Triple 9 Actors Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anthony Mackie talk British vs. American Actors 

+eon001 u caught me slipping. Next time.

BlackTree TV No worries man, I expect you were probably being timed, or maybe the Marvel questions were off limits :)

Clarence and Sam

Yeah! Where's the Marvel Love?

Because they're classically trained in London, not fast tracked through Hollywood like many American stars.

Rodney Davis Mackie,is wrong. There are many American actors who work in London.

All black men are fine with sex appeal and sweet tasting ass holes

Steven Johnson actually, there aren't many American actors in the UK. America is where all the production is at. All the star power and such. American movies go globally. British actors go to America to work for a living, but very rarely will you see a brit take over an american role because theyre too demanding. For example, Emma Watson was cast for the lead female role in La la land but she made crazy demands, so they told her to go fuck herself and hired emma stone instead.

lets go out

Ahiru77 jump in feet first, everyone showed up ready to work.

No. Just get along well.

Yes they do look like brothers!!

Yes

Kyla Mullens sorry for that. Apologize for sound.

Yep, but they're usually the ones who have already 'made it' and they come to extend themselves (Spacey), or hone their craft. Whereas, a lot of British actors go to America to 'make it'.

@@graceygrumble I think most British actors go to Hollywood have already "made it". Just because Americans haven't heard of them doesn't mean they haven't made it. In many cases they would be on TV in the UK or they would have been on stage. I don't THINK many British actors just go to Hollywood with an empty CV.

i hear you. but hear me out. in the 80's-90's, our public schools put on a lot of plays, since then budget cuts hit the arts and music programs first. So we lost a lot of kids first entry into discovering formal acting techniques, in the UK the arts are still very important and I believe that is why you get a lot of trained actors from there, doesn't mean that none of our actors are trained or talented, just feel like there is something there. something to the fact that british actors with depth are a dime a dozen
