my favorite on youtube.

"the body doesn't know you're acting" - - one of the most profound statements I've ever heard and it came from an actor doing one of these roundtable discussions.

I really appreciate that they have gender specific roundtables, too many other channels naively think it doesnt matter

Christine Baranski is in her 60s???? Wow.
