One of the most versatile actors, John Malkovich, talks about how he draws from his tough upbringing for parts he plays and other very interesting insights into him and his acting.
I don't know how I never saw David Brenner's talk show, but he is terrific. Relaxed, gregarious, doesn't interrupt while pushing the conversation along, keeps things light and fun but slips in a question that elicits an interesting and sincere answer (e.g., Malkovich directing his wife), and throws in the requisite upcoming movie plug. I just read the history of the show and it aired for less than a year. That doesn't surprise me a bit, really.
So unique, intense and versatile actor! Loved his role in In the line of Fire with Eastwood and he by far is one of my favorite actors of all time and he is so blessed with that voice of his to boot!
Great interview. John's such a fine artist and decent man. David too. I really enjoy David's questions and conversation. I wish he'd have continued in this format, he's great in this. I'll be doing True West this fall, playing Austin in SF. That play is a beast. But it's nice to be part of the legacy since Sam debuted it at Magic Theater in SF so long ago.
I've always thought John Malkovich is a hawty!!! I loved him in Making Mr. Right, Con Air & Red & Red 2 & Burn After Reading!!! He's a damn sexy fool indeed!!!
As what Glenn Close mentioned in one of her interviews, that she wants to have a love affair with him. I can really understand why. The man is mysterious, sexy and mesmerizing.
John Malkovich: " Get on the bus kids, we need to get going." School Kids: " where are we going bus driver?" John Malkovich slowly turns around and looks at children and says "We are going mad."
poor Glenna, she died so young. Im sure it mustve hurt him even rho they were divorced; it seems like they "came up" together in the business. It seems he had an affair w Michelle Pfeiffer during DangerousL so maybe that's what caused the split. regardless, condolences to him if he ever reads this. so shocking and sad!
You know how sometimes you see a celebrity/famous actor and you think "this guy seems like he'd be awesome to hang out with!". No this one. John seems like someone that would be impossible to chill with.
