Danimal300zx Well generally yes, but here it's a interviewing technique he intendedly sticks to! Imagine him just letting Sir Ben Kingsley talk, we would still refer on Question Number Two; to very interesting arguments of course, but that's not the idea here. This round is about forcing successfully creative people to answer quickly, authentically and precisely at once.
This is a closing phase of the whole interview done in this manner on purpose. Watch the whole interview which is linked in the description and I believe you will appreciate how this segment fits into the whole. Cheers.
The first movie I ever saw him in was the film adaptation of Shakespeare's A Twelfth Knight where he played Feste the fool. So, naturally, I always think of him as that character xD
Hey there Sir Ben Kingsley, well I'm at a loss for words seeing you on my RU-vid Page. Thanks for being a true fan. Connect with Miranda Kerr and Miranda cosgrove for a meet n greet & multiple tickets to my first Presidential State Dinner in 2024. Merry Christmas and happy New Year for your friends connections but most of all the entire Kingsley Family. God bless for great health for a lifetime.
Met him once in Spain. Great actor but a fucking awful person. Really rude to people and quite horrible. About 30 odd people had the same opinion. But again a fantastic actor.
Got news for you Ben we're all abused kids, now stop playing the "If" game and start dealing in fact. Stop letting your mind drift off course, Take the shalom and put it in your dome. I've come to the conclusion that the only truth going on around here is Yeshua. Ben I don't know your spiritual situation I'm simply informing you in an attempt to lend polish to your ethical legacy.
There is a reason us brits don't make a fuss while you are eating... it's called respect.. oh and you're just an actor... not saving lives.. It appears it's you that needs the reinforcement to bolster your ego, we have just come in to eat.
I'm so glad that he was honest enough to claim that Schindler's List is one of the best ever even though he was in it. There's no reason why that should exempt it, it's important to him and that's all you need.
A great interesting recording! You're only the 3rd person in my life to mention that recording. Took me back to the Chicago of old before Kath died. I wonder if Kingsley would like it.
They seriously underrated Kingsley when they only knighted him. He is a remarkable actor, AND human being. But what really riveted me about this remarkable interview, is when Kingsley described how he arrived at the psychopathic killer mindset in "Sexy Beast," when he said, "he was an abused child." That single sentence put cold chills down my spine. It's why I always tell parents, "Be good to your children."
So he's still demanding to get called Sir, while other people like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins just want you to call them by their first name. The prat level is high in this one.
Mark R. You’re absolutely right Mark R. Kingsley has a huge ego. He demanded to have his name above the title in the Broadway production of Waiting for Godot. Result - the production was scrapped! He demands reference to his being a knight in any production even though it is not etiquette within the acting profession to do so. Not the most popular actor although he is very good.
