THANK YOU FOR PUTTING G'RAHA TIA ON THE DICE SOBS I've been waiting for him to talk about FFXIV...
Did you hear how he drew out adoring? How much you wanna bet he wanted to say adorable?
G'raha Tia is the best!! 😍
@@Evethedragon YES. Alll my money fr- (BC HE IS ADORABLE FR-)
The way he has G'raha Tia's quotes on hand is so heartwarming.... i love how aware he is of how much ppl love G'raha and that he loves playing him
YEAH IKRR-FDGSFGDFG
G'RAHA TIA! AT YOUR SERVICE! Thank you Jonathan for voicing him! I have his last words as the Crystal Exarch on my forearm to remind me that "Hope is Everlasting"
That's wonderful :)
A more genius, kind, thoughtful, talented, hilarious, articulate human being fails to walk the planet with Jonathan Bailey on it. He is otherworldly, an enigma.
His role as Graha Tia was AMAZING
Thank you for putting G'raha's adorable face on the face! We're always wondering what his thoughts are on the character! It makes me so happy to hear him call G'raha little catboy and that he adores him!
Oh my lord... I did not expect G'raha Tia to be talking to me for 13 minutes. I have never paid so much attention to an interview in my life. I could listen to this man speak all day. Someone please pay him to read an encyclopedia please and thank you. 🤩 He seems to be such a genuinely lovely person who has a passion for his art.
His charm is otherworldly.
Can't believe he finally talked about G'raha 💀
"We'll travel the lands, cross the seas, and take to the skies upon the eternal wind- and it will be marvelous! It will..." that quote has been so meaningfull for me. Thanks!!
Thank You for putting G'raha on there! I have been waiting and wondering and curious about if he would be back and how he felt about my favorite catboy/scion. This is wonderful news. And I am so happy his career has taken off. Love his acting so much.
I’m so happy that we live in a world where there is a Jonathan Bailey 🥹
Absolutely
I'm glad we get to hear his thoughts on voicing G'raha Tia. He's probably my favourite Scion ;_;
Your delivery of lines as G'raha Tia ..in Shadowbringers especially was a masterpiece. Bravo 👏
Thanks for including G’raha Tia in this video! I hope Jonathan knows how much we love his character. He’s the sweetest! Also I can’t wait to see him as Fiyero. Sending all my love and admiration from Mexico City!
He is the perfect voice for G'raha!!! I am so happy he's stayed with the role 😭😭😭
“Me and Tony will be together for a while.” 🥹 yes
He played as Tim[skippy] so well. He was brilliant ❤
While I'm not a G'raha simp, I'm sooo happy that he was included on the dice
I am mind blown. I had no idea he voiced G’raha. MIND BLOWN.
I absolutely adored Crashing!!! So glad it's one of his favourites, what an amazing career so far, can't wait to see what he does next! I had the privilege to see him onstage in Cock and he was incredible!
YES!!! someone bringing up crashing made my day i was looking for this comment.
He’s a gem, he’s full of life and love. I love him 😭
i'm so thankful for fellow travelers for introducing me to this brilliant human being / actor, i've watched Bridgerton and Crashing and I can't wait to see wicked too
You're a treasure, Johnny. First discovered you through G'raha, who I already loved as a character before he had a voice. You made him come alive. I've been a fan of your work ever since. Keep slaying
It's a music for my ears to listen to him talk about something he loves and feels passionate about. Thank you for this interview, I can watch it for hours.
what a great career so far, and there’s more wonderful things to come 🙌🏼
G’raha will always be my favorite character of his, thank you for sticking with us even as you grow as an actor into bigger roles💕 the FFXIV players appreciate you!
He really is so lovely, humble, and so intelligent! I love listening to him recognizing his growth through the pieces he has been in. He has done a remarkable, vulnerable thing with Fellow Travelers which will be a liberating series for many for generations. I am glad he was given that part both for himself and for us. Love everything he is in, but he will always be mostly Tim for me. Such brilliant work.
Just randomly found this video, I don't know what most other things are here, but I certainly know G'raha Tia! I really loved the delivery on that character, it fits so well in the world.
OMG, JONATHAN BAILEY ❤
I love him so much. He is the best kind of person in every way. And insanely talented! Can’t wait to see where his career takes him. ❤
Oh I want to wrap him in bubble wrap 😅 precious golden retriever boy
I watched fellow travelers, bridgerton, crashing, all different characters, Jonny acted very well
fellow travelers is one of the best shows i’ve ever watched. absolutely heartbreaking and incredibly important
FINALLY SOME TALKING ABOUT CRASHING I COULDN'T REALLY FIND ANY INTERVIEWS!! I absolutely loved the series, the scenes are really authentic and funny. At first I didn't really recognize Jonathan (but I knew him because of bridgerton) and realizing it's him made the series even better. After fellow travelers I'm more than amazed by jonathan, he's a great actor.
Love this! It was great hearing him talk about those early Broadchurch days. It's unreal how he was something like 24/25 then.
Crashing was so fun😂❤ We support wild Jonny ❤
An amazing actor 💗
God I love Crashing. I really wish there could be a continuation. It's one where you really want to know where they all are now.
wow he is so wonderful 🥰 I've loved a lot of his work but never heard him talk before. the way he spoke about the importance of stories here makes my heart so full, what a lovely person
Fun Fact: Colin Ryan (voice of Alphinaud) was also in Leonardo with Johnny! That's him to the left in the screenshot!
Yep! Spotted Colin as well. 😂 That show is the reason I know the both of them and it made the dub in FFXIV feel a bit nostalgic ngl
It's so great to have an actor so brilliant and passionate nowadays. Every one of his characters are really memorable.
Jonathan Bailey/G’raha Tia is the BESTEST BOY!!!
he is sooo proud of fellow travelers (as he should) i love him
Jonathan’s voice is so soothing. I’ve actually fallen asleep while listening to him speak in an interview. Please keep this content coming. He should start a KZhead channel and talk about anything. Even if it’s reading a newspaper article a day I would absolutely listen to it 💯 3:35 Genius 💡 12:31 Awww how sweet! I think it’s somewhat already happening in Bridgerton because Anthony is the only father figure that Gregory and Hyacinth know and those scenes are so precious 🥹
His Fiyero will end me and i cant wait 😭
His voice is so good i could listen to him talking for hours🫠🫠And he is such a handsome lovely kind attractive talented actor❤
He is gorgeous!! ❤❤
Totally loved this, so intriguing to hear his amazing voice and his take on his experiences with each character. He is fantastic in all his roles, such a joy to watch!!
Wow, I don't know if anyone else caught this, but when he's talking about the TV series Leonardo, they show a still of him in a scene from the show and the in the background is Colin Ryan who voices Alphinaud.
"me and Tony will be together for awhile" Oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
CRASHING SEASON 2 manifesting !!!
So far the best character Jonny has played is Tim (Skippy). 'Fellow Travelers' .
I agree.
Jonathan was particularly memorable on Doctor Who, as cyborg Psi in the episode _Time Heist_ which also featured the shapeshifter Sabra, two delightful characters, who felt so well-realized as one-off companions with surprisingly deep bonds with Peter Capaldi's Doctor and Clara, that I hope they can be brought back into the DW universe in some form or other someday! Also it kills me that Crashing has no S2! That whole gang had such fantastic chemistry as friends. Sam is such a bisexual disaster and his relationship with Fred is a rollercoaster in the best way.
jonathan bailey is a dream and im in love with him (i’m a straight girl who has no shot)
He deserves his success! It so inspiring to see someone talk so passionately of their work and what it has meant for him.
05:14 for G'raha 😊 (warning: SHB SPOILER)
Woah-getting right to it for FFXIV-G'raha fans 😭😭 Ty fr🙏🏿
Thank you for continuing to be the voice of our beloved cat boy ❤
he's a good egg isn't he!!
Hes so baby
he is so precious i adore him
What a beautiful man 😍🥺
I’m glad Crashing is here.
G’RAHA TIA 💜
My first experience with Johnny Bailey was actually in a series I discovered via Robert Sheehan, titled "Me and Mrs. Jones". His character is so amusingly chaotic. Then I reached Shadowbringers in FFXIV a year or so later and was like "damn why does this voice sound so familiar????" only discover it was him again! (There's a copy of Me and Mrs. Jones somewhere here on youtube if anyone fancies a watch, it's only a brief 6 ep series.)
He is so, so lovely.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ❤🥲
Looking forward to him being a doting dad on Bridgerton in S3 now.
Still wondering how the whole Bridgerton family dynamic will be with a vicountess now. Kate is great at managing things (esp. managing Anthony), but Violet is still everyone's mom and although Anthony might have managed a lot of the paperwork etc., she always seemed to be the true head of the house to me, looking out for the others in many other regards. As much as she would deserve a break, I can't picture her perfectly satisfied with retirement and zero responsibility. :D
@@Sketchblopp violet can relax and enjoy the grandkids and work on matching up the rest of the brood. Maybe make a footman slightly awkward.
I love so many final fantasy fans are here and love to have you in the journey
Hold on hold on “sometimes I wonder what they would be up to now…” WAS THAT A HINT??
Skippy😢❤❤
Graha has always stood out to me for being written so well, but I also took note of how stunning the voice acting was. Very easy character to make off putting but he brought so much authenticity to the role!
Praying for a crashing season 2
Thank you for including Graha Tia!!!
I just found out he is the voice of G'raha Tia and I am so in love with his voice and acting. Particularly that that he just has a G'raha Tia quote on hand. 😍❤️
Crashing was sooo good
Thank You for bringing G'raha Tia to life in your own way. You are G'raha and I love it.
This is first time I’ve heard Jonny talk extensively about G’raha! That warmed my heart🤍🥲
He was hilarious in CRASHING.
I watched fellow travelers and then crashing and Bridgerton .
Then play FFXIV!
I LOVE JONATHAN BAILEY
Amo você , ator e homem maravilhosos!!❤❤❤❤❤💘👏👏👏
Crashing was such a good series !! Sam's character was my favorite ! Love when he talks about the role 😍
Did he... DID HE JUST HINT ON A RENEWAL OF CRASHING
His honesty 💛💛💛
"I had some nights out where I felt incredibely twinkly." lmao 😂
Not him taking about supporting his siblings on Bridgerton 😭 I love this man so much
12:26-12:40 He almost spilled some major beans and I wish he had!!!
Not me seeing the rumoured photo of Kate Sharma with a baby bump JUST today. This kinda just confirmed it Hehehhe
Just because "G'raha'Tia" was present is enough for me to click on the video.
He's like sunshine
HE ACKNOWLEDGED G'RAHA
So glad that he's enthusiastic about Crashing! That program was awesome! Can't wait to see next season of Bridgerton❤ Gamers unite!
I'm so happy 😭😭😭😭
We love you Jonathan
fellow travellers is one of the most beautiful body’s of work i’ve seen. full stop.
Just checking in on any Graha Tia shippers, how you doing? 😂 Weird hearing him acknowledge the catboy isn't it?
I hope one day Bethan Walker, Colin Ryan and Peter Bramhill manage to rope him into this fandom as wall and drag him with them to conventions and interviews. (Didn't hear anything of the sort, but one can hope...?)
One of my fav (brief but spectacular) roles JB was in was Michaela Coel's Chewing Gum! 👏
Fellow travelers was such a precious serie and he was phenomenal as skippy 😅
I've been a fan of Jonathan's since Bridgerton and I love G'raha and Christal Exarch in FF14 so much, I was surprised to find out in this interview that he is the voice of G'raha. My favorite actor voiced my favorite character??????
CRASHING IS THE BEST!
