whoever was in charge of this pairing deserves a raise - seriously

Is it just me or is the chemistry here beautiful to watch? Seems so natural, more so than the others.

This is chemistry, they understood each other immediately, almost as if they shared past lives.

These 2 actors just met?! I feel like we just stepped into a conversation between long time friends. They have such good chemistry and rapport.

Andrew Scott is such an underrated actor. Loved him in Sherlock and Fleabag

"I think all stories are love stories" This explains so much about how Andrew Scott plays his parts. I feel like in every part he is somehow loveable, even when he is playing someone like Moriarty.

I saw this and immediately shouted ‘they are KILLING US with these pairings’. SO GOOD. I love the thoughtfulness and empathy in Andrew’s acting & that’s really true of Greta as well.

Oh my gosh Greta Lee is amazing! I'm so grateful she shared her story of being passed up for the role only to be offered the role a year later. Truly a sign that what's meant to be is what's meant to be, but it's also okay to mourn the loss of what isn't.

Can we talk about the chemistry between these two? The conversation just flows so well with them.

Greta is so incredibly funny! She’s got a graceful sense of wit that makes the conversation flow and pick up throughout. Andrew is attentive and kind, offering earnest themes about intertwining love and his craft. Very enjoyable watch. Seasoned actors finally getting their flowers

Andrew comes across as so intelligent. I'll never forget his performance in Sherlock. Masterpiece.

The fact that neither of these two got an oscar nomination is downright criminal

Past Lives and All Of Us Strangers are two of the most beautiful love stories I’ve seen in years!

It is actually unbelievable how gorgeous Greta Lee is. She is so wonderful.

"we are the new barbenheimer" lol greta is hilarious.

There're nothing better than mature actors who just enjoy their success in their mature age. Just fun and humble, I love them both so much

Andrew just has chemistry with literally everyone

These two talk so normal. It is almost as if I am eavesdropping a conversation between them at dinner.

Now THIS is a pairing! Fabulous chemistry. I love when new and extraordinary acting talents appear on the scene like these two have.

Past Lives was so phenomenal and Greta delivered such a deeply authentic and frighteningly affecting performance. I saw it months ago and even now I don't quite know how to talk about it, absolutely loved it.

Watching these professionals interact about their work is fascinating to me. I am an electrical engineering student - a kind of work where emotion, instinct, vulnerability, and failure are not only rare but in many cases discouraged - and I can’t imagine ever having such an emotional and vulnerable conversation with a colleague about work. It’s an amazing reminder of how different people can be, and how glad I am for that to be true. I could never be so passionate or skillful about acting, just like these two could never match my passion for electronics and programming (nor would they even want my skill set), but without people like them we would never have such amazingly powerful pieces of art, and without people like me they wouldn’t have the tools they use to make said art. I’m writing this at 3AM, anxiously awaiting my last final of the semester, to remind anyone who may come across this that you also have your own role in the world, and that you are special and important and NECESSARY simply because you are exactly you. Embrace your passion the way these two have and the world really will become better for it.

OMG, these two paired so well! They felt like two highschool friends instead of two actors who never met before.

i want a hundred more hours of these two incredible performers

A mother and a father…their power together is overwhelming

Andrew Scott in All of Strangers was incredible beyond words. I felt that performance in my soul.

Greta always gives off a cheeky playful vibe in her interviews, be it here or on Graham Norton’s red sofa. It’s really endearing.

I think Greta needs also some recognition for how sweet and kind she is

Been a fan of Andrew since his role as Moriarty, then the priest and his role in Hamlet(incredible btw) and even in black mirror were phenomenal, such an underrated actor! From now on hope he gets the recognition he deserves, sweet talent man with an absolutely kindest heart

I can't believe Andrew Scott is 47 years old. He looks so young!!! 😲

I love how every actors on actors starts with a bit of both of them jokingly talk about how they just looove the privacy and intimacy of the setting, haha.

I need these two to be in a movie together. They just met, yet their chemistry is through the roof

Greta's "God damnit" when Andrew says "I have a sort of idea that all stories are love stories" is such a genuine reaction to hearing Andrew speak yet another beautiful and profound truth. Love these two.

omg I am OBSESSED with this pairing. This year both actors are staring in tender, introspective romantic indie movies that reflect on family history and belonging. Both Past Lives (Greta Lee) and All of Us Strangers (Andrew Scott) are at the top of my watchlist...oh and they are critically acclaimed too.

They both deserve Oscar nominations

I saw Past Lives on the plane and I just sat in my seat sobbing after it finished and rewinded back to the bar scene and the goodbye scene to watch them again. One of the best movies of the year for me, incredible performances and outstanding screenplay!

These guys have unprecedentedly brilliant chemistry, this is easily one of the easiest and well-flowing Actors on Actors of this year!

OMG their chemistry is INSANE!!!! 😍 We definitely need a movie with these two together!!!!!!

The two great indie actors Andrew and Greta. All of Us Strangers and Past Lives are two of the most mesmerizing intimate films about and love and loss ever been made. So enamored by both of them!

The chemistry here is through the roof. Like I’ll watch 100 hours of them together whatever the situation…. Commenting for any filmmaker out there…

Such a lovely conversation between two underrated actors!

This was such a delightful conversation

oh my god their chemistry is so good. the banter is top notch. need to see them in a film together, i feel like they’d play off each other so well!

Now I need to see these two in projects together, their chemistry is too good to waste

Been in awe of Andrew Scott for a long time. He’s fantastic.

i LOOOOVVVEEE this pairing so much, i can't believe this is their first time meeting

They need to do a romance movie together the chemistry is A LOT

Whoever matched these 2 up really earned that day's pay. They are a joy to watch together. Their senses of humor just dovetail beautifully.

The banter and chemistry between these two are so good, such a great pairing!

This was so much fun. Might be tied equal with Margot & Cillian for my favourite Actors on Actors conversations. All Of Us Strangers & Past Lives are two of the best, most moving and touching films I’ve ever seen. 😭 Greta & Andrew are such wonderful actors & it was wonderful to listen to them talk about their acting processes. Can’t wait to watch their next projects.

This duo is wonderful Andrew & Greta's repartee is sublime.

this needed to be longer i thoroughly enjoyed every single minute their chemistry is so natural and relaxing to watch

First time I ever saw Andrew Scott in something, he played Paul McCartney. I must be one of the very few, because I never hear anyone else refer to that role when interviewing him.

And they just keep getting better this cycle. A totally delicious match up, and the notion of a double bill of "All of Us Strangers" and "Past Lives" is too, too good and simply must happen. Thank you, Ms. Lee, Mr. Scott, & Variety: this one rocked our world.

Andrew deserves all the recognition. ❤️ He's the sweetest. He played so many great characters The man is like a cinnamon roll and then play the most psychotic character on TV aka Moriarty. I can't wait to see Ripley and All of Us Strangers.

What an awesome couple. Love Scott and his work in films. Didn't know Greta would be such fun. She's awesome. Loved Past Lives.

This is such a fantastic back-and-forth. So engaging and warm. I hope to see these two again in the future, on this channel or elsewhere.

Variety put together the best pairings. I never even conceived of this pair in my head and they come from the most unlikely backgrounds to cross paths, and yet here they are, both absolutely perfect together!

Andrew Scott in Fleabag, omg. I come back to it from time to time and to this day I can't help but smile the whole time watching him and Pheobe W. Bridge. No other film does this to me❤

Didn't watch these two movies and this is one of my favorite episodes. Two very charismatic and interesting people, I could listem to them for hours. Great pairing!

Every single one of these actor pairings has been fantastic this year. Well done, Variety.

This interview was so beautiful. I laughed and cried along with them. Wonderful chemistry between them. So honest and insightful and real.

This was so beautiful. Such incredible people. I wish I could have such a calm and organic conversation like this one with someone I’ve just met 😅

Past lives is seriously the movie of the year, it’s stunning

I need this two in a movie. Their chemistry is undeniable

Both are so delightful and charming. Greta Lee and Andrew Scott , we get you your Oscar nominations !!!!

Past Lives is such beautiful masterpiece, I remember when the movie ended I just had the feeling like I need to sit with it for like an hour or a day before I do anything else. I have to watch All of Us Strangers now, I'm very intrigued

What a delightful pairing; Greta, with her sharp crackling New York bagel wit and Andrew's smooth, warm buttery Irish charm.

This is such a wholesome pairing. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole thing.

Two of the most beautiful movies on human emotion and experience, and two of the most insightful actors. What a win!

This was absolutely lovely to watch. What a pairing.

Andrew Scott is the one who made me realise that Hamlet is actually a human being.

What a genuine relaxed conversation, I want to grab a drink and join them

im madly in love with both of them

The 2 most devastating films of the year

I saw Greta Lee on The Morning Show and I love her! I can't wait to see Past Lives!!

He seems like such a down to earth and intelligent person.

I love him so much there's this easygoingness and cheekiness about him and it all seems so genuine.

all of the pairings have been so good but this one feels particularly special for some reason

greta is so effortlessly funny 😭😭

all of these conversations are amazing. this is one of my faves.

"Easy to root for," is what I would say about Ms. Lee and Mr. Scott. Congrats...and much continued success in the future!

I’ve been shouting my love for Greta Lee from the rooftops for a while now and I’m so happy she’s finally getting her flowers. If I were a rich producer /writer/ director I would put here in everything do.

These two really hit it off. Charming pair.

This is their "in-yun" moment.

Their charisma together if off the charts. Such a delightful, deep, playful interview with two gifted actors. Love love love

THE BEST PAIRING I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED

This looks like the beginning of a great friendship!!! I love watching this series, just amazing.

Andrew is my absolute favourite actor. Seems like such a wonderful and kind person too. I’ve watched everything he’s been in I can get my hands on and will continue to do so for as long as he continues to bless us with his talent. Hope he has nothing but love, health and success. 😊 What a great conversation this was. Two really sweet people. Going to see if I can find her movie to watch as well. ♥️

All of Us Strangers is absolutely outstanding but the most deeply emotional I’ve ever felt watching a film. Was lucky enough to see it at an advanced preview. Can’t wait to see Past Lives, everyone’s raved about it

Just realised Andrew and greta are people I could listen to for hours and not want them to stop talking like dude wow!

They seemed like they knew each other for a long time. And She is so funny ❤

I hope they stay friends because this was so lovely

Wow truly their chemistry is great, this conversation flows so naturally

I keep picturing them two in a movie together. Their chemistry and personality is just so endearing to watch !!! Well, one can hope!

i love their conversational rhythm and bback and forth! they were each so generous and vulnerable with their questions and answers. such a brilliant match up of actors and films

Andrew Scott has that magnetic quality. I saw it in fleabag. I can't explain it, but it's like he was written by a woman? lol. his emotional intelligence and ability to make the audience feel it in a unique way is special.

these two...I mean, talk about on-screen chemistry!

Omg, Andrew’s shirt!

What a dream pairing of two dreamy talents

Honestly, they should’ve been on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ together because they’d be hilarious!
