Marlon is the man who came back down from the mountain heights of fame to tell us that there is nothing there.
I’m a quarter into comments after watching this and I’m so thrilled to see people like yourself perfectly summarize what is whirling through my head. You nailed it. Thank you
I've always loved movie stars that loathe being a movie star. It's like an oxymoron that's a bit comical and charming.
He *now* doesn't think that there is nothing behind the *real* mountain.
Barry Gibb referred to what is phony in Public Performance as The Illusion
100% right on
The dog bit always killed me. "He is the greatest actor ever. He pretends he loves me when he wants something to eat"
U know everyone on a personal level.
Yeah, the way he phrases "get out of here" to the dog is priceless!!
Everyone who has a Dog or a Cat can relate.
He once wrote to a studio that he couldn't do a movie because his doctor told him to stay in bed. It was signed "Dr. Tim" His dog is named Tim.
''Everybody is an actor... people don't usually say what they want'' - Marlon Brando
That's why the French Monarchy introduced universal Manners to teach the plebs not to act naturally in public. Tbf they had a point you have to act a bit to keep society going.
Ooh , most people do say what they think about me , especially behind my back..! It’s happened to me many times .., same people smiling, being all so sweet and kind to my face, behind my back it’s another story. It’s very cunning but it’s human nature..! Also, we do speak our minds most of the time., in general we can say whatever we want but we choose not to in certain circumstances, because we are taught to behave with restraint, self- awareness and discipline in difficult situations..! And even if we want to curse our employer or another jerk at our job we are all too aware that if we do, we will have to quit our job right after doing so., or we will get terminated for speaking our mind . And we can behave recklessly and say anything that we want so we can be authentic but we have to accept the consequences also. Authenticity doesn’t mean we blur out first thing that comes to mind, authenticity means that we are being genuine with ourselves, and true to our own values and ethics. I do believe most people say what they want even though many say it behind your back., but in general people speak their minds especially to lovers, friends and acquaintances., only time people refrain from saying what they want is when they’re employed by someone and their livelihood depends on them being able to conduct themselves in a professional manner and refrain from cursing and telling the jerk to take a hike. And actually many people do say what they want even to people who hold power above them., especially when they reach a point where they don’t care and are tired of mistreatment.
People are strange.That's all of us.
Shut the hell up beach@@BlueskyDenver
he hated the fakeness, the superficiality of the film industry. much respect.
And of Connie Chung. And her vapid stupidity on full display here.
Most Definitely. So many Directors have said it's better being behind the camera rather than in front of the camera. I think you can look at every situation as being a positive as well as a negative. Everything has 2 sides.
That's pretty ironic given the guy was a narcissist. Can't get much more fake then that.
@Harold Paulle A person who is a narcissist is fake. There is nothing real about them. They're a construct which is why you find so many in the acting profession because they've spent their whole lives acting. I hope that helps to explain . Also narcissists are 6.2% of the population so there's no shortage of them .
@Harold Paulle Most trolls are narcissists or sociopaths.
I don't know what's more impressive - his acting on the screen or complete lack of it off the screen
This is a great and underrated comment!
He's not acting on screen either
@@mukiwabanda2794 what is he doing on screen then?
@@Ashish-xm9ol The same as the one and only Bruce lee did--he expressed himself-------as did all of the other greats Eastwood, Mcqueen, bronson etc, we all know they were the real deal --well dont we???
Brando is authentically himself and thoroughly disgusted with "American ""culture"" and the whole film industry. *he is also a tormented soul who sees life as a mystery and a dilemma. in his soul, he is a staunch humanist that is outraged by the atrocities of Man and Nature.*
Marlon Brando was clearly a philosopher. Not just in his heart, in his actions and interviews. People have called him crazy. I think he is a sage.
People who have a beautiful mind are frequently called crazy or delusional.
@John Rayne Back then he was called crazy because he was ahead of his time, just look at what's happening now he's absolutely right about everything.
A bit hyperbolic I think. Certainly he is no Plato, Schopenhauer or Kant. Try to keep it between the white lines.
Agreed! He is just being honest with himself, which is usually what is meant by the expression « being oneself ». He has a pretty sharp view of the human tragedy/comedy and especially the US society. And re. his « mad man » public image built by the press, let’s say that it is an illustration of Krishnamurti’s words: « it isn’t a sign of sanity to be well adjusted to a sick society »...
Agreed❤️
He was a genius, not only in acting. He was the most sensitive and intelligent man. He always talked about profound and important things.
A genius outside of acting? In what, exactly?
@@jamesanthony5681 he was actvist and did a lot charity work ...
@@JonGSalvatore Yes he did.
a genius? what, was he really good at math or something?
@@JonGSalvatore That doesn’t make him a genius, it simply makes him charitable and an activist.
Marlon was his own man, He was not a fake. Also one of the greatest actors who ever lived. There will never be another like him. Miss him.
Agree....but he would be troubled in these "me too" times!
MARLON BRANDO IS THE 🐐 🐐 GOAT. THE GREATEST ACTOR EVER. HE REVENTED THE FILM INDUSTY. OFTEN COPIED. NEVER DUPLICATED
"That's part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, who's good, who's bad, who's best, who's worst. We always think in those terms, and extreme terms. I don't like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in a different way." ---- Brando being insightful here.
That's not America, that is humanity. Most societies are defined in terms of who is the best, who is the smartest, who can amass the most, and use this criteria to judge winners and losers. Contests and competitions are concepts known the world over, even in isolated and primitive societies.

I love watching Marlon's interviews. He never fails to confound the interviewers by answering them without using the cliches they are anticipating. Connie is totally thrown off her game in this. I'm surprised it even aired.
I was curious what was cut and what actually aired.
Connie was just so incompetent. This man needed someone much smarter.
I wouldnt be so hard on her. She adapted quickly and got him to laugh a number of times which was revealing. At the end of the day her questions gave him an opportunity to reveal himself in the way he responded. Job done.
@@Fractalite yes, he revealed himself to be too smart for her. But I respect your view even if I don’t agree with it.
Connie Chung always looked Spaced out in interviews. Brando loves to talk about everything except acting. He never got into the pomposity of it all. He saw it as a job and not that interesting to talk about.
The GOAT! I never get tired of him. I wish he could have hung about a bit longer. ❤️ Loved and missed.
An American original. No one these days can replace him..his originality, his passion, his sense of humor and acting genius. He didn't take himself seriously and knows that the simple things in life are only what matter. A lesson for us all.
It was a different time. Back then your could say fuck you and fuck off. Now the left have a monopoly on the entertainment industry. The actors today are slaves.

Do you know when was the last time i spent 40 minutes listening to an actor talking? Never, that`s when.
Marlon Brando was ahead of his time and gifted actor with natural talent. I admire him for his activism for Native Americans. He was a genius, and his legacy will continue to live on through his films.
He's bloody brilliant. Reminds me of someone who's explored the depths of his soul...
.....and discovered there is nothing there.

Brilliant philosophy 👌
Holy &%^$, did anyone think Marlon originated that quote?
@@akrenwinkle isn’t it Malcom X?
@@crowdpleaser54 Yes. Well... on second thought, Eldridge Cleaver. Maybe. Certainly not invented by Marlon, who could have offered attribution to the quote.
I think that saying sucks it sucks the life out of everyone, then bla. bla he goes on about free will and its always good to do exactly what you want.
funny how people call Brando crazy because he isnt following a script or acting like an android. this is what is called being free and being comfortable in your own skin. most of the world should try that sometime
This interview is awesome. I think Marlon Brando is my new hero. Who cares what society thinks? He was more wise than society.
He is no more wiser than society. He simply lets go of the pretension that his position afforded him
I have always loved Marlon.... even more after this candid, smart, inspiring interview.... he looked into our eyes when he spoke and spoke honestly. I love that.
everybody in life is an actor!!! - NAILED IT
@willie billie he wasn't being a dipshit, he hated acting and always wanted to avoid talking about it, that's why he always have this line to interviewers
@willie billie He is just different, let's leave it at that, rather than calling him names.
@MACK D maybe I said it a bit wrong, he didn't really hate acting, but he hated Hollywood and the whole industry, and that's why avoided talking About his movies and acting
Sooo true!
Pure BS Maybe he and his Italian jewish buddies are scammers and actors. But most decent people are just being themselves most of the time.
I feel Brando could have existed in any time and still would have been this big. Such a soul this man was. The world needs to see a resurgence of the caliber of actors, filmmakers and writers as existed in his generation. These that have a timeless quality about them.
NOW more than EVER BEFORE. The wokeness of hollywood infected so many braindead zombiefied people of America, and its become a cesspool of Degeneracy. There was a surgence of Hollywood Quality from 1990s- 2014, the MeToo movement destroyed the strong male characters, and hollywood FEARS to portray a man as a Man. Has confused sex and gender to the point absurdity, and cant CREATE anything new or unique at all anymore. Its degenerated into a COPY and CUT and PASTE fakery of remakes and "reIMagining" or "Policitical Correctness Insanity" and actors based on the color of their skin and NEVER their MERIT anymore. It doesnt matter if they have actual TALENT, it just depends on how many WOKE DEI check boxes they have on their resume. sickening and degenerate.
Absolutely right. I can't stop watching him
Yes. He lived an amazing life, and had amazing performances before the camera. He also had A LOT of existential angst,...particularly on the historic mistreatment of blacks and native Americans.
You gave the perfect adjective for him, timeless.
Thank you for the fantastic interview, Connie!
Those who parodied Marlon and made fun of him calling him crazy weren’t worth the dirt under his feet! He is forever the greatest legend, they are all but forgotten. Marlon Brando was an enigma!
he was beyond all the fame he truly is and was amazing
My thoughts exactly. Marlon Brando was a one of a kind. I so wish I knew him. He's Uber Gorgeous & the Greatest Actor of all time.
pff ok fangirl and all the abuse accusations were just fantasies from jealous people right? Also from his own daughter who said he was abusive and comitted suicide! He got accused of raping indogene people on the islands he was on set! Also he got canceled cause he asked the production teams horrific services and lived on the neverland ranch where surely "nothing happenend.."! The biggest disgustings are seen as the biggest heros.
He is definitely a little crazy... That doesn't take away from other attributes but it is what it is.
He had mental illness...and was an A-HOLE on top of that
This is the only interview I've seen where an actor talked openly about salary.
Acting was a job to Marlon. He found the pomposity and grandeur of acting silly. He would rather talk about anything else.
Worth a $100M at his death......not bad for a guy that was wacked!!!

I was left with nothing but respect for this man. His brutal honesty, heart and wisdom . Great interview👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love him for his honesty and he is a brave, selflessness, and true person
And Connie Chung intervied him!
He certainly wasn't selfless. He would have been the first to admit how selfish he could be.
@@giovanna722 anyone is selfish at some point on their life. Donating your entire salary towards a cause you believe in…I’d be hard pressed to find anyone to do that lol
Marlon Brando is that rare type of personality. Wise, artistically gifted, an real observer of the world around him and not afraid to express his observations clearly. One of my heroes ... a true LEGEND.
Boy he looks much older than 65!
Most Definitely the Best of the Best, they'll never be another Marlon Brando, Most Gorgeous Guy to walk the Earth.
And don’t forget…a real horndog!
@@theanswer7354 do you think so I was just saying he looked good for 65, only 5 years off 70 🫤
@burteriksson your comment is the embodiment of you hear what you wanna hear
“David Letterman doesn’t do that .” “No , but I do at the mention of his name.” LMFAOO fucking legend .
He couldn't contain himself when all she came up with was DL. I laughed hysterically at his reaction...frozen in time, like, what!? he had to do something or otherwise he would have been on the floor in hysterics. Ironically, he was talking about finding laughter in one's life.
im sure he saw the chis Elliot skit😂
Yeah.. there is something deeply profound about that testament.. 😄
He’s absolutely right. Almost anyone is or can be an Actor. While we are living each day; we are all living together as Actors.
Thank you so much for this video! I really needed it.

What an honest person he was. Fabulous actor, but a very intelligent individual. Was not afraid to say what he thought.
Unlike these PC actors these days. 😒
It's as if you have no idea who Brndo was, at all.
I think Marlon would have made a great President.
@@bonanzajoe He wouldn't run, he knows how corrupt the political game is.
He was also a woman beater and terrible father.
An amazing inspirational soul who opened the hearts and eyes of many so much wisdom ..a warrior full of truths ! so much respect ..legend lives on !
I love this interview. Marlon brando will always be remembered for his realistic performances, who inspired countless actors and actresses to achieve as much emotional depth as possible to bring their character to life. He didnt stick to the conventional approach of acting and you can see he didnt stick to the conventions of a typical interview either. Right of way he points out the cameras and production crew. He casts aside the scripted question-response dialogue expected of them and focuses on discribing his true inner thoughts and philosophy, even though his candidness and lengthy rambling catches the interviewer off guard. By the end, Brando manages to turn the interview into a real conversation after all; having Connie answer questions as well, iliciting real reaction to his comments, inciting genuine laughter. He strips away the mystique of his celebrity and shows the world that he's human being who's disillusioned by the celebrity lifestyle and wants to make a genuine impact on the world. In a way, he achieves the same effect that he did as a character in his movies, stripping away the facade and delivers an uninhibited display of character and humanity. Its genius
I love that Brando looked at the camera a lot in this interview. You don't get many interviewees doing that.
So did George from the Beatles on Dick Cavett show.
Broke that “fourth wall” and let us know it was all a put on. What a great actor he was.
Marlon Brando was the most interesting and entertaining character out of all of the ones he ever played.
Awesome comment thanks for sharing.
You really can see in his acting what he meant when he said you can't act unless you are what you are, who you are. Brilliant! His acting is just like his interviews....real!
Love watching his interviews. This man was so interesting to listen and watch! 😍
Reading the comments on this video gives me hope in humanity. For so long I’ve wondered why people only remember one side of Brando & forget everything he did for human rights etc. He didn’t care what people thought about him, he just wanted to help. He was all class, a deep thinker & a true Gentleman 🥰 Rest In Paradise Marlon ❤️ Your real legacy lives on 🙌🏾 x
he was hated from about 1962 until his death...that says a lot about the decline of the west...in the world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
What an absolutely fascinating man Brando was. One of a kind.
I adore the constant breeze that flows through Brando's and Chung's hair.
Connie is so hot 🥵
Excellent!!! Captured the madness of Marlon, and the bravado of Brando!! A larger than life legend!!
"it does not make that much of a difference whether you are fat or thin in life its just that if you are a good person"
She was intimidated by him, she didn't know how to speak to him. Because he was so down to earth and genuine... not a cocky actor that she can interrogate with stupid questions...I love this guy
Vickie I strongly agree with you
Brando was most definitely full of himself lol Literally refused to learn the lines in the Godfather.

@@killerdude35 Damn right! haha. Can't imagine the talent you need to have in order to be able to read the lines on the spot and still act it out naturally and believable. Dude was a once in a life time type of person.
He was egotistical but not boastful.
"You are really making me angry now!"Connie didn't know how to take him at times! I love this man! One of a kind no doubt! She was out of her element!
There is a lot to love about this interview. One thing I loved aside from Brando and his way of thinking is how beautiful the environment is. How it went from sun up to sun down while the interview took place. From under the sun to under the moon.
Marlon Brando wasn't crazy. It might have driven him mad the way some interviewers keep ignoring what he says and asking the same question. But he was a genius, and very passionate about life and respecting other human beings.
This my point the interviews pushing their own Agendas jst watch his earlier interview you'll C what I mean
Yes. For example, Brando was talking about free will which Brando said was, "an interesting conversation" (at the 29:52 mark) and the moment he started on this very interesting topic Connie Chung feigned boredom and pretended to fall asleep. I would have loved to hear what Brando had to say but Connie Chung unfunnily and rudely cut him off. Why did she do that? That I don't understand.
They wanted drama, he gave them knowledge.
@@misonoresoconto because she’s an idiot like all journalists and can’t stomach anything intelligent

I did the very same thing
still my favorite actor he was so brilliant in the roles he did
I love his voice and the way he talks . For some reason it's comforting to me. The way he speaks to Connie and his Lodgic and reasoning. 😁 I'm 55 so maybe he reminds me of my Granfather who just said it like he taught it was . My family is Dutch and survived WWII in the Netherlands. People that have been through bad things and living on very little just understand each other.
MARLON stopped doing stage acting because it was so many hours and work and the money wasn't there as in films. I think that he is authentic and I also think that marlon Brando is a genius!
Marlon was of part Dutch descent. His last name was German.
Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing!
I think he was a kid at heart, a prankster, but very very intelligent and particularly insightful. He read people very well, and he wasn't very patient with poseurs.
Chung was a complete poseur and dimwit.
Daniel Toma No one should be predisposed to indulging poseurs .
Josey Bojangles Just your comment will do very nicely. Spare everyone your English lessons, if you don’t mind.
Jay Lee I have no problem with eithervof those things.
What an amazing person
I now realize that Marlon was ahead of his time. He knew he was a great actor, he did it, made money, was recognized for his talents. He could get or buy anything he wanted. He was not going to ignore the plight of others, nor try to spend his life trying to stay young and relevant. He lived. Those not so great, try to extend what once was.
Newmansprings
I agree, but i don't think he was ahead of his time.. Reading the meditations by Marcus Auerelius, you see that people have been having these realisations for thousands of years.
That's what high value men do lol. Alot of women r just commenting here it seems. I guess they would want to be with him if they could lol
so if talking about equal rights for blacks and american indians during the early 60s, and going against all the establishment traditions during the 50s, and talking about the news as a business in 65, wasnt being ahead of his time, than i cant help you....
Really enjoyed this interview. What a legend
I truly loved this interview, and don't agree with those that look at Brando as a nut. He was a very deep thinker and understood more about the world around him that he was given credit for. Definitely worth the watch.
He should've received an Oscar for this interview...Maestro Brando!
Everyone back then was too focused on trying to be an actor.Few alternatives listened to his personal opinions about the state of the world.He made a speech with Michael Jackson and everyone was distracted and not listening to him about social/political/cultural issues.
30:37 How incredibly rude and most importantly, sad, that she would prevent us from hearing Marlon Brandon's perspective on free will
Yeah, he was saying something fascinating, she sat there and pretended to snore
ridiculous. obscene tbh.

Want to thank Marlon Brando for the entertainment he has given me. Wish he made more movies. Thank you for being a voice for native people of the lands.
I love his candor and the fact that he tells it like it is. He has a unique sense of humor and perspective of this world. What a great actor... he was great in the movie The Score with Robert Deniro near the end of his career.

I've always admired this man. He's a down-to-earth human being. I hold much respect for him, always !!!
“I come from an Irish background. I think one of the defenses you find for people who are saddened, such as the Irish... life is too grim generally for most people, and when you’re down to your last nickel, and your last hope, I think all that you have left is laughter.”
I must admit that I've watched this interview more than once. In fact, I watched an abriged version on television when It was first broadcast back in 1990 Sheesh (lol) was it really 32 years ago? I love this re edit. It sometimes catches Marlon Brando with his guard down and being playful, a rare glimps in to the acting giant and man, that we are all here wanting to know a little better.
Brando is very charismatic. Also a man who knows who he is, but without the ego. A rare trait amongst actors. Also, Chung did a great job? To get an interview like this today, just wouldn't happen. Too many actors who want to protect their image to the point of being boring.
I love how Marlon Brando points out the absurdity in Connie Chung's questions
StevieDisopolis He would have done that to anyone interviewing him because he was an ass. Still, he liked her, and she him. Her questions were fine and things inquiring minds would want to know.
@@davidadams2395 he was an ass for being honest then. Strange standards you have.
@@Vingul As a person, he was notorious for being a jerk. And he _does_ behave in similar fashion with others, even towards those of whom he's fond, such as Larry King, who asks the same types of questions as Connie.
David Adams I think he was very gracious with Dick Cavett. If he lets him sit at the edge of his seat a little bit it's all good fun, and playing on what they talked about on the phone prior to taping (see the interview if you wanna see what I mean). He even compliments Cavett sincerely and says no one does what Cavett did on TV, and that he did it well. I certainly appreciate his honesty.
@@Vingul True, the Cavett interview was one of his best. I find Dick could bring out the best in all his guests-even Katherine Hepburn. I'd say Cavett's and Barbara Walters' interviews with Hepburn broke through the facade.
He made 14 million for 3 weeks of work. Damn. Even in 2020 that's amazing.
He's a legend. Could still be a box office hit, and he's dead.

Well, he is Superman's dad
Brando was an incredibly gifted individual and his charisma truly dominated the screen...he also had a great understanding for human nature and in my personal opinion he knew how to use his charisma to manipulate the perception of the audience off screen, and viewed as an enigmatic personality... He was truly remarkable and his acting on screen was a tiny aspect of the genius he really was...
This is the first time i've watched this interview and find Brando's candid answers and demeanor refreshing. And the times when that beautiful smile lights up his face i feel like we get a glimpse of that man with an unbelievable screen presence that could that's so captivating.
Even at 65, overweight, with gray hair loss, and a sort of somber melancholy about him, he still sparkles and shines once that incomparable smile lights up on his face
Also- He was still charming, charismatic, and very very interesting when he wanted to be. I just don’t think he wanted to show it. He could have went into that interview and faked answers, faked laughs and faked smiles, but he was a genuine man. He was always ahead of his time. A true acting genius. I loved his autobiography too. It was a very interesting read and I finished it in 2 days. I will always have this weird, special love for Brando whom I never even met

Thank you Mr Brando for keeping it so real
Simply brilliant. She did not understand Brando's complete lack of respect for all things which are governed, controlled and manipulated by societies. It's refreshing to see a guy challenge his interviewer, whilst remaining calm and true to himself.
He is brilliant here and does a superb job at showing just how stupid she really is. I think that was the only reason he didn't leave the interview because he was having too much fun showing her up. She sure made it easy.
@@inannaishtar1934 what in god's name are you talking about? this is a softball interview, with the interviewer basically giving the floor to brando, so he can throw out aphorisms, ramble, and complain a bunch about Dry White Season. you must have ADHD or something, because you couldn't possibly have described this interview less accurately
And she was increasingly obnoxious
The mastery of emotion on all levels
Well, it was a clash of ideals here… Connie Chung herself represents “all things governed, controlled and manipulated”… and Brando is directly confronted with what she represents in this interview.
How fantastic ~ wonderful interview with the brilliant Brando
Marlon Brando is a fascinating human. I could listen to him speak his truth for hours. He is absolutely authentic continuously.
Brando had a really unique way of viewing the world and is extremely interesting to listen to.
Would have been great to see Marlon spitting at social media today.
He would have nothing but contempt for it. Utter contempt.
So visionary ,so human ,his kindness was huge /great actor ,thinker,philosofher ,generous ,all in one .We lost a titan !
I was obsessed with him in Guys And Dolls & Street Car. Amazing actor & appreciate how honest & real he was. RIP 🙏
The falling asleep bit was ridiculous. What he was talking about was perfectly interesting.
Right man, when he mentioned all the Greek philosophers I wondered if he would talk about free will and when he did she behaved so rudely. So polite of him to laugh that off
Wow, and she’s a ‘journalist?’ Must be proud of this moment. Pure cringe
Very deep and profound man Interesting thoughts from Brando about life being a mystery The interviewer spoiled it
Could i honey? Who can deliver these lines like him with a thousand underlying meanings. Lucky connie!
Honestly! :)
This was such an intimate talk between Marlon and Ms. Chung. The wonderful Ms. Chung. She was amongst the kindest and smartest interviewers of that era. Marlon was really calm and serious about healing and experiencing joy.
I can understand why David Letterman had the hots for her!
Brando was 65 here and would live another 15 years. Happy Birthday Marlon, R.I.P.
No, he died in the 90's
Cosmic Pulse no, he died in 2004
What a moving interview. God bless his Soul. His words were definitely light years before his time.
The number of times I go back to watch this. I never lived in his era when he flourished as an actor. By watching his movies, I see how his natural style of acting really embedded the way actors deliver profound performances. Brando was the inspiration for that. In this interview, he is one of the realist actors I've seen. You don't have such realness from present-day celebrities in Hollywood these days. He was way ahead of his time!!
"He's the greatest actor in the world (to the dog). He pretends loves me when he needs something to eat" wow that is so quick and brilliant from Marlon and displays his intellect (in a comedic way).
It’s the Irish wit in him haha
"everybody in this life is an actor" true statement..we all pretend, act like everything is "fine"
Surely the alternative is rank honesty, and I feel that people would either be bored stiff by another's issues or can't be reliably trusted to take them seriously, at least without ego getting involved. So until that dynamic changes, everything's fine...
All the world’s a stage?
Not me
Aw, man! That was so short! I could have watched for two hours. What an interesting character. If according to him, we're all acting, then he has created one of the most interesting characters ever and he is extremely entertaining.
Amazingly real interview. I love how blatant he is about anything he touches as far as subject matter.
Great interview and insight.
