[PersonaNGrata]

One of the most underrated actors of our generation.

[chloedrysdale]

Whenever I see Spader I wonder where Dembe is 😂

[WithePaladin]

I love to see Reymond playing James Spader

[fahdh]

The guy is either always acting OR he is never acting. I’m confused.

[shreyajahagirdar]

I could listen to James Spader talk for hours

[gaurishkelapure]

I think the stories he tells on the blacklist are his own

[MikeysPsyche]

James Spader is just brilliant. His acting, his story telling, his personality. Just fantastic.

[DonHorvathIII]

"returning from a trip overseas" We all know that means meeting with an arms dealer in Senegal, Reddington

[celeusis]

Am I the only one who can spend hours watching James Spader talk?! I love the sound of his voice!

[Draagreon]

This man has class, is intelligent and really experienced, and you ask him if he likes TV?

[ΗλίαςΜαλιάγκας]

I just love his voice. This man has a rare talent in our days. When he speaks he means every word he says and you simple can not take your attention out from him. Amazing actor and he deserves every award as Red Reddington .

[deborahfens]

The way he talk it looks like he doesn’t act in blacklist

[skyec]

He is such a wise man. Every story he tells is so fascinating to me.

[chadiwack]

James Spader seems like one of the most genuine people you'd ever want to meet. I hope to meet him one day.

[shitalgholap]

Whenever he starts speaking I can't resist but love him . He has this unique way of talking which makes whatever he is saying really interesting and engaging. ❤️❤️ His stories are always great.

[Skyewalker]

I absolutely adore James Spader. Such an incredibly talented man, I've loved him for as long as I can remember.

[Stavros]

This interview just proves Raymond Reddington was based on James Spader. Their intellect and demeanor are identical. You know he left the interview with dembe in the Mercedes and immediately got a call from Elizabeth or Aram about something that needed his attention. 😂😂😂 can’t wait for the new season.

[chazfatur]

I remember working The Practice with James... he thought I was a PA, asked me for lunch & yes it was around 1-2pm, his Prime Time, and I was an Actor on the show. But I got his lunch anyway, because he's so amazing and he asked me to. I didn't say anything till we got to set, he saw me not as a PA and felt embarrassed by it all. I said don't sweat it, you had to eat, it was my pleasure! Amazing Human Being!

[johnwisniewski]

About 2 years ago James was on the show and he told this awesome story about getting high with JFK jr while Jackie O cooked dinner. It was one of the greatest stories ever.

Safe to say James Spader wasn't really acting when he was playing Robert California.
