James Franco & Dustin Hoffman | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation 

When James Franco makes an interview he becomes Dave Skylark from The Interview.

James Franco is owning this..gosh what a confident lad. He is sitting next to a legend and interviewing him like a pro...I loved this conversation

I love this side of RU-vid

I grew up watching James Franco as Harry Osborn in the original Spider-Man trilogy. The key part of why those movies are still the best movie adaption of Spider-Man, was the huge amount of talent which was present in the main cast. Toby Maguire was amazing as Peter Parker, and James Franco was a truly great Harry Osborn. He brought so much emotion and feeling to the character, and ever since I've thought Franco to be one of our finest actors :)

James Franco - that body language , confidence sitting across from Dustin Hoffman !

Franco should teach a Masterclass on how to be Franco.

Love this. Its all natural. More actors please.

James Franco was so good at playing Tommy Wiseau, the editors of this video literally thought he was Tommy Wiseau and credited him as the star of "The Room"

He looks damn good for being 80 yrs old.

James Franco ("The Room")??? It wasn't the disaster artist???

There is such a great connection between them. I wish this was longer.

It was clear James had prepared the interview in advance because his questions were so spot on, but Dustin was like "uh, funnies experience on set?" buzzfeed type of question lol

Dustin Hoffman is so underrated as an actor. It's shocking.

I adore Franco but he has no filter. Which makes me like him even more.

Franco is basically interviewing himself.

Franco's so loud haha

I just want to see The Disaster Artist already

I'm starting to appreciate more and more James Franco

Dustin Hoffman is amazing. Such talent. Franco is lucky to be sitting across from him.

James Franco ("The Disaster Artist") He didn't play in The Room, guys :)

James Franco is so awesome! Dustin too, but how generous is James in this duo, he acts like an interviewer.

I'm 41 and I will never give up.

Loving these interviews, nice change having people with mutual interests talk about their experiences!

I really enjoyed this interview. Such great energy and questions ☺️

I felt like I was watching David Skylark

Dustin Hoffman has aged so well . Love his authenticity . Fabulous actor too .

"Why Him?" was inspired by Dustin Hoffman and Jonah Hill? lolol

Best one yet!

Captain James Hook 🥰 Franco needs his own talk show.

A walking legend and a future legend both in the same room

Man two thespians having a ball geeking out. Franco is literally on cloud nine. Literally kid in a candy store.

These two were paired for no other reason that they were both me tooed!!

I love James, so good! I mean god knows what they were talking about for half of that haha

James, be kind, do not interrupt people you admire! Good talk, by the way!👌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

Lmao the description say James Franco ("The Room")

The Disaster Artist, not The Room.

The whole concept of The disaster artist is amazing. I mean they have to make a movie where they need to act poorly. Wtf if people say the acting was bad, that's the whole point. Haha 😂

Dustin still has it. He looks great!

OH MY GOD YES! I saw Meyorwitz last night and the disaster artist a couple days before!!! Love this

great interview

I literally love hearing James talk about The Room and Tommy. I love his perspective.

GREAT Channel Thanks a Ton

Now I feel ashamed that I’ve never seen The Room. I’ll watch it just so I can appreciate The Disaster Artist more.

Travolta and Mel Gibson would be interesting to watch.

James Franco ("The Disaster Artist") how could they get it wrong, have they seen it?

James Franco will never stop wanting to break into that tommy accent

I love James Franco in The Deuce wish it never ended

oh thanks youtube for that. I can sense appreciation and respect at each corner of this interview room

Note to James Franco: watch the episode with Tom Hanks and Viola Davis and the manner in which they ask one another a question and actually allow them the opportunity to answer w/out interruption. Dustin Hoffman deserved better.

That was perfect.

" This is the way I chose to survive"...that's the best way...love it...

Amazing actors ! Very cool

That was fun. Two wild and crazy guys.

Dustin Hoffman on ''David Skylark''

This is the only one I could watch all the way through.

How did James cure his sleepy eyes

THESE TWO MAKE SENSE.....LIKE REALLY MAKE SENSE

haha! yes, not 'The Room', Variety! edit the description! Love these interviews; thanks a bunch:)

Another brilliant video, the pairing is always spot on it's so wicked. I hope that Morgan Freeman and Jach Nicholson are paired up and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, that would be magic.

I feel like hugging Dustin Hoffman

Love, love, love Dustin...and I like James too.

Could've watched this for another hour! Please do one with Idris Elba

the description is wrong - it should say: Franco ("The Disaster Artist")

I had a dream that you did this with Andy Samberg and Lena Heady so now that needs to happen right ?

I love Hoffman's humor so much !

These are really fun!

Hardly a Dustin interview, James talks the whole time

The Description is wrong about what film James is for.

great show by franco!

"Papillon" my favorite Hoffman flick

Variety you are really on to something here.

Such a great human being Dustin Hoffman is. Franco is not even closer to his legacy for 1000 miles but he acts as if they are even. A true legend, one of the best yet!

James, don’t be so anxious. Allow Hoffman to finish!!!

I really enjoy listening to James Franco tell stories

Omg yesssss

I always fought with my friends saying that Dustin Hoffman was a legend at par with some of the greatest actors and he never got as much respect as Pacino or De Niro. I loved him in a lot of films but Kramer vs Kramer left me speechless. When I heard, Dustin was accused of sexual assault, it really hurt me. I hope he would come out innocent because I haven't been able to watch any film of him since then.

Note to Variety: You have all these amazing actors together in what could/ should be a terrific chat between them, but .... the environment must be too obtrusive, or the cameramen, lighting etc must get in the way as they generally all come over more awkward than necessary. Put them in a room together, set up the cameras on them .. then go out & leave them to it with a couple of glasses of wine/ pints of beer whatever & let them just TALK!!! Then edit, cut, whatever afterwards as you would probably have gold there.

Am I the only one who feels like a torch has been passed?

Big fan.

Not sure why, but for some reason couldn't connect to anyone of James Franco roles, neither did to this interview with him, and it was with one of the greatest - Dustin Hoffman.

Too short! Could have listened to their conversation for another 2 hours...

Just what I needed

Two greats, da**!

James laughter sounds like he coughing so cute!!!

The description of the video reads "James Franco ('The Room')". *lol* The movie he's made is called "The Disaster Artist". The Room wouldn't be THE Room WITH James Franco in it. ^^ (It's correct on the title card that is being shown during the video.)

The perv interview

The Description is incorrect. The movie James is in is “The Disaster Artist” based off “The Room”

James Franco went full on Dave Skylark in this interview.

When Dustin said "1964 or 1965", Franco's face just read, 'you're so old' lmao

Fuckkkkk this is a deadly combination.

I am at 21:20....and I am SO waiting for James to talk to Dustin about his triumph of a movie~ Little Big Man~ it is masterful! Watch it if you are a Hoffman fan~~ definitely his Best! I bugs me that no one talks about this movie with Dustin in any interview I have seen~~ definitely a missed opportunity.

Franco, let the man talk!

Next Actors on Actors should be either; Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson Tom Hanks and Bill Murray Danny DeVito and Christopher Walken

Skylark!

Franco could take this opportunity to listen and learn instead he keeps cutting in and making it about him.

Dustin "I'm about to go down" Hoffman

This was a very fast click

This did not age well.

Oh, hai Dustin Hoffman.

The way Franco talks and explains things sounds like he’s lying sometimes 😂
