His English is excellent. It’s crazy that he didn’t want to take the No Country role because he was afraid he couldn’t speak English. The dude is a true star. A great addition to the Dune cast as well.
-
over 10 years and his performance in No Country is still one of the all-time greatest villain performances
-
If you listen to the interview carefully, he spends more time praising and complimenting the people around him, than he talks about himself. That is the sign of an amazing person
-
So classy how he really complimented the actor who played opposite him in the gas station scene in Old Country. A brilliant run through of his career - seems like a genuinely warm guy, passionate about the art 👏🏿
-
the fact that he remembers the stories with the names of the people involved, he is aware of the passing of a hairdresser. More than an amazing actor an amazing human being.
-
He was a menace in No Country for Old Men absolutely terrifying
-
What a talent. And all the directors he has worked with: Pedro Almodóvar, Alejandro Amenábar, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Sam Mendes, The Cohens, Darren Aronofsky, Denis Villeneuve. Pretty amazing.
-
The fact he focuses so much on the supporting actor in “that” No Country scene, goes to show how incredible a man he is. Acting royalty without question.
-
He's absolutely incredible. I wish they would've included "Mother" and "Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona."
-
“That character is violence.” And that’s why he won the Oscar. He wasn’t portraying a man. He was personifying the most terrible aspect of human nature and his portrayal was terrifying.
-
Skyfall is my second favorite Bond movie of all time. His portrayal of Silva and that story about the rats at the beginning is a big part of why I love it so much
-
Just love how he doesn't talk about himself or his character in the gas station scene but rather about the character who portrays the owner of the gas station and his clear vulnerability and fear.
-
Shout out to Javier for highlighting something important, intimidation scenes need great actors on both sides, that scene really wouldn't be complete without the actor playing the gas station attendent being as nervious and scared as he is
.
In the same way that the actor playing Lapatite's fall into despair in Inglorious Basterds are also an important part to that openning scene. -
No Country for Old Men is Javier’s ‘Stairway to Heaven’. Its the one he hears the most about but he has such an amazing catalog of characters and performances that all need attention. I hope he keeps working for a long time.
-
An incredible actor, one of my favorites. I’m glad he acknowledged the actor who plays the gas station attendant in No Country for Old Men. He was really good in that scene.
-
I still remember the silence in the movie theater during the "gas station scene" of No Country For Old Men. One of the most tense moments in the last couple decades of cinema, it was so simple yet an absolutely terrifying way to introduce the villain.
-
Amazing charisma. He's kind of like Alan Rickman in how they're both magnets for attention in any scene they're in. Well, I guess I can add Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe, too. They all have an uncharacteristic beauty.
-
Lifelong Horror geek here and “Anton Chigur” is still HANDS DOWN the creepiest and most terrifying villain that has ever haunted the screen!
Javier is an insanely talented and skilled actor no matter the role. -
I love that he gave credit to the actor playing the gas station attendant. After all acting is not just speaking, it’s interacting and listening. It takes two, for lack of a better phrase.
