  • Paul talks about playing John Adams, why he was a bad President, having a lazy eye in The Holdovers, being nominated for an Oscar, attending the nominees luncheon and ruining the group photo for the writer standing next to him, living in Seattle after college, auditioning for America’s Most Wanted, going to In-N-Out after winning at the Golden Globes, and why New Haven pizza is the best.

    Paul Giamatti's acting just seems effortless. I mean, it doesnt really look like he is putting much effort into it but comes across as an amazing performance. Whenever I watch him I get the feeling that is what he is really like. Even though he is acting. That is true talent.

      I saw him in an Earthquake movie, where Giamatti played the Lead Seismologist, alongside Duane ("The Rock") Johnson!
      They were BOTH great!

    I love Paul Giamatti. He usually acts in these 'slightly off' movies, in these 'slightly off' roles, & he does such a wonderful job. He is so believable in all his roles. It doesn't matter if his parts are big (Duets, Barney's Version, Sideways) or small (My Best Friend's Wedding), he just makes the movie shine.

      John Adams was a series that Paul and Laura Linne as Abigail Adam’s breathed life into one of Founding Fathers and the 2nd President of our country. David Morse was a convincing George Washington. It gives great insight at the risk the Founding Fathers were put in and how they argued over writing the Constitution. Paul won a Golden Globe award Screen Actors Guild and Emmy in Lead Actor Categories for this one role. He was that good.

      Before I knew who Paul was I knew who his father was. Paul father was the Commissioner of Baseball for a few years. In 1982, I attended the All Star Game Home Run contest Practice session at what we used to call the Big A in Anaheim, California. I had a seat in the right field stands 10 rows from the field and caught a ball hit by Wade Boggs that had the OFFICIAL All Star Game Logo and Paul's father's signature imprinted on it. A. Bartlett Giamatti. Btw... I enjoy Paul's work as an actor. He does take on interesting roles.

    It’s many years since I’ve seen a current movie, but I had to see The Holdovers. What a great film! I love Paul Giamatti and the director Alexander Payne (my favorites are The Holdover, Election, and Citizen Ruth). And I once saw Paul Giamatti entering the turnstile at the Clark Street station. Will never forget it!

    You must see Paul in Lodge 49 TV show. He is in season 2, the last 4-5 episodes. Awesome

    I love Giamatti and even more now that I know he sticks to the #1 with no silly animal style nothing! Excellent choice, sir.

    Love Pepe's, thanks for the shout out Paul. It's a small place, line is long, so worth it.

    One of the very best movies I have seen in the last decade. Amazing writing. Astounding casting / acting.
