Just an exceptional interview with such a superb, versatile actor.

[Andy-iy]

Harvey, another great guest and conversation. One of my favorite Frasier episodes was when he plays the butler.
You are getting such great guests! 👏👏👏

[Lasuvidaboy-jpxe]

Another great interview, Harvey. Mr Garber is delightful.

[Sunnyone]

Victor you are amazing! Thank you Harvey for interviewing Mr. Garber❤🎉😊

[BDavis]

I loved this interview, Harvey! And I'm a Family Law paralegal so I sort of can relate to your comments about you being a judge and lawyer. Very cool. I've been a fan of Victor's since he played one of my heroes, Thomas Andrews. And I screamed when I heard him say that he and Rainer are going to Ireland for Christmas! They HAVE to visit Belfast! This was such a great interview. I've seen him on stage and I've gotten to meet him a few times and he's the best. He's had such an amazing career. Thank you for giving him the credit he deserves. Also, Alias was the best.

Such a humble gentleman, Victor is, I nticed that right away.
I thought I had seen most of his work, not even close after you named a lot of it....I was blown away.
I would definitely would have like to see him perform & sing on stage.
I sat many, many hours through Cinderella with my Daughter...he was wonderful!!
Brava 👏👏👏👏👏 to both of you, what a fantastic interview!!!
Thank you 🤗

[queerbaitedbyteenwolf]

What an amazing actor, what a wonderful interview!

[danliebman]

Victor Garber's great smile at the end said it all!

[melissaphillips]

Victor is just a treasure! Lovely man and a wonderful actor❤

[willnoiles]

A true Canadian treasure. I remember when he did ‘Titanic, ’ thinking, “A great director, who was born and raised here, and a great Canadian actor. And then getting to play Canadian Ken Taylor in ‘Argo.’ More importantly, he’s done it as a gay man, even if he wasn’t always advertising the fact. He just always been a dependable, humble guy—the very definition of Canadian! Another great interview, Harvey! Much like Victor, you’re dependable, humble and honest!

[rjnuzzi]

Saw him in Sweeney on Broadway.... great singer. Loved him as Sid Luft too. Saw Godspell 50 times when it was in movie theaters in the early 70's

[famasmaster]

Oh wow Harvey, this was just AWESOME and heart felt. You just have the gift of bringing the best out of all your guests and Victor was no exception. I have never been more proud to be from Ontario!
You both looked and sounded perfect and both looked like a million bucks together 😊
One he** of an interview Harvey, you’ve really got the touch my friend 🎉
Yet again, Kudos
This was so enjoyable

[michaelafamfulikova]

Mr Garber is genuinely great. He looked very emotional at times, especially at the beginning and when Harvey summarized his illustrious career. I wonder what he is gonna sing at the Godspell documentary... Please let it be Save The People ! I loved that he said he was more used to giving than accepting. A sign of humbleness..

[rickmauro]

From Luft to Liberace, loved this interview! Well done.

[bluecollarlit]

I saw Victor Garber in the film, "Milk."

I thought he was great, and very handsome.

This conversation is so nice and informative.

[Debbie]

Harvey you ask the best questions. I love that Victor talks about London On. The O’keefe centre, Godspell, folk groups . I loved Godspell and had it on repeat during my teenage years. You can take the boy out of Canada but you can’t take Canada out of the boy😊
