What a beautiful exploration, man! This was so inspiring. Subbed and congrats on hitting your 1k goal!

14:41 who is he?

Why are people mad that he’s well read and understands art 😂😂😂😂

this was great. thanks

I don't think he is pretentious at all. I think he's very educated, intelligent, and authentic. Dedicated to his craft. He just seems real to me.

Method acting is only weird if it doesn’t work. That’s why Strong is awesome and Leto is a loser.

bro continue your work your videos are very great and your presentation of ideas is incredible i hope u continue and talk about de niro and day lewis and Jack Nicholson and all the legends and all the talented directors

Excellent video, keep going man

When you come from a working class background and have to claw your way to find success, you have to be intense and work harder and more wisely than all the nepo kids to get to Yale and achieve so much. I think he's bloody brilliant, he's extremely intelligent and has a deep understanding of the human psyche, he deserves every success. He sounds v thoughtful and well grounded in interviews and appears to be a great husband and dad. I think Jeremy Strong is an absolute acting genius. The very best on screens at the moment. I can't wait to see more of his work.

He's really genius and smart. I wouldn't be surprised if he someday becomes president.

This man rules and he clearly keeps learning through all forms of art to inspire him. This man is a success and should be celebrated for his work and his work ethic

I didn’t like Kendall but every time when he’s in distress the emotions pulls me in and I cry every time he cries that’s how powerful Jeremy’s acting is

I admire Jeremy Strong's dedication to his art. Succession was unforgettable in large parts because of him, and I thank him for that memory.

brilliant analysis and editing, and i love how much research was put into this! i, like you, admire how hard he works and clearly the results are always phenomenal. i find so much of the backlash to him strange as, to me, he just comes across as an incredibly intellectual guy who's had to fight the odds to achieve what he's achieved and wants to talk about that with passion. it's also interesting to note that in all the recent videos of him at the stage door of "an enemy of the people", he comes across as such a genuine, kind, and soft-spoken man - not pretentious at all! again, bravo on this video!! "misunderstood genius" feels exactly right to describe him

Jeremy is a fucking legend. He's as real as it gets

A great analysis of a magnificent actor

Loved this and i totally agree. People don't know how to react to sincerity in a post-irony world so it rubs them the wrong way. He seems deeply earnest in a way very very few actors are.

Awesome video! Loved this and your Nicolas Cage videos! Subbed to your channel and can't wait for more

I don't think he's pretentious, but I think if you're upsetting your fellow actors on set and your older more experienced peers tells you that you can't keep this up, you should listen.

Amazing video man! The editing and storytelling is on a level of a high budget documentary! Reminds me a lot of Dodford's style which I also really like. Keep up the good work! 👏

He is a great actor, i wish i saw him more. I recently re-watched "the big short" and I was gladly surprised that Jeremy in that movie :)

I see him in the same category as Shia Labeouf, Jon Bernthal, and Joaquin Phoenix!

I can understand hoe his metjod may be hard to work with as another actor. He oribsbog foes go overboard. However i can't help but respect hos dedication and lovd for the craft hes fought tooth and nail for. Its admirable and it bears out in his work.

Being so genuine rn when I say his GQ essential items video changed me. I was on the derision train with everyone else..but was completely moved by what is just pure sincerity and passion. He's been a real inspiration for me since. "the work of every true artist is the salvation of every other." and in this moment his is mine.

Imagine being so passionate and skilled and people with a fraction of the talent mock you. He's a great actor!

'Dramaturgically' is a word that's used commonly in german. English speakers not picking it up makes me feel superior to all of those unilingual peasants, and if you found the word weird, you're a cretin. I don't take your opinion seriously, like a clown who jokes on things they doesn't even understand, let alone have the intellectual sensitivity to make a joke about that matter. You don't understand that word, just stay in bed in the morning, the world won't even notice you're missing. Stupidity is an insult. Lack of education is failure as a human being.

Let the man cook

I love him. Brilliant actor. He stole the show in The Big Short. Amazing in Succession as well

Nicolas Cage is my all time favourite Actor in history (Right up there with Daniel Day Lewis, Werner Krauss and Vincent Price). Every film he was in like Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds, Adaptation, Pig, Dream Scenario, Face/Off, Prisoners of the Ghostland, Colour out of Space, Leaving Las Vegas, Willy's Wonderland, Moonstruck, Ghost Rider 1 & 2, The Rock, 8MM, Bringing Out the Dead, Bad Lieutenant, Vampire's Kiss, Sympathy for The Devil, Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Renfield, Joe, National Treasure, Matchstick Men and Especially Mandy have always put a smile on my face. And even if the movie is good or bad, he always be the heart of the film. Whenever I'm in a bad mood or just feeling a bit depressed, Nick's would always cheer me up, he's very special in my life and he will always be... *A National Treasure*

Really solid video. Well done man.

One of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Keep it up

The trouble with method acting is when the actor is so committed that they become an asshole to others, i.e. Jim Carrey in Man in the Moon. But by all indications, people who have worked with Strong are more baffled by his technique than anything else. The most damage Strong does is by far to himself, and, yes, it does start to look a little pathological, but unlike most method actors, I would argue that he doesn't do it in order to prove himself- he just doesn't know any other way to act. He's the antithesis to Culkin's "Whatever, nothing lowkey matters" attitude; he's 100% genuine, which is something you don't see as much these days in a field full of jaded artists (who are albeit often justified in their cynicism).

Great analysis about the eldest boy

People dislike him because they don’t have it in themselves to be as committed to a craft as he is.

Being ever so focused on his craft, he really is a serious person.

Coming here from the Nic Cage subreddit, and what a joy this video was!! Thank you so much for exploring his ever changing craft and tremendous personality in such gentle, respectful and compelling way. He is one of a kind.

I'd love to see one of these about Philip Seymour Hoffman or Paul Giamatti.

Great video, I really enjoyed this. Thank you

Great video. You got my subscribe.

i need a john travolta paradox! from grease to movies like blow out & oulp fiction and then back again

Pacino so young he had Dustin Hoffman graduate chubby cheeks 🥲

Love it. Hes gone down a whole and now hes paid off his debt will probably start a decade of his best work. Going down as an all time great. Great personal story. Cant wait to work with him

Loved this watch - you produced a quality video mate! I always loved Nic Cage, but seeing him in context makes him even more lovable/impressive.

Ok, before I get too far in I wonder if there will be a James Stewart comparison mention. Let's see...

Great work

Damn, never really thought of Cage's acting career/journey in this way. Definitely a paradox! Underrated? Probably

Phenomenal video! I’ve always loved Nicolas Cage and it’s made me happy to see his recent success.

Nic Cage has always been my favorite actor, starting with Valley Girl and really cementing his top-tier status with Raising Arizona (a criminally underrated performance and movie). I've always wanted to meet Mr. Cage, and came oh-so-close during an elevator ride in Toronto. I was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, walked into the elevator, and there was Nic Cage! He was unmistakable, wearing boots, red leather pants and a red leather jacket. Unfortunately, he was talking on his iPhone the whole time, and I had the good manners not to interrupt him (even though I wanted to so badly!). Maybe one day I will get to actually meet my movie hero, although I think that quick "brush with fame" is as close as I'll ever get.

I will say what brought Cage back to me was Mandy or Color Out Of Space

Great video mate!
