Get Tickets to A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE: www.broadway.com/shows/a-view-... Paul Wontorek sits down with the charming British star of A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE at the Lyceum Theatre.
Funny 😁 thing. My husband Jim and I loved Russell Tovey and Jonathan Groff, since the series “looking “. Then here is a “coincidence “ we found: Jim was born on November 14th so was Tovey. Groff was born on March 26th, and so was I.
as a fellow actor, I have so much respect for the performers who can go from TV and Film to Stage and back and forth. Completely different outlets that require different mindsets and set of skills that Russell is able to do so effortlessly. Bravo!
I don't think I've ever been so much in love with an actor... My goodness, and he gets better with age which is crazy because 10 years ago he was already perfect to me.; I usually don't have obsessions like this;.. but he his... wow and he looks so sweet as well
I can't make myself watch Looking The Movie, wish there was a different ending. Although I was always rooting for Kevin, realistically I knew him and Patrick were not a match made in heaven. Settling with Richie is kind of disappointing. The best closure from my perspective would be Jonathan Groff's character single, happy and still looking for that dream guy.
I SO AGREE! I JUST WATCHED IT THIS YEAR (november) AND I AM JUST SO HOOKED BUT IT MADE ME MAD AND LONGING FOR THE SEASON 3 AFTER KNOWING THAT THE PRODUCER WONT BE RELEASING IT!
Him as Kevin honestly was way more mature than Patrick and he really didn't try to make it won't and just ran away. Everything Kevin said was true and I wish Patrick tried
@@supermilkguy he ended up well with Richie, but Kevin made a really good point that Patrick should've tried to work the relationship. They didn't even properly start. I did want to see Patrick with Kevin, he looked so happy.
5:52 for the start of Groff talk I think we all know, Groff and him probably hooked up for multiple fucking sessions when they weren't filming ;) for research
Hahaha , you're probably right , there is a lot of real "sexual tension" between them , its beyond their characters , there was definitely something going on between them!
Russell Tovey should have his own TV show in America but I always want a retooled version of the season 4 of Being Human where Annie, John, Nina and George stay alive and together.
The Lyceum was a temple to Apollo God or the Arts attended by the Muses the theaters in New York and London are named in honor of that. Can't believe people in the theater not know that.
I'm stil waiting for any sneak peek of Looking 2016. I will hate if at he end Patrick remains single and hanggin' with his friends.. I need to see him happy with Richie or Kevin
first time i saw 'Looking' was the movie... i always arrive incredibly late to any party... and, oh, he is so delicious... those ears... and, i'm a picky SOB :o)
He is one of those actors that just keep on doing good work but who will probably never be a leading star. Britain and Australia seem to turn out more of them than the USA, but perhaps not. Jerry O'Connell in the USA comes to mind as an American example of someone who has plodded along and done quite well, but I suspect he is one of a few Americans who can say this.Quite like this guy, but those ears!! He outshone Benedict Cooper and the others in The History Boys, I think. His character is so ordinary and that is only achieved with good acting.
I'd say he's getting rather popular because of his TV and Film work in the US now. He's on Quantico on ABC and he's the new favorite character of the season, I hadn't known him from any other work until that show and he's one of my favorite performers now.
+Juan Ayala film, "The History Boys" play 2004, film 2006 was my first awareness of him. He toured with it on stage then the film and the rest is really history. He has not stopped working since. Theatre, cinema, television. He did a revival of Angels in America, London and on Broadway. "The Pass" stage 2014, the film 2016 brilliant. He did both. Being Human as werewolf UK version totally superior production. Quantico and Looking are the least of his best work. His fame and success in Europe came long before those shows.
+Charley Jane "Gay or not"? Does being gay somehow automatically make you less attractive? I bet you're the sort of person who says "gay best friend" as well. Let me tell you, this low-key homophobia is just as bad as calling a gay person the "f" word. Check yourself.
Excuse me, I'm not homophobic, I've never been. I just meant that I don't care if he is gay or if he isn't, it's his choice. I respect this actor one hundred per cent...
@@nekusakura6748 No, he was engaged in 2018 and since him and the fiance are back together they may be again. This interview was from 2016, a good two years beforehand.
Really? You give us your opinion? Mature-like? That since your character was in a relationship that means the other guy should have been more adult-wise? Cos you say starting their thing he is unavailable already, so - what? he should end being unavailable and that is the mature thing? hahahooe - this is really lame, Russell! thank you, for such a turn off opinion!
you don't understand how acting works. An actor can't condemn their own character, it would effect their ability to play that character. Villains don't ever think they're a villain. Donald Trump doesn't think he's a bad guy no matter how ignorant, hateful greedy and destructive he is.
I think that what Russell was saying that if you get involved with somebody knowing that they are already with someone, you don't get to change the rules later and insist that they break up with who they are with. You are an adult. If you want to be exclusive with somebody and they are already with somebody, don't date them. Very simple. Like Russell said, he knew what he was getting into when they first started seeing each other.
what he is Gay too 😭😭 what is happening to world why every handsome man is taken or married or Gay 😭 Jonathan is Gay too Zachary is Gay too who else is Gay 😭 I love u guys stay happy ❤
completely he is essentially saying that because they are boys that they were better equipped to do those shows as all boys and that as all women all hell would break loose ie the boys are more capable together than the women are. he's just perpetuating an idea of women being catty and emotional but the reality is that many women together doing what they were doing is probably a scary thought for most men and the misogyny creeps in girls wouldn't have been able to handle our tough maddening schedule because if i struggled she certainly couldn't cut it because im a man whose the master of his emotions. men have been trained to believe emotion and struggle is a weakness rather than a natural and necessary reaction to life. even an actor can make this mistake. this is just a typical misapprehension about women and is a myth fostered and perpetuated in our media reality tv shows etc. women are no less likely to work well together than men. women and men express their emotions differently that doesn't mean that men handle them better just that they reveal themselves differently. Russell talks about how the boys helped each other pull themselves together, women would do the same just in a different way. Studies are inconclusive in the differences of women and mens ability to empathise some suggesting that men can be more objective when recognising emotion while women will identify it but also experience a degree of that emotion by identifying it. Either way the boys ability to support each other would be no more than the girls. Russell might believe it would be chaos because what he might consider emotionally draining or difficult would be a better and more effective support system for the women than the model that the boys employed.
Yes this is spot on! I guess it's not his fault, after all he is a product of the times but it is nonetheless frustrating when an influential person perpetuates the problem
yes he's too busy enjoying his life and its privilege for which he has earned and yet it falls on all people to be more informed about gender parity especially if you are someone with a larger platform to speak upon and especially as a man in which case you are more likely not to be as familiar with sexism towards women than you would if you were female. Im genuinely surprised someone in the industry he is in would say that because no doubt his female colleagues would have a thing or two to say about it. Anyway thank you to everyone involved in Looking thanks Tovey and thank goodness only five more days now till it comes out. lets hope someone will make it accessible in Australia (prettyprettyplease with Groffs ass on top) i couldn't get hbo even if i wanted to.
YES! I came to the comment section to see if anybody else was pissed about that comment. I'm like, give me a f*cking break! Men are just as prone to being emotional and constantly engage in pissing matches with each other. Quit perpetuating the stereotype that women are bitchy and hard to work with.
