One of the great actors of our generation. It’s wonderful to see him begin to get the global critical recognition he deserves.

I think his loneliness on this film helped him with the filming of all of us strangers which he started two weeks after finishing Ripley. I love that this classy interviewer asks Andrew the right questions about his art rather than inane questions about his sexuality and some of the nonsense he gets asked on press tours. I'm so glad to see him speak so deeply about his art. And so much admiration about him getting through the grief of losing his beloved mother just a few weeks ago. A great interview!

Anthony Mason's interviews are always a joy. And Andrew is just so honest and a joy to watch.

"Not pretending to be someone else, but finding that person within you."
Beautiful.

The most loveable humble actor we have, this mans talent is off the scale, it was such a shame all of strangers wasnt nominated for an oscar, it was the best film i have seen in a long time, and as a fellow irish person i pray a wee bit that everything andrew does is very successful, he is a beautiful wee soul ❤❤❤

So enjoyed this interview, interviewer was relaxed and thoughtful and Andrew was allowed to think before he responded. Initially thought he was tired but then when he said his mother had recently died, I recognised the tiredness which comes with grief.

[philomenaoconnor]

Great interview, more like a genuine chat. Andrew is so easy to listen to!

[MamieLouiseAnderson]

These interviews with the actor are such a relief because the character, Tom Ripley, is chilling. Thought I’d binge watch. I can’t. One painfully exquisite episode at a time is all I can endure.
Masterful performance!
