Regina King & Aunjanue Ellis | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation 

My heart goes out to Regina King. Such a beautiful soul.

The Icon Regina and multifaceted actor Aunjanue, priceless!

This is my favorite actor on actor Variety interview! Thank you for sharing this gem.

Her Performance in Jerry McGuire was AMAZING OMG Black love‼️We needed that Her Cuba killed that it was everything.

Margie and Mary Ann Fisher reunited! Love it! #Ray

Absolutely wonderful conversation. ❤️

Where it is so beautiful to see you guys whose paths crossed on Ray and If Beale Street could talk, as well the fact as your fellow thespian, you both have a similar energy of talent I love. Ms. Ellis I love all your work and Regina consistent flow with your gift. So nice to see you guys sharing space while you have a moment. Regina you have been ony prayers. You ladies deserve the best! Win! Loved The Harder They Film Regina and it should have gotten a SAG-AFTRA awards.

This made my heart smile 🥰

Love them both!!! 💓 😊 🙌🏾

Regina my daughter and I just love you so much 💕

My heart breaks for Regina, I know this was filmed before her sons passing. I am so sorry for her loss.

Aunjanue is a wonderful actress. She always has such a powerful screen presence. She never disappoints. I'm so glad she's finally getting the recognition she deserves after all these years. I hope she wins the Oscar.

Condolences to Regina and her family! But nice to see King and Ellis talk with each other! Hopefully Ellis will get nominated for an Oscar. (Edit: SHE DID!) 22:14 Ellis getting emotional about how King is an icon is so touching 😭

no but why did i cry with Aunjanue?? Regina is an icon and so is she! Love them both.

These two legends. These Queens. I hope Regina has felt/feels our prayers 🙏🏾🙏🏾

That’s Oscar nominated Actress Aunjanue Ellis to y’all!! Long overdue! 🎉🎊🏆✊🏾

I'm assuming this was recorded before Regina's son passed away and I wish they would make a disclaimer somewhere stating so.

It was refreshing to see two Black women in a conversation like this.

As a young black actress, the depth and longevity of their careers is a beacon. They inspire me to keep up the grind! I appreciate you uploading this with respect to Regina’s loss.

BLACK EXCELLENCE , LEGENDS, DIVINE BEINGS. REGINA BEEN KING!

LOVED every single second of this beautiful convo between these iconic women. Thoughts and prayers are with Regina and her fam 💜💜💜

I love both Regina’s and Aunjanue’s work but if you haven’t seen The Book of Negros with Aunjanue Ellis you’ve missed one of her best movies ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and I just love everything Regina has done.

Love Regina and my condolences on her loss. Aunjanue has always been a reliable actress, she's been acting for a while and usually makes me cry.

This was absolutely beautiful. As a Black Woman, it sincerely warmed my soul to see these two women honoring one another so genuinely. You felt the love. You felt the respect. You felt the tears. WHEW!!! Regina is, and always has been, so special to us. She is, indeed, an Icon Living. And Aunjanue Ellis is an undeniable gem to our culture as well. So proud of both of these women.

Aunjanue Ellis is now one of my favorite African American female actors💯 She deserves her flowers.💐 She should be in the same category as Regina King because she is a good actress.🔥 I've seen her in t.v. roles, and in film, and she always execute her roles. She SLAYS💯🔥🔥🔥 SO, here are your flowers Ms. Ellis💐💐💐🌷🌺🌼🌹🌻🌸 Both Regina King, and Aunjanue Ellis are true, beautiful black queens👑💯🔥❤👍🏽

As an actor, it's refreshing to hear them say they don't follow a traditional method and don't really know what each method entails, yet they're so amazing at what they do. I feel like I'm not alone now. Haha

This wasn’t long enough

Wait !! Did Regina say she wish she could be there to hug Aunjanue basically " real time" showing love & Aunjanue's reply was I like your jacket and your trees !! 😶😔😹😂😹😂 I can't stop laughing !!

This was an excellent conversation. I found myself smiling and laughing listening to them. Thanks so much for this.

Moments like this are so necessary and I love both women. I couldn't imagine film without either of them!!

It's the love that they show for each other for me. The fact that these ladies have worked together twice is amazing. They bodied each and every role they touch. Regina king is an icon in her own right. As for Aunjanue Ellis: she's literally a powerhouse herself. The 22:14 mark was such a touching moment.

*I'm talking about singing not hog calling."*

Wishing all the love and strenght to Regina King and her family in this difficult time. Aunjanue was incredible in When they see Us and Lovecraft Country, she totally killed in those two projects (haven't seen King Richard yet).

Love how Regina sparkles even more while speaking about films ❤️

This was too damn good! Two of my favorite actresses

I loved this so much. I loved watching these two queens give each other their flowers. Representation, and seeing them play such a wide range of characters over the years, is so important.

So needed and so necessary!!! Loved every second of this interview! ❤❤❤❤❤

Regina in Jerry Maguire was a Force of Nature! That was when I knew she was a solid Strong, Deep, and Vastly Talented Actress!!! It still hold up today! Praying for her with the loss of her son 🙏🏾 Aujanue is Amazing always but in King Richard, YAAAS!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This was a beautiful conversation ❤❤

This was so beautiful! LOVE these interviews!!!! Please keep them coming, with diverse and warm acting souls. Thanks Variety x Amazon Studios!

This is so refreshing to hear very seasoned and down right great actors discuss not really having a particular method other than doing the work. It’s not to take away from those who do, but clearly it’s not alway necessarily to do great work. It’s about being present and showing up.

Gorgeous hair...my natural gorgeous sistas 😌

I have to be honest I'm not that familiar with Regina King's work but she seems like a great person. I am so sorry for her loss. Its unthinkable.

I have enjoyed their works endlessly...man I love them both. Thank you for your performances in "Of Mind & Music" and "Ray", "Southland". Great interview ladies! It was a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing a window into your acting worlds.

Two Queens that have given us some amazing performances. Glad they are receiving their flowers. And my heart and prayers go out to Regina and her family 🙏🏾💛💛

Regina King is amazing and a badass. Can't fathom what she's been through lately.

Why put this out without an “in memoriam” at the end or beginning?

My condolences goes out to you Ms Regina King sorry for your loss. I too have children 2 sons in fact and I can only imagine the loss and pain that you are feeling. Nothing anyone can say will be able to make the pain heartache any less. May Allah's Peace and Blessings be with you during your loss and suffering

God bless you, Regina.

These two fantastic actresses are off the chain! Just genius

We’re so proud of you Soror Aunjanue Ellis

Two of my favorite women ever ❤️

I now put Aunjanue ellis with the greats , Regina King , Viola Davis , Angela Bassett, cicely Tyson etc

These two beautiful black 👸🏿👸🏿 acting chops are = impeccable to their craft.

What a beautiful, enlightening & inspiring conversation between two iconic women! Yes Aunjanue, we see you as an icon also. Love and respect and prayers to both to continue on. My sympathy to Regina. As a mother, my heart breaks, so I pray for her strength to go on.

Regina your soul is so peaceful, I'm so Proud of you and happy to see you and your are shinning bright and beautiful.🌹👸🏿🎉 I'm so Proud of you when played the role in Get up. You'll both are very deep of understanding each other knowledge, that's powerful just alone. It a Honor just watching the amazing video beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🎉🎉🎉🎉👸🏿👸🏿

These two women are FORCES OF NATURE!!!! Black excellence personified!!

The two groundbreaking shows you all did on HBO were symbiotic too.

What a paring! Two of my favorite working actresses.

I don’t know how I missed this. 2 of my FAVS. 👑👑

First time I saw Ms. Ellis was on a episode of New York Undercover with Terrance Howard. I knew then she will have a great career. She was so good on that episode

my condolences to regina.

She was awesome in Lovecraft Country. JUST AWESOME!

These ladies are such phenomenal actors I truly love their bodies of work ♥️

What a treat! I've been following Aunjanue since her indie indie indie days. She;s such a power house, it was great to see who she studied and admire. I'm praying for Regina and her lost.

Prayers continue for Regina and her family. LOVE this! Both women have pathed the way for others in the industry while underrated for so long as they continued to deliver amazing performances! Regina's time has finally come, Aunjanue is next. #ActorExcellence

Amazing conversations between these two Queens💗 uplifting you in prayer Regina🙏🏽✨🌺

The love and respect is inspiring. Love to see these two women powerhouses converse

Regina was great in The Harder they Fall. I loved the accent. Even though she had an accent, it was clear.

Love how this end at 33:33. Love and light to both of these ladies 🦋

Aunjanue Ellis is an icon as well whether she knows it or not. I haven't seen her give a bad performance yet, even if she's on the screen for a short time. I see people giving her, her flowers all the time on Twitter. I really hope that she has a chance to see it!

Truly enjoyed the conversation.

I love this talk between two talented Queens 👸🏽 👏🏾. May God continue to bless them. May God be with Ms. King at this time of loss 🙏🏾

The laying on of hands that happened during this talk and this talk happened right before Regina King lost her son. Also how Regina makes the distinction as being a Black American!!!!

Two Phenomenal Women these two are unprecedented Actors 👑👑🌠❤🖤❤🖤⭐

I always find it funny that actors/stars will say they don't have a technique. I wonder if they simply do not realize that they actually do have a technique that works for them but that it is so in their bones and natural that it doesn't feel like they are using a "technique." Of course they have one, they have all been influenced by their experiences and those they have worked with so yeah you picked up some things that you may not even realize or know the name for. Aunjanue went to school for theatre, she has a technique. Technique really refers to tools that and actor uses. Regina worked with the incredible Marla Gibbs who ran a school in LA for black actors, so Regina picked up something you can trust that and she has been working since she was a kid, so its natural to her she makes it look easy as does Aunjanue, we all aren't as gifted as they are in that regard.

I appreciated everything about this conversation. God bless you both. Thank you!

Love Regina but Aunjanue is my homegirl so all in for everything she does.

I love both of these actresses. I have watched Regina grow into this wonderful celebrity of her craft. I also wondered who I could write or contact regarding Anjanue Ellis. She is a tower in her field. She has made her bones. From Ray, The Slave Recorder, Undercover Brother, The Downlow, and so on, she has shown her talent and range. I have often wondered, why Hollywood is sleeping on her? I thought her role in King Richard is superb. Her Image award was well overdo. SAG and other artesian of this wonderful industry wake up. Anjanue is at the top of her game. The Oscar goes to Ms. Ellis

Poor timing... I think you should've waited to upload this given Regina's current situation, out of respect.

They pinned them against each other in films because it's the best against the best. Bam. Both amazing actresses!!!

I follow Regina King's career for a while. I am so sorry for her terrible loss!

Mary Ann and Margie 😍😍😍😍

Awwwww what a beautiful conversation....funny how they both have now played Will's wife....now we need them in a project where they're not on opposite sides.

I love these 2 legends! What a graceful and encouraging discussion between 2 beautiful black women!!! Sending healing, love, and peace to Regina!!🙌🙌👑👑🙏🏾🙏🏾💖💖🌹🌹

Beautiful Black women

Two of my favorite actors, sending prayers to you Regina 🙏🏾✨❣️

Wow. Wow. Wow. I had no clue they did an Actors on Actors together. This is a dream come true. [gets on soap box] Aunjanue Ellis should’ve been nominated for her role as Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. She was excellent! I love that she’s finally getting her flowers after more than 2 decades of stellar work.

Fantastic! Love these two women, for real. Y’all are the truth, so genuine, so very kind, & so very loving to one another. I’m sure you’re the same in everyday life.💙

This is such a beautiful conversation by two immaculately beautiful talented women 🥰

Oh my goodness two of my favs !!! These beautiful ladies can ACT !!!

Who is the Artist of the Painting behind Aunjanue Ellis? I LOVELOVELOVE IT!!!

This duo!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Very necessary. Kudos ladies.

"I'm moving the way the Universe is speaking to me" ~ Regina King. WOW. phenomenal

Love Love Love Both of these Beautiful, Talented, Black Women That are Actors. They both have been in the business for some time and have played characters that had meaning with a message. A Sincere Thank You to both
