John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones, The Lord of the Rings) joins us this week for one of my favorite interviews yet.
The guy is prolific! He gets into everything from his pessimism heading into Lord of the Rings, the intimidation of working alongside Sean Connery, the immense difficulty of filming Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, and so much more.
John was an open book this week, going on to talk about the pain of losing a child, his outlook on life after death, and the current vacuum of creativity our industry is stuck in. Hope you enjoy.

Anyone watching Shogun now, he played Rodrigues in the 80s miniseries

@kevinkuenn5733 Месяц назад

Nothing against the new Rodrigues, he's perfectly fine, but the contrast between him and John in the original miniseries is night and day. John Rhys-Davies just leapt off the screen in the original. It's not easy to upstage Toshiro Mifune!

The 80s one was amazing. Rewatched it few times.

@derekchin6242 Месяц назад

What timing! Just finished watching Episode 5 of Shogun (SO GOOD), and am on a FB Group where we’ve been talking about everything Shogun, including the 1980 miniseries. John Rhys-Davies was incredible as Rodrigues. Now I’m here watching to see if he mentions it at all. :-D

My husband, kids and I met John Rhys-Davies back in January. He was so sweet and kind. Our son had fallen asleep in my husband's arms, and my husband was saying that his back was killing him, from holding our son. John got up, came around the table and gave my husband a shoulder and back rub. We were not expecting that, and yes, I took pictures. Such a lovely man !

@LazyEyeNZ Месяц назад

I remember John giving so much praise to the cast and crew of LOTF in the DVD sets as a kid and to hear him stand by it 20 years later is touching.

@fotopix61 Месяц назад

Hey Michael, I've worked, at Cons, as the photo-op photographer, with John Rhys, for many years. I consider him a friend and I agree, he is a great guy. Exactly as you presented him, he is. A great guest, for you and a great dinner companion! Awesome show! BTW, I photographed you, once, back before covid and, for your fans, you, too, are a very genuine, sweet guy. All the best-Craig

@AnointedFlow 17 дней назад

@pCeLobster Месяц назад

LOTR was every perfect actor at the perfect time in their career. Pure casting gold. What John brings to it is inimitable. Warmth, humor, he practically runs away with the trilogy. My wife had never seen it until a couple years ago nor ever read the books, and Gimli was by far the character she enjoyed and remembered the most.

@Justusson Месяц назад

I agree with the casting of the LOTR. There was not a misplaced actor or anything else in those movies. They were spot on. However, I’m not sure it was at the perfect time in everyone’s career. Looking at Elijah Woods and some others, they seem to have been immortalised as their characters, never breaking free from them enough to go on entirely. Much like Leonard Nimoy - who wrote not only one book called “I’m not Spock”, but then also another book actually called “I am Spock” - they seem to carry the legacy with them, wherever they go. That can’t be easy.

@Anduril1974 Месяц назад

He is an absolute legend, one of my favourite people. I met him once with my daughter at a con in the UK and he was extraordinary. So warm and kind. He was taken aback by my young daughter's desire to be an archaeologist when she grows up and patted me on the back and said 'Well done dad'. I'll NEVER forget that moment. Love him!

@theLEGOcpa Месяц назад

John Rhys-Davies is great, no questions there! But I think this episode really showcased Rosey's deep skill as an interviewer. This is definitely one of those interviews where you just let the guest talk because of his breadth of knowledge and experience, and you did just that. You're the man Rosey! 💯

@BeardedDanishViking Месяц назад

Which he should do with everyone. He's far too prone to interrupting his guests.

John is such a welcoming person; I was working a convention in Jacksonville, FL and day one he was just walking through EVERY isle of artist alley and vendors just going telling people to have a good and being friendly, first time I saw a guest starting the day like that

@TigersEye7609 Месяц назад

That was fantastic. His effervescence is contagious, his wisdom is profound, and there's such a unique and enriching texture about him and the way he speaks that it was nearly upsetting that the conversation was only barely an hour long. I wanted more. Many thanks to the hard working talent at Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum and Mr. Rhys-Davies for making this happen. It was truly a joy.

@CinemaGulp Месяц назад

Absolute legend and a humble one at that. He defines the class that used to be in the acting profession and still can be found in pockets. Just one of the greats.

I absolutely love this man. Me and my brother's family met him at a Texas pinball festival years ago and he was so amazing and sweet to each and every fan. And it's not an act, that charm he effortlessly lets loose on screen, that's him. I met lots of celebrities at the pinball festival over the years and him and Sam Jones (of Flash Gordon/Ted fame) were my absolutely favorites, by far.

What a great interview and what incredible answers from John. I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly. A group of friends and I were at the premiere of the Two Towers in NYC, standing outside. It was snowing and understandably the actors who were dropped off walked directly into the theater. John had a cane from an injury and still took time to come over to the line of us waiting and shake our hands. It was awesome.

@thatepicwizardguy Месяц назад

There's definitely a curse of marketing people controlling what's being made on large scales right now but at the same time we're also seeing original and/or interesting stories and ideas breaking through and getting huge accolades (plus making money) such as The Whale, Parasite, Poor Things, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and more of course. I think it's a terrible shame that this trend of franchise chasing hasn't died off faster when there are clearly some awesome writers, directors and lesser known actors who could bring to life what could be an entirely new vibe to theaters and change up the modern movie watching experience. Good episode. John Rhys-Davies and that voice always invoke such magnitude and charisma.

@Maazzzo Месяц назад

@@vladpiranha his death was so cruel. Even when watching it, I could tell something had happened behind the scenes-- they gave him an incurable disease, had his brains sucked out from a Kromagg, shot several times point blank in the chest on a planet that was going into a black hole and going to explode. Talk about overkill. They wanted it clear that Arturo was NEVER coming back. And the show jumped the shark when he left. The only decent episode after that was Slidecage, and even that wasn't nearly as good as it should have been. I hope they'll bring him back and talk about what happened. As I understand it, JRD just was asking for better scripts (which was fair, the scripts were bad) and then they killed him off. I'd like to have known how it all went down from his point of view.
